Last Notes npub1fdl2gd79sh4cf2es5eehmlzdtt8yrth7yurvptrwnynx76ffpzmqfw3ens June Casagrande @npub19fc…ay3c I haven't been able to watch the news since I saw a mob of Hamas monsters throw a naked, unresponsive Israeli girl into the back of a truck while a throng cheered for them. npub1fdl2gd79sh4cf2es5eehmlzdtt8yrth7yurvptrwnynx76ffpzmqfw3ens June Casagrande @npub1yf4…fcsf And succeeding. npub1fdl2gd79sh4cf2es5eehmlzdtt8yrth7yurvptrwnynx76ffpzmqfw3ens June Casagrande Some eclipse glasses labeled ISO-compliant are not. LA Times has tips on how to test whether they're safe. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-04-04/preparing-for-the-solar-eclipse-what-you-need-and-how-you-can-watch?utm_source=press.coop npub1fdl2gd79sh4cf2es5eehmlzdtt8yrth7yurvptrwnynx76ffpzmqfw3ens June Casagrande @npub19fc…ay3c I hadn't even thought of that. Kinda makes the Musks and Thiels seem much more frightening. No awareness the masses are anything but ants at their picnic. npub1fdl2gd79sh4cf2es5eehmlzdtt8yrth7yurvptrwnynx76ffpzmqfw3ens June Casagrande @npub1tel…4v4v "Foundation"? npub1fdl2gd79sh4cf2es5eehmlzdtt8yrth7yurvptrwnynx76ffpzmqfw3ens June Casagrande @npub1xg3…nyjk Everything the GOP does takes wealth or power from the vulnerable and gives it to the wealthy and powerful. It's their entire agenda. npub1fdl2gd79sh4cf2es5eehmlzdtt8yrth7yurvptrwnynx76ffpzmqfw3ens June Casagrande @npub1hvz…mle9 @npub1lrv…tth9 Thanks! You mean here? Looks like they only archive books, websites, etc., not news articles, which is the bulk of what I've had published online. Am I doing it wrong? npub1fdl2gd79sh4cf2es5eehmlzdtt8yrth7yurvptrwnynx76ffpzmqfw3ens June Casagrande @npub1lrv…tth9 If anyone has tips for an efficient way to copy articles from the web, either as a Word document or as a PDF, I'm all ears. My current method is to copy all the text into a word doc then take about 5 or 6 screenshots and paste them individually under the text in the Word doc to piece together the whole story. npub1fdl2gd79sh4cf2es5eehmlzdtt8yrth7yurvptrwnynx76ffpzmqfw3ens June Casagrande @npub1lrv…tth9 I give them money when I can. Others should, too. (ProPublica, too.) npub1fdl2gd79sh4cf2es5eehmlzdtt8yrth7yurvptrwnynx76ffpzmqfw3ens June Casagrande George Takei made my day. npub1fdl2gd79sh4cf2es5eehmlzdtt8yrth7yurvptrwnynx76ffpzmqfw3ens June Casagrande @npub1khx…geyg To be fair, the '80s were a blur for most of us. npub1fdl2gd79sh4cf2es5eehmlzdtt8yrth7yurvptrwnynx76ffpzmqfw3ens June Casagrande @npub19fc…ay3c Aim lower: npub1fdl2gd79sh4cf2es5eehmlzdtt8yrth7yurvptrwnynx76ffpzmqfw3ens June Casagrande @npub19fc…ay3c I remember during all the speculation on whether Trump was hopped up on Adderall thinking: Why do I need to pee in a cup to catch missing commas in sponsored content articles while the guy with the nuclear codes, who works for us, doesn't have to prove he's clean? npub1fdl2gd79sh4cf2es5eehmlzdtt8yrth7yurvptrwnynx76ffpzmqfw3ens June Casagrande @npub19fc…ay3c My opinion: He suggests there's significance where there is none, and he subtly plays on readers' egos to convince them he has something of substance to say. However, his prose is outstanding. He's a great writer, even if he's a bit of a snail oil salesman. npub1fdl2gd79sh4cf2es5eehmlzdtt8yrth7yurvptrwnynx76ffpzmqfw3ens June Casagrande @npub19fc…ay3c The worrying thing about the Orbans and the Trumps and the LePens and on and on is that there's a coordinated effort to discredit democracy across the globe, propping up these fascist wrecking balls of the democratic world order and at the same time using psyops to mindfuck the masses into pro-fascist white male victimhood — and it's working. Trump, Orban, etc. are weapons in a war we're losing. npub1fdl2gd79sh4cf2es5eehmlzdtt8yrth7yurvptrwnynx76ffpzmqfw3ens June Casagrande @npub1lrv…tth9 @npub1lea…zztp "Confirmed the idea." 🙄 npub1fdl2gd79sh4cf2es5eehmlzdtt8yrth7yurvptrwnynx76ffpzmqfw3ens June Casagrande @npub1m68…46jg Gift link: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/05/us/politics/trump-kash-patel-journalists.html?unlocked_article_code=1.D00.UxaH._l7NCu77_OWO&smid=url-share npub1fdl2gd79sh4cf2es5eehmlzdtt8yrth7yurvptrwnynx76ffpzmqfw3ens June Casagrande @npub19fc…ay3c Republicans were fine with representative democracy until they realized free and fair elections could put a Black man in the White House. npub1fdl2gd79sh4cf2es5eehmlzdtt8yrth7yurvptrwnynx76ffpzmqfw3ens June Casagrande @npub1su4…a0dw What could possibly go wrong? npub1fdl2gd79sh4cf2es5eehmlzdtt8yrth7yurvptrwnynx76ffpzmqfw3ens June Casagrande @npub189n…satx And Ivana should be buried under the floor. npub1fdl2gd79sh4cf2es5eehmlzdtt8yrth7yurvptrwnynx76ffpzmqfw3ens June Casagrande @npub1hvz…mle9 Don't forget Google Translate can play text as audio — helpful for repeating and repeating and repeating French words.
