Just ordered a grappling hook. 😂 I'm actually serious. I have a tree branch to deal with.

An interesting bipartisan interview:
"Julie Roginsky, a Democrat, and Mike DuHaime, a Republican, are consultants who have worked on opposite teams for their entire careers yet have remained friends. They break it down for us. Star-Ledger editor Enrique Lavín is moderator."
It's interesting to see the variance on elasticity of the wording in the responses.
There is more agreement than disagreement, imho.

No need to read it, really, if you have been paying attention...
I just really like the image of #Trump with the dow overlayed. That should be his new default image.

Pre-solar crystals. Quite a read before I head to bed, thinking about crystals formed before the sun.

This one i think falls under #privacy and, yes, #infosec
Because you don't know what they are looking at.
I think the next step would be a wifi jammer, which could be... oh boy. I can't see that far ahead. Too many variables to account for. Too many different laws or lack of them with weak enforcement easily made draconian.

You know... not everyone is going to agree with everyone.
That's what mute and block are for.
Life is too short for that.
Personally I liked the video I saw, especially because it was ai slop, because it had an inherent poetry to centralized social media.
Ahh well.

@Alice@beige.party and I am sorry she did not get more people to vote for her.
#Votershaming is not how you make this moment better for anyone. You harden lines that are softening.
