My father used to read those books - unhinged stuff! The bookstores used to be stuffed with series like "The Executioner"; I assume that readership has moved to video games.

The answer is to click "Log explorer and sampled requests" at the bottom (below all of the pretty but useless charts and graphs); and they actually made the log query tool a little nicer, at least easier than CloudWatch QL, but I don't like going on a voyage of discovery during a talk ...

I usually say "7th Street Entry", sometimes just "7th", rarely "the Entry." I'm old, but not sure if I'm representative? (Also, show up early to see the opening act whether you're at the main room or 7th Street - great opportunity to catch the up and comers bringing their A game!)

Tired: Harris courting the non-existent Cheney-to-Dem voters; Wired: Newsom bending over backwards for the equally mythical (and even more vile if they existed ...) Kirk-to-Dem voters.

It doesn’t look like fascism to Tom or you or me because the fascism is designed to serve people like us. For now.

I’m a middle class white male in a middle class neighborhood so the signs of daily fascism are few; for my immigrant and poor neighbors not far away, that’s not the case

"all but gone" suggests that we still have work to do - burn it all down and salt the earth.
