Trump will die before he can pay for his crimes. Everyone else in the boat murder chain of command should get a lawyer. (If any of them are actually reading this, lawyers are overrated. ChatGPT and going pro se are definitely the way to go.)

@Lazarou LOL true on the supervillain trying to make the movie. Here's a great Bond plot:

Nefarious billionaire villain, who jets around the world and has a giant yacht, has started to place surveillance devices in every home in the world (calls it "The Echo Network"), as well as cameras […]

Rarely are we going to see big wins. And as I said, those of us fighting today for pluralistic constitutional democracy in the U.S. today are not likely to live to see our side prevail. So we aren’t going to be energized and refreshed by big victories. We therefore have to energize and refresh […]

Here's the pretend RV scene I'd like to re-enact (one I witnessed at a campsite):

(Two women arguing, man standing nearby. SCREAMING ensues. Entire campsite wakes up and tries to figure out what happened)

One woman: "YOU SLEPT WITH MY HUSBAND! HOW COULD YOU?!?! I LET YOU STAY HERE WITH ME!" […]

The street that my mum lives in is a one-way street, but wasn't marked as such on #google Maps. This caused many drivers to drive the wrong way. I have tried to edit it on Google Maps (there is such functionality), but to no avail. No matter how often I submitted a change (with photos of street […]

I think the MOVE bombing isn't as well remembered as it should be partly because it's so over-the-top crazy that people brush it off as something where "there must be more to it than that". But no. The police department literally used a helicopter to drop an incendiary bomb on a row house in […]

I have checklists for groceries, for travel, for things to take to my son's baseball games, for camping and more. I use AnyList (https://www.anylist.com), an app that works on almost everything. It's not good for one-offs or as a task manager, but for checklists you use again and again it's the […]

I'm 52, and was diagnosed with ADHD in my 40's. I have a LOT of coping strategies. I have 24 AirTags on various things. (Once you get past 15 or 20 it can get kind of weird.) I don't put anything other than drinks in my refrigerator drawers, because if I put something that spoils there, I'll […]

"I’m repeating it, because the illegal seizure of power isn’t just another story to be swept away in the deluge of other stories. It’s the foundational framing to understanding everything.

That's the most brilliant alert I've ever come across:

"Your 'Status' page is receiving way more page views than usual"

Even if your other monitoring didn't catch it, the fact that a whole bunch of users are checking to see if the system is down is a pretty darn good canary.

"How could this happen" folks were *NOT* paying attention to the Santa Rosa fires, Thomas Fire, Camp Fire, Woolsey Fire (plus countless others) and the Lahaina fire. Anyone who hasn't seen the entire world has crossed a threshold is in denial.
