No. Thank God.

A guy at work said to me:

“Did you know that Native Americans don’t mind being called Indians?”

Oh, you polled thousands of people from all parts of the country?

I wanted to turtle into my shirt.

Oh, they are, are they?

Maybe this will help them bring back the $1 KFC Snackers.

No, I did not. This is unpopular opinion, not save democracy. Either way, I’ll do you one better.

1. Stay engaged

When all the news is about Trump and pardons and lies, it is easy to want to retreat and stop paying attention. Don’t. It is precisely when things are hard that we must all lean into remaining vigilant and informed.

2. Help Democrats

The success of any opposition movement rests on the opposing party taking power. This is not a minor detail; in our system of government, it is the essential goal. Next time you want to attack a Democrat for being too much of this or too little of that, realize that you are only helping the GOP. Instead, find a Democrat you support and volunteer or contribute to their campaign.

3. Don’t do Trump’s work

This is more than simply resisting Trump’s actions; it is refusing to accept his false assumptions. When he says he wants to abolish birthright citizenship, do not accept the premise that he has the power to do so. Stay grounded in the truth: The U.S. Constitution is clear, Trump is powerless and the courts will reject his efforts.

4. Don’t grade on a curve

This goes both ways. Do not hold Republicans to a lower standard and do not hold Democrats to a higher one. When a Republican does something normal, recognize it is normal not exceptional. When a Democrat does something normal, recognize it is normal and not terrible.

5. Believe in the courts

Republicans control all three elected branches of the federal government. They do not control the courts. Yes, the U.S. Supreme Court has a solidly conservative majority, but the high court only hears a few dozen cases a year. And in some of those, the Court has sided with democracy. Most importantly, remember that Joe Biden confirmed a record number of new federal judges. And, of course, there are state courts. For better or worse, we are dependent on the courts to help protect democracy. Rather than assume they will not, insist they do.

6. Beware of false attacks

Pam Bondi is an election denier. Kash Patel has an enemies list of political opponents. Donald Trump has promised retribution. When you hear that a Trump foe is under investigation, be skeptical. When you read about anonymous leaks against pro-democracy leaders, consider that it may be part of an effort to discredit their work.

7. Support independent media

The legacy media is failing our democracy. Every day brings more news of another billionaire owner or corporate overlord bowing down to Trump. The solution is found in independent news outlets that have no incentive to make nice with the Republican Party. Some of these are broad-based news operations, some are issue specific. Pick a few and subscribe for free. Find one or two that you pay to support. It will go a long way to ensure a vibrant media ecosystem willing to stand up for democracy.

8. Use your town square

Every one of us has a town square. It may include our social media accounts, our local book club or dinner table. Use your town square to speak out in favor of democracy and against what Republicans are doing. Do not shy away from difficult conversations; seek them out. Engage the curious. Educate those who seek information. We all have a role to play, so don’t assume your voice is too faint or your platform too small.

9. Prepare for a long fight

In 2017, we hoped that Trumpism was a fluke and would pass. We now know it will not. We are in for a long fight and must build and commit to an opposition movement that will stand the test of time. We will have victories and setbacks, good days and bad. We must understand that this will not be over in one election or with the defeat of any one candidate. This is the fight of our generation, and it will take time.

10. Don’t give up hope

Our best political movements were hopeful. John Kennedy insisted that “we should not let our fears hold us back from pursuing our hopes.” Bill Clinton was the man from Hope. Barack Obama ran a campaign based on hope and change. Donald Trump and the Republicans want you to give up hope. Despair and cynicism fuel their movement. We must always, in the words of Jesse Jackson, “keep hope alive.”

Meaning separate alternative platforms for each Google product

I know there’s privacy issues that a lot of people here care about, but there’s no alternative for me that has email, photo storage, calendar, notes, cloud drive, and maps.

I could do all those separately, I guess, but why would I?

“is there anything I could say that would change your mind?”

My uncle is a lunar landing denier and I asked him this. He said the only thing that would convince him would me to take him there and see it himself. That’s when I realized I’m not dealing with someone who get themselves into a POV through logic, so you can’t use logic to get them out.

I know Internet commenters LOVE doom and gloom. Covid had people screaming in the comments that we we literally all going to die. Yes, it was a pandemic, but panic was never healthy. And its not now either.

Read the article.

It is unclear whether the human bird flu patient in Colorado was also infected by B3.13.

The patient was experiencing “flu-like symptoms” and had “health conditions that can make people more vulnerable to illness,”

Health experts had thought that the B3.13 strain might be less severe for people infected. That is different from the D1.1 strain that was behind a bird flu death in Louisiana last month and a hospitalization of a child in Canada last year.

Stop seeing “bird flu” in the title and promoting panic just to make a news company more money

Let’s be honest. They ain’t gone do SHIT.

Video games. At least for me. Mobile games suck.

Neither are as good as film?

That’s subjective. Subjective to the application and the viewer.
