While we spectate on The East Wing being torn down, it isn’t just another hallway, it’s where Eleanor Roosevelt built the modern Office of the First Lady, where WWII bunkers were hidden, and where the public enters the People’s House. Erasing it is rewriting history.

"It’s obvious that Republican proselytizing and fearmongering about violence and agitators at this rally was strategic, but it’s even more obvious that it was a piss-poor strategy. You can’t plug your ears and yell 'antifa' while hundreds of thousands of Americans march through the streets."

Malcolm Ferguson looks at the Washington, D.C., No Kings protest and says Republicans should be afraid. The event itself entirely exploded the fear-mongering lies about a left-wing extremist event full of violence. Ferguson notes:
"The atmosphere was extremely energetic and family friendly for both young and old."

A few days ago many of us would have expected the New York Times to under-cover the No Kings protests relative to its coverage of much smaller right-wing gatherings."

"All last week, Republican leaders tried to portray the No Kings protests scheduled for Saturday, October 18, as 'Hate America' rallies. G. Elliott Morris of Strength in Numbers partnered with Atlanta-based science newsroom The Xylom to estimate that as many as 8.2 million people turned out yesterday to oppose the Trump administration."

"It was the senior protesters who really got to me. I can’t imagine what it must be like to be of a generation whose parents endured or fought in World War II, to see where we’re headed right now, and to be all too aware that you may not be around before we know if we’re going to get out of this. I can’t imagine facing the end of life with the worry that your grandkids won’t inherit the birthright for which your parents fought and sacrificed."

I guess that consolidating the distributed network that is the internet down to a small handful of providers is working well for us, right? 😅

Looks like the AWS outage means some sites hosted on Netlify, like mine, are having loading problems for some people in some regions (the details are sketchy at the moment)
These sites are, in theory, static file sites that could be loaded straight off a content delivery network.
I clearly need to ramp up my plan for getting off Netlify and US-based hosting. 😐

The series "Mussolini - Son of the Century" from last year is a remarkable one in many ways, but the soundtrack by Tom Rowlands (one half of the Chemical Brothers) is simply outstanding.
