Do you have a hidden phone? Perhaps keeping you safe from an abuser?

Today (US only) at 220p ET there will be an "Emergency alert test", which you cannot disable.

So if you are in harms way with a hidden phone, be sure to turn it off before the test.

Boost, pass along.

In 1381, King Richard II said these words to the defeated leaders of the Peasants’ Revolt:

“You wretches detestable on land and sea: you who seek equality with lords are unworthy to live.

For as long as we live we will strive to suppress you, and your misery will be an example in the eyes of posterity.”

I appreciate it when elites are honest and straightforward about their intent, their contempt, and the system of privilege they fight to preserve.

"We read some of those," the alien ambassador said.

"Others said we'd be space orcs."

"Indeed. None were correct."

"What are we?"

"Great storytellers."
