Patron saint of trailing-edge technologies, grateful resident of the nation-state of California.

It's hitting me really hard that the US could be another Hungary, if not Russia, for the rest of my life.

Being "late-career" I've got less to lose than many, when it comes to facing the consequences of nonviolent resistance, and that is the way.

But I reckon Vietnam-era protest, that I was just barely old enough to join, will pale compared to what's coming.

The American revolutionaries, Gandhi, MLK, Walesa, Mandela, Havel, Sakharov, Yousafzai, Navalny: all in my thoughts tonight.

Twitter is doing a pretty good job of hiding posts to the hashtag. A few are getting through the censors, but not many.

Thank you, @Gargron, for enabling spaces where actual free speech can flourish.

"No major news organization has yet run even one serious story about the state of Trump’s cognition and thus of his fitness for office. We saw dozens of these about Biden; so far, none about Trump."

I hugely respect Fallows and would love to know his take on why media give Drumpf a pass, and what exactly is the turning point he discerns.

But it's a paywalled article. Can anyone who has read it summarize the arguments?

I've long thought I probably should stand vs sit in front of the computer, but never made it happen. Now it looks like a sore tailbone will force me to, at least for a while. I have so many questions, and will appreciate any thoughts and advice.

Ideally I'll find a way to keep using my beloved Captain Kirk Chair which is ergonomic for my hands and wrists if not my butt, but maybe I'll need to mount the keyboard on a standing desk.
