Again for the people in back.

Democracy is not fragile. It's not an idyllic crystal statue.

It's malleable, it's a work in progress, it's clay on a potter's wheel. Yes, somebody can come along and smash the work we've put into it, but we remember how to make it again.

It can be fixed with time and effort. As long as people are there to do the work, we can fix it.

And now, somebody changed/revoked permissions on a production service account.

I can't wait until the weekend

It's been a long held belief of mine that you never grow untill you're uncomfortable.

It's time to grow. And grow a lot.

In just a few days, I'll be back in nature.
Hopefully without access or any electronics past a GPS.
The only thing I'd wish is that I could start a campfire, but there's too many dry leaves around that area to be safe.

Tell me Russia isn't worried about today's results.

Also, at what point can we just cut Russia of from the Internet?

Just saw a squirrel narrowly escape the talons of a red tail hawk.

There's probably a metaphor in here somewhere, but I'd rather just be amazed at the spectacle of nature.

It's that time of year when my body thinks it's bed time, my mind thinks it's still the end of summer, and my soul thinks it's still 1998.

That moment, just before you fall asleep during a zoom meeting... When you suddenly realize what's happening and that your camera may or may not be turned on.

Battlestar Galactica (remake) is 20 years old.

And still amazing

Democracy is not Humpty Dumpty
Democracy is not an ideallic crystal sculpture
Democracy is not "fragile"

Democracy is clay on a potter's wheel
Democracy is pliable
Democracy can be misshapen
Democracy is a work in progress
Democracy can be smashed
Democracy can be reformed anew

Me: Opens a ticket explaining EXACTLY the intended outcome
Director: orders worker to do the wrong action
Worker: does the action specified, closes ticket immediately.

Me: ummm, still broken
Director: sorry, ticket's closed
