"What are the facts? Again and again and again - what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore divine revelation, forget what "the stars foretell," avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history" — what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your single clue. Get the facts!" - -Robert Heinlein

Anything from Vox Media and The Atlantic is now untrustworthy in any capacity from now on. Remember this when reading or linking to any articles in the future.

@literalgrill So sad. The Atlantic was one of the last decent places for decent writing. I think I'm gonna have to dust off that old Blog I used to have, because I think I can do a better job than AI.
Like Jello Biafra said "become the media"

I don't want to watch "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire", I want to watch "Who Wants To Jail A Millionaire".

I want American traitors charged with treason. They’re easy to find, they’re in the government.

@StillIRise1963 @carstenfranke Well, you would think it shouldn't be too difficult to do but the office of Postmaster General is overseen by a board of 9 governors, the majority of which are Trump appointees. Congress and the President's hands are tied. Trump may be an idiot, but somebody in his administration knew how to play the game. Hopefully it won't bite us the ass.

@carstenfranke @StillIRise1963 I don't know why he hasn't filled the empty seats, but it might have something to do with the rule that says that there can't more than 5 seats from the same party. Maybe he's trying to do a "Moscow Mitch"? IDK.

@carstenfranke @StillIRise1963 You're right, the service has gone down. But I will still rather give money to them than to UPS, because that's what they want us to do, and it's always a mistake to do what your enemy wants you to do. The Post Office is an American Institution that is hated by the fake patriots on the Right, and I'm going to do everything I can to keep them from destroying it. The Post Office is the biggest employer of veterans and the GOP chicken-hawks hate the vets, no matter how many flags they put on their monster trucks.

My Dad has super high blood pressure and worries too much. He also won’t stop watching the news. I don’t know what I can do to break his bad habits that make this problem worse.

@idoubtit Some people get a sense of identity and feelings of belonging from certain TV networks or political factions. Taking that away from them must be done slowly and gently, or else it may feel to them like an attack. Can you find a substitute to replace his News addiction? Or maybe take him on a trip away from social media and TV. There's a podcast called "you are not so smart" that talks about cognition and psychology that may give you some ideas.
