I'm not minimizing anything.

People love to gloss over real racism in the electorate, and pretend like the big bad boogeyman of Cambridge Analytica tricked people's parents into voting racist. That's just not what happened.

Those people were enjoying Fox News for 20 years before Cambridge Analytica. Trump won because of extreme voter suppression, clear and simple.

The attitudes of those Trump voters didn't change before or after the election.

The great Tony Bennett has passed away at the age of 96. He was the last of his kind, a master of the American songbook. He may have left his Heart in San Francisco, but he won all of our hearts, from Sinatra to Lady Gaga. Be at peace, and sing to us now from the stars, Tony.

One of my favorite modern cybersecurity design things is when something on the server side authentication fails instead of your actual credentials / MFA, but the failure error message is identical so you spend an hour doing resets and second guessing yourself only to have everything work perfectly a little later on.

If you want to know what's going on with the upcoming indictment of Donald J. Trump for his activities to overthrow the 2020 election, read less Maggie Haberman and more @emptywheel. This article is enlightening as hell:

Trump's Attack on Black Votes Was There the Whole Time, We Just Didn't Call It a Crime - emptywheel

Trump deployed threats of violence to make it harder to count the votes of Black and Latino voters but no one treated it as a crime.

If you live in #Florida, PLEASE check this week to make sure you are still registered to vote. Do it again in six months. DeSantis and Florida republicans have wiped hundreds of thousands of voters, mostly Democrats, from the system, focusing on those that were by mail registrations.

Here’s an interesting statement from Medium that I missed last month. Fairly stark contrast to that email newsletter platform a lot of folks are still inexplicably using. https://blog.medium.com/medium-stands-for-lgbtqia-rights-ee4d63e8052e
Well, I did manage to get the NYT to post about “VC qanon” and the brainworms infecting the tech tycoons. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/06/opinion/robert-kennedy-jr-silicon-valley.html

Since July 1 you no longer need a concealed weapon permit to carry firearms in Florida

Ben T. Davis Beach, FL:

A 7-year-old was shot in the head and his grandfather was shot in the hand trying to defend the child

This escalated when the grandfather told people on jet skis they were endangering children

There were 17 mass shootings over the July 4th holiday
This year so far:
360 mass shootings
923 children under 18 murdered

It’s the guns.
