Tonight in 1990 โ€” Laura Palmerโ€™s killer was revealed on TWIN PEAKS.

ABC insisted, and David Lynch and Mark Frost delivered a chilling episode.

But Lynch hated closure, and he got his payback with a finale cliffhanger it took 25 years to resolve. And even then, he still left us wondering.

TPM has been publishing their readers observations about the election. This one is especially revealing of how algorithms drive the โ€œbroโ€ online culture via what it perceives as male interests using almost any young male oriented subject area as a way to target and feed them Rogan and others in that bro landscape (Andrew Tate)โ€ฆ

Again and again the algo is the out of control poison diminishing us all.

Great recommendations here.

Don't forget to also use web browsers who don't spy on you or leak your data.

On desktop, I primarily use LibreWolf (hardened Firefox); occasionally Ungoogled Chromium.

On mobile (Android) I use Chromite.

Test results of these and their competitors may be found here:

Black people throughout the country, in more than 20 states, have been getting racist text messages that order them to report to a plantation for slave labor, according to reporting by CNN and numerous other outlets. The texts reference โ€œslave catchersโ€ and โ€œpicking cotton,โ€ These hate-filled messages have been received by both kids and adults. The texts appear to be targeting Black and Brown individuals, including students.

It's going to get personal.

I got work to do.

Hey New Eggs-

This place is different. Ask questions. Weโ€™re usually nice here if you are. Use hashtags liberally

Sorry, no algorithm here. Youโ€™ll have to go exploring to find cool people. It wonโ€™t be that hard. It throws people off but itโ€™s better really.

Create filters. Block people you donโ€™t like. Follow those you do. No bots. No ads.

If you find you like it here, go so we can keep the lights on.

It wasnโ€™t her fault.

No candidate can reason about facts and policies with voters who have no real interest in such things. They like the promises of social revenge that flow from Trump, the tough-guy rhetoric, the simplistic โ€œI will fix itโ€ solutions.

Also:

An affluent society that thinks it is living in a hellscape is ripe for gulling by dictators who are willing to play along with such delusions.

I think the first thing I'll do is disable notifications for all of the news apps.

If you want to understand what's happening, forget about "the economy" and immigration and all that. This is happening all over the world, among people who think that others are *unjustly* living better than they are - even while they themselves are living well.
