Walter Audisio (Italian pronunciation: [ˈvalter auˈdiːzjo]; 28 June 1909 – 11 October 1973), also known by his nom-de-guerre Colonel Valerio, was an Italian partisan and communist politician. A member of the Italian resistance movement during World War II, Audisio was involved in the death of Benito Mussolini, and personally executed the dictator and his mistress Clara Petacci according to the generally accepted account of the event.

Certain kinds of smart people tend to have a "sexy apocalypse" problem when it comes to thinking about risk. E.g. skynet turning everyone in paperclips, while bad, is also *kind of cool and fun* at the same time. Where the reality is that most actual disasters are both stupid and disappointing.

TL;DR: - Isn't it annoying that law enforcement needs warrants to track people? What if they, y'know, didn't? - If you take issue with women and queer people being tracked across the country by Flock without a warrant, Erick Erickson thinks you're "pro-criminal."

The AJC is currently running a pro-Flock op-ed from, of all people, Erick Erickson. Anyway. I think about this quote a lot.
From Andor, Season 2: "If you're doing nothing wrong, what is there to fear?" "I'm fearing your definition of wrong."

A region of space filled with bright stars and clouds of gas. In the centre, the densest clouds form the shape of a chest with its lid open. The chest appears to glow from within. At its base it breaks apart into long pillars of thick gas. Many of the gas clouds in the background are dark orange globules, while others form large, pale hazes.
