Can you imagine the embarrassing dandruf problems Gorgons had whenever their snakes were molting? There's probably not a shampoo for that kind of thing. :thonking:

Long article, but worth reading from @ProPublica

https://propub.li/4gF50W0

A wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover, climbing the ranks of right-wing #militias.

He penetrated a new generation of militia leaders, which included doctors and #government attorneys.

He sent ProPublica a massive trove of documents. The conversations that he secretly recorded give a unique, startling window into the militia movement.

You can fix uninformed. You can fix underinformed. You can fix poorly informed. You can fix misinformed. You can fix malinformed. You can even fix some forms of medical inability to process information.

This isn't that. This is stupid. You can't fix stupid.

• A header from Slate magazine that reads "My Cacio E Pepe Exposé. It should be just cheese, pepper, pasta, and oil—but something's amiss in the sauce." There's a generic stock image of a pasta supplied along with the header.

Overall I'm happy with the current state of things. I'm self-hosting things that are important to me, and getting a lot of value out of the services that are being handled by third parties. And I have a higher level of trust in the third parties I'm using.
