I have must have missed something, I often do ... who is this and why does she rate 3 "kou"s?

It was Privacy Badger, specifically. I disabled it for reddit and was able to log back in, after re-enabling it, everything is fine. It's only a matter of time before that gets stricter enforcement or other measures are added. maybe it's time to get while the getting is good.

I'm still figuring this out. I just unfollowed a couple journalists / authors because they were too high-volume and everything else was getting lost in the shuffle.

Great episode, but kind of depressing from the standpoint of how we're increasingly going to be discussing minutia around the proclivities of our feudal lords.
