To sum up: An estimated 5 million people protested in 50 states but the stories were deliberately relegated to the back of most major newspapers.

It isn't enough to be just bigger and louder. If you want to be heard, you have to disrupt things.

Are you mad that your protest wasn't covered? Have ten or twenty or fifty people go into your local news office during your next protest and ask how many people you need to make headline news.

It isn't the left that's making things political. Left-wing activists don't rail against comic books or movies or trading cards or public restrooms woke. It's the right doing that. It's the right railing against that as loudly as they can.

Maybe we should start asking why that is.

Like, there's even a really subtle thing here that I didn't do on purpose, but I'm absolutely going to say I did later; I mention that if you shut your mouth and listen to someone for half an hour, they'll tell you exactly what they want. And at the end of the video, half an hour in, I do just that.

I DID IT! I GOT IT RUNNING! HUZZAH!

Computer is restarted. Skyrim and Mod Loader 2 are downloaded.

Apparently I need to download a new verwion of Skyrim Script Extender? OK. I can do that.

Step one, I suppose, is uninstalling and reinstalling both the game itself, and Mod Organizer 2. Seeing if that does anything. Guess I should restart my computer while I'm at it.

I am also accepting any and all kinds of unsolicited advice.
