𝐿𝒶𝓃𝒶 "not yet begun to fight"@nuintari agreed. Reflecting on the founding fathers, they saw how efficiently King George III could inflict misery on the colonies, and they designed a government with checks and balances. One could argue that what they made was by nature inefficient as it fought with itself, that this was perhaps a feature to them, not a bug.

@mackensen years ago I started using non-isp DNS servers configured on my router, and the difference is night and day. Highly recommended.
@GottaLaff it feels like a fringe benefit for the folks committing the atrocities. By doing so many awful things at once, not only does it exhaust people's ability to build awareness and resistance, but it gets people fighting over what is a distraction from what, further fracturing that resistance.
Like, yes, each of these things is distracting from our ability to focus on the others, but let's have the self awareness that calling something a distraction trivializes it, and none of these are trivial things.

Sounds like that 30 hour Vegas drive may have been quite the culinary experience! 😀

@pivot the above advice goes double for primaries.
Vote for progressive candidates.
Every time.
Every election.
Then vote for the party that's most likely to elect progressive candidates.
Every time.
Every election.
@Lana every election needs to include the primaries. I'm tired of people bemoaning a flawed democratic candidate that they didn't even take the time to vote against in the primary.
@Viss @drsbaitso and so many environments have alerts tuned down to nothing for malicious activity originating from them.
Absolutely buried at work and home. Lots going on. Going to try to just take it easy tonight.

Timo GrünThought of the day: I am not ever going to subscribe to Wired, The Atlantic, The Guardian, New Yorker, NYT and 20-30 other good publications just for the handful of articles from each I read. However, I would GLADLY sub to an aggregator like Feedly if they distributed my payments to the publications on the basis of the articles I read.
