I've been working SO hard to get #BackupBrain to a place where I was proud to share it with folks.
Installation is still too geeky, but I (maybe…we?) can address that in the future.
If you decide to give it a try, please let me know. Positive or negative, I'd love to hear your experience with it.

‘WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said on Thursday that Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, has access to a powerful space laser that he will use to steal the election…
Another cause for concern, the Georgia congresswoman warned, is that Emhoff and Harris are “extremely close.”
“Kamala Harris talks to Doug Emhoff every day,” she alleged. “You would never see President Trump do that with Melania.”’

Big-org life is like state+-level politics in many ways. The most salient is that making anything happen depends on folks with different missions agreeing to help you on the basis of shared values.
A big part of that is acknowledging *we all* live & work in systems that make doing better harder than it needs to be in theory.
