@deAdder After a month+ish break from here I've realized: This place is a cesspool. You're not doing yourself any favours posting here. Move over to the sky.
Excellent piece on the challenges of our current situation; well written and incredibly engaging. I hope there are more people out there like Lessig to help stear the ship.
Like, I've scaled back politics pretty heavily and decided to focus on gardening, home reno stuff, and gaming. Had no idea how much I've isolated myself.
How is it that I've been following my social media accounts for the last two days and somehow only found out about OceanGate from my SO during a late dinner/wine tonight?
The ugly truth is that the corruption of the Supreme Court is so obvious it demands investigations and impeachment attempts.

Let's all take a moment to remember Peter Boychuk who designed everyone's favourite highway trash receptacle, "Orbit." Mr Boychuk passed away on March 11.
Doing research, came across a letter from a 23-year-old reader to his small-town newspaper. It could be a summary of today's mainstream Republican talking points, but it's from 4 years before Fox News existed, 23 years before Trump ran.
Any guesses who was so ahead of his time?
Tucker Carlson's lies about what happened on January 6th are about more than just warping history we all witnessed.
This is a concentrated and aggressive effort to reframe the attempted coup and make way for a post-Trump MAGA power grab.
