"It’s worth not losing sight of the fact that the Attorney General of the United States out-and-out lied in a written statement – and in a context in which there could have been little question to him that Berman would publicly call him out for doing so. And he did it anyway."

Dear No-Cable-Management person who came before me: I WIN.

I get it, we all get in a hurry, need to patch cables and just make stuff work.

And then the snake gods pounce.

Pounce? snakes? Point is, mess just gets exponentially worse so at least bring a zip tie.

Fixed a water pump! Or anyway it works now despite my taking it apart, cleaning and reassembling. Didn't diagnose a problem.

Col. Larry Wilkerson:
"These groups are composed of people who are very concerned and wish to remain bipartisan, trans-partisan even, with regard to these elections. Our goal in both groups is free and fair elections, the results of which the majority of the American people accept as legitimate. And we're looking at all manner of scenarios. And some of them involve the misuse, I will characterize it, of the U.S. military.”

Quinn Norton:
The unspoken problem with engaging with a testing regime is why do it when you can’t get treatment, or afford it if you could get it? Why go to the doctor when that risks destroying your family’s future?

The way we get out is not immunity passports or herd immunity, it’s not test test test, it’s a whole system of health that cares for the whole population. ...Not just testing, tracing, isolating, but the most important part of public health: treatment. https://www.emptywheel.net/2020/05/17/its-the-inequality-stupid-why-test-trace-isolate-wont-stop-covid-19-in-america/

Make it go!
