Brian Allen: "The Minnesota National Guard was asked why they are handing out coffee, donuts, and hot chocolate to protesters. Their answer: 'It’s a demonstration of safety and security. We’re here to help.' That’s how you de-escalate. Not masks. Not threats. Not bullets."

Creating opposition to the actions of the state or a political cause is rarely about changing the mind of 'the other side'.
It's about making time- or information-poor people aware of the horrible shit. The 'undecided centre' is rarely neutral. It's underinformed, consciously or subconsciously.

A few days ago, I stood in the graveyard of an 1100 year old church, getting damper and damper in the drizzling rain.
A woman walked into the graveyard, waved, said hello, and, as we had previously arranged, handed me a paper bag full of human bones.

VPNs are crucial for letting people work from home, which means companies can downsize to smaller offices.
Gee, I'm sure glad the houses of parliament are not filled with landlords!

Long, somewhat terrifying thread. For a long time I assumed it was a metaphor for American politics, but it seems it really happened.
Mind you, I find it hard to believe American politics happens too.

I really enjoyed the webcomic this series spun out of, but haven't read the novels yet, so when I saw a new book was out I bought all six (they're very cheap in the Koko ebook store).
Looking forward to reading the lot of them.

It's a minor thing in the context of everything going on, but I think it should be illegal for law enforcement officers to mask their face while on duty.

WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.
“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.

Been out to shovel snow off the path to the door and the stairs, and off the pavement/sidewalk outside the house.
(The council will be clearing the roads and streets, but pavements have lower priority so house owners are supposed to keep the bit outside their house clear for prams and wheelchairs.)

"Ho ho ho," laughed Santa. "I think you mean 'sable', little girl."
"No," she replied in a whisper, her own naughty and nice list clutched so tightly her knuckles whitened. "Some folks got to get got."
