Trump is just the trigger.
There are deep historical forces:
The dismantling of the FCC fairness doctrine by Reagan, the resulting emergence of Fox News, conservative talk radio, and other propaganda outlets, the removal of guardrails for the influence of money in politics (e.g. Citizen United), the continuous reduction of taxes on high incomes, the ever-increasing wealth and income inequalities enabled by the above, the stagnation of working class income despite continued increase in productivity (and corporate profits), the total lack of social protection and benefits compared to other developed countries.
People in the middle class and below have been screwed for 40 years and are angry.
They should be angry at Republicans.
But the Republican party has managed to deflect their anger towards immigrants, non-Christians, non-whites, liberals, LGBT, China, academia, intellectual "elites", scientists, journalists, and non-existent scarecrows like Antifa.

🚨🚨🚨 Watch Jeffrey Epstein plead his Fifth, Sixth, and 14th Amendment rights when asked if he and Donald Trump socialized with females under the age of 18 during a 2010 deposition:

Q: Have you ever had a personal relationship with Donald Trump?
A. What do you mean by "personal relationship," sir?
Q. Have you socialized with him?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Yes?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Have you ever socialized with Donald Trump in the presence of females under the age of
18?
A: Though l'd like to answer that question, at least today l'm going to have to assert my Fifth, Sixth, and 14th Amendment rights, sir.

1/2 Had a great time at the Hack on VisionOS Event
@SpatialCut yesterday! Met great people and worked together on a fun idea. Our app DoodleVision is a party game with shared 3D drawing for SharePlay. We won the Showcase award and hopefully will get on the App Store soon…

An introduction to Hard Bop in 25 albums - a thread🧵

Hard bop, from the mid-1950s, expanded bebop with elements of R&B, gospel, and blues, enhancing jazz's emotional depth and texture, especially in saxophone and piano play...

@NimaZeighami @benz145 I noticed this with the Varjo headset that had the secondary high res display in the center: I didn’t mind the lower PPD in the periphery because anything I really wanted to see I was rotating my head to look at anyway.

[Devon Copley @DevonCopley]

@NimaZeighami @benz145 That wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing…central ppd *should* be prioritized. We naturally turn our head towards anything we want to scrutinize. It’s uncomfortable to look to the side for very long. If you want to look there, you move your head to center your eyeballs.

@bilawalsidhu Looks like Google made $400m profit on $3.2B revenue in 2004. IPO valued the company at $23B. I know which one I’d rather own a piece of.

This past weekend, we celebrated 20 years of Old Skool Café transforming the lives of San Francisco’s at-risk youth through jobs, community, and purpose. From its start in Teresa Goines’ home in 2004 to its current home at Mendell Plaza, Old Skool Café has become a beacon of hope for the Bayview community. Through this youth-run supper club, young people gain crucial employment skills, life lessons, and the confidence to thrive.

Here’s to the next 20 years of impact and opportunity for San Francisco’s youth!

I know the aviation buffs are going to appreciate this one: the first flight of the XB-70 Valkyrie – 60 years ago yesterday! Despite its limited service-life and troubled development history, the Valkyrie stands as one of the great and awe-inducing planes of all time. It was marvel of innovation and boundary-pushing aeronautical engineering. Only two Valkyries were built; one exists today @AFMuseum in Dayton, Ohio – the other was lost in a mid-air collision that tragically resulted in the deaths of NASA Chief Test Pilot Joe Walker and Carl Cross. The Valkyrie represents a truly amazing aviation story!

@agarwal @geteero You have to set up UniFi Console software to operate the whole system, you have to update all the firmware or things get weird, and the configuration options in the Console are endless. And don't reinstall your OS or you have to reset everything and start over...ask me how I know
