Went and found this again, as I suspect I'll need it a lot for all the "Donald Trump is the real communist" memes which make me weary unto death.

I agree we should know how to talk to each other, and do so, provided we understand that fascists exist outside the social contract, and shouldn't be included. There's exactly one way to keep valuable, miraculous human beings safe from Nazis. Just one.

A bit of Neal Stevenson's novel, Cryptonomicon

From Cryptonomicon, by Neal Stevenson; After a while the towns became very far apart, and the horse farms gave way to a low stubble of feeble, spiny trees that appeared to extend all the way to Florida--blocking their view, but not the headwind. ``Where are the Pine Barrens I wonder?'' Lawrence asked a couple of times. He even stopped at a gas station to ask someone that question. His companions began to make fun of him.

``Vere are ze Pine Barrens?'' Rudy inquired, looking about quizzically.

``I should look for something rather barren-looking, with numerous pine trees,'' Alan mused.

If I were ten, this would have definitely come home with me.

I use Claude every day. It helps me. I do, however, want it dead.

The 10th Victim has a bunch of scenes in clubs and restaurants. Just a really fun, pretty to look at, Italian sci-fi film.

Apologies to anybody who isn’t a software engineer. I’d just scroll past.

(I've seen several people riffing on this. I'm the first one I know to fire up the meme generator and do it properly, but happy to take it down if I'm not)

He looks better in a top hat, but always a handsome lad.

We need media popular enough to help shape consensus reality, but not owned by a billionaire or for-profit corporation. Seems impossible. Queue this quote:

Some random guy with his groceries after ten hours at work: braver than the entire American executive branch, the secret service, and the marine guards, braver than 95% of the congress, braver than 66.6% of the supreme court. That's the post.

I wish they'd concentrate on first-rate reporting, rather than gimmicks, but, you know, management. They would do a better job just giving the facts, but the whole 'quote 4 republicans, and, when they're feeling generous, quote one dem,' thing doesn't feel like good reporting to me.

For ten years PBS has been sanewashing fascists, and now Greenland & Canada are considering the possibility that the US will INVADE them. You didn't cause this, but you spent a hell of a long time standing idly by & worrying about offending fascism fans.
