The Senate Republicans and Trump are all suddenly fine with releasing the Epstein files.
This means they already have the narrative crafted and the documents cleaned up.
The Democrats need to be ready to take charge of the narrative.

The connection between Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein is no accident, but reveals a deep logic at the heart of reactionary politics.

This is why the progressive left in Canada needs to care a hell of a lot more about national security and defense than they currently do.
We purport to care about health care. We need to be serious about the full range of threats to public services.

Mitchell went to jail for doing what Nixon told him to do.
This may be something the Attorney General under Trump, Pam Bondi, should consider.

Alan Dershowitz is one of those claiming Epstein was not a pedophile because he pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. "That’s not a pedophile." See this important response from Julia Brown, the brave reporter who broke the news on this

The International Criminal Court is ditching Microsoft Office, saying it’s too dependent on US tech, in favor of Open Desk, a German open source alternative.
The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.

Part 3 of my ongoing series about the incredible WW2 flight of the California Clipper is now up and free to read.
Imagine having to fly your aircraft on regular gasoline, which it has never used before.
Now imagine having to work out how to do that while you're flying over the vast Indian Ocean...

In 1941, Pan Am's California Clipper had to do something no commercial flight had done before: circumnavigate the world.
In Part 3 of our series looking at her journey, the crew must work out, mid-air, how to fly her on regular gasoline. Something her Wright Cyclone engines were never designed for.

Unable to source military-grade aviation fuel, our crew are forced to cross the Indian Ocean using regular gasoline. Something no Boeing 314 has ever flown on before.

Interesting thread (for me anyway)
Now that saw the architecture in detail, I realized there's a lot of overlap between PDS and Solid Pods.
How much of a stretch would it be to wrap a PDS around a Solid pod? 🤔
Could be cool to re-use the same data in totally different contexts, while still giving full control to the end user.
