Get your shots damnit! Every single possible vax.
I've seen way way too much dementia/Alzheimer's in my life, it is such a cruel and vile disease

It was just pointed out to me that the entire printing industry and much of the media production industry are structurally dependent on Adobe, meaning that by deploying content-sensitive tooling restrictions - like the one Ashley demonstrates - Adobe has effectively announced that they have the right to a unilateral, systemic veto on what images can or cannot be published at all.
This is extremely, extremely alarming.
Look, if you show up for a protest and you slash car tires and break a security camera, you do that understanding that there may be personal consequences — and for vandalizing gov property, as the price of civil disobedience, maybe you accept your 9-month sentence + probation.
You do not accept a 50- or 70- or 100-year sentence. Many murderers get less time than that. If they murdered Alex Pretti or Renee Good, they apparently get no time at all.
This isn’t justice. It’s suppression. It’s authoritarianism.
