All the Empty Rooms on Netflix is heartbreaking but so beautiful. The fact the US didn’t increase gun restrictions after one school shooting is shocking. The fact they haven’t now is state sponsored murder.

Can’t believe US isn’t receiving more cyberattacks than UK.
But Trump dismissed Cyber Safety Review Board, slashed Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency by a third, halted funding of Bureau of Cyberspace and Digital Policy.
