Trump’s insurrection strategy.

https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/october-30-2025

The Epstein files must hold a dead body somewhere. Trump goes to insurrection when squeezed.

“The establishment of a domestic quick reaction force to quell civil disturbances at a time when there are no civil disturbances that can’t be handled easily by existing law enforcement suggests the administration is expecting those conditions to change”

"Countries that slide from democracy toward autocracy tend to follow similar patterns. To measure what is happening in the United States, the Times editorial board has compiled a list of 12 markers of democratic erosion, with help from scholars who have studied this phenomenon. The sobering reality is that the United States has regressed, to different degrees, on all 12.”

In a world of numbers and flickering screens, the stock market dances like a whirlwind. Prices rise and fall, like a rollercoaster, twisting and turning, leaving me dizzy. I watch the graphs climb, then plummet, a puzzling maze where fortunes are made and lost in the blink of an eye. News flashes like lightning, but clarity is a distant star. I grasp for understanding, but it slips through my fingers like sand.

Starting now and through at least the end of November, I’m setting aside 25% of omg.lol’s net proceeds to help any members who are unable to buy food due to the loss of SNAP funds. I’ll donate whatever isn’t needed to the Dare to Care food bank here in Louisville, KY.

Communities like ours can help each other out in tough times, and this is one simple way to do that.

If you rely on SNAP funds and need a hand, you can email help@omg.lol.

What'd I miss?

components know:
- user stuff
- device stuff
- app stuff
- design stuff
- what stuff is in them
- what stuff they're inside
- etc

It's amazing how much a component can know on the web, and I'm going to try and list it all out. Help me 🤓

Trick or treat candy is for everyone. Cute kid in an adorable costume? Candy. Teen not in a costume feeling self-conscious but hoping you'll give 'em candy anyway? Candy. Adults accompanying the trick-or-treating little kids so they don't run into traffic in a middle of a sugar high? Oh, you best believe they're getting candy. You, giving out the candy? Have a fun-size treat, babe, you deserve it. CANDY FOR EVERYONE, all the time and this year most of all.

Do you have apps that don’t seem to be syncing via iCloud properly? Turns out there’s a new iCloud terms and condition agreement you need to accept in IOS settings before syncing will work again.

My iPad alerted me to this but my iPhone did not and of course only accepting it on one device means syncing is still broken.

We’ve been getting a spate of users writing to complain that our apps have been having trouble with iCloud and now I think I know the root of the cause.

THANKS APPLE!
