I wonder how many people most of us follow on social media are millionaires, and how many are billionaires?

[Freek van Ostrand @sullenfish]

The very existence of such unaccountable, unrestrained power leads me to believe that one civilization has already died.

We know our history.

What do you want America to be, here and now?

What do you want America to be tomorrow?

[Freek van Ostrand @sullenfish]

Is it American to stand up for your neighbors, wherever they’re from?
I think it is.
Is it American to live free of the threat of extrajudicial murder?
I think it is.
Is it American to defy unjust authority in all its forms?
I think it is.

DNI Gabbard: I haven't read that policy

CIA Director Ratcliffe: I'm not familiar with the DOD policy

It’s important when things start changing to catalogue the things you’ve lost, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant. Use paper. Use ink. All else is ephemeral.

Hey CSci history nerds, I just had a variation of the "magic/more magic" scenario!!!

@tauriqmoosa Has IGN been watching the same show that I have? For me, each episode's "character stuff" makes the concept of a masked vigilante with seemingly vast resources completely outside the reach of the families increasingly absurd and terrifying.

Nothing like starting the day by suddenly having to add export EDITOR="'C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\vim'" to your .bashrc to do an error-free git pull for some reason.
