It is *morbidly* fascinating to see the world through the paranoid eyes of Marc Andreessen in this Q&A

deep inside the interview he drops this comment

As he sees it, executives at multiple tech firms felt they were at risk of “full-blown violent riots” by their own employees

Without
Resistance
We all fall
At the
Same rate,
My love,
I’ll meet you
At the bottom
Of everything,
Broken open,
Spilling hope.

Hopefully the power will be back on in the morning. Going to be an extra blanket kind of night. Thankful for my Luci lights.

For the “why mask?” folks: Your car has brakes, bumpers, crumple zones, seatbelts, lights, airbags, and a collapsible steering wheel column *and more* to reduce your odds of injury.
Yes, you DO need multiple layers of protection. Period.
So is someone going to sue Kevin McCarthy and Fox News for this deal to hand over all the Capitol security footage from Jan. 6 to (checks notes) Tucker Carlson exclusively? How is that even remotely legal? @aclu

How Canadians confuse the world:

- We measure outside temp in Celsius and oven temp in Fahrenheit.

- Length in meters and our height in feet.

- Cheese is weighed in kilograms but people are weighed in pounds.

- We speak like Americans, spell like Brits and randomly throw in French words.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Why aren’t Republicans out in front of the idea that we need to build a modern electrical grid which supplies people and our businesses energy in a sophisticated and superior way, increasing American competitiveness in the 21st-century and overall helping everyone’s health?

Is there one single forward-looking idea anywhere to be found in today’s Republican Party? Newsflash, tax cuts for billionaires ain’t it. Standing in the middle of the tracks with your arms folded while the freight train known as the future obliterates you is not a genius political strategy in the long run.

But then, fully investing in developing anything that would help anyone outside their high-level donors is beyond Republicans at this time.

US friends, take note. I went to vote in Berlin today and this was the line in front of the polling station. “But wait! There is no line!” Indeed. There is no line because there need not be one. Because it’s about how polling is organised. If you are standing in a line for hours in order to exercise your democratic rights, it’s because someone wants you to.#polling #democracy #righttovote
