On the upside, I have plenty of episodes to work my way through.
On the downside, 6 years worth of Progressive Insurance ads can get a bit wearing all at once. Thank heavens for the skip function.

What’s at stake in the fight against age verification is not just a single bill in a single state. It’s about whether “protecting children” becomes a legal pretext for embedding government control online that reinforces specific moral and religious worldviews. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/03/rep-finke-was-right-age-gating-isnt-about-kids-its-about-control

Rep. Finke Was Right: Age-Gating Isn’t About Kids, It’s About Control

What’s at stake is whether “protecting children” becomes a legal pretext for embedding government control over the internet to enforce specific moral and religious judgments—judgments that deny marginalized people access to speech, community, history, and truth—into law.

So much for shorts weather. At least I have my stylish #LibreOffice hoodie to keep me warm.

I'd just like you to know that the reason user guides do not contain sarcastic remarks is because of style guides and sheer force of will. Not because they didn't occur to the authors during the writing process.
