  1. Ah, the FBI: specialists in overreacting to a glorified "please fix my buggy code" request, mistaking it for a grand jailbreak scheme. 🤦‍♂️🔒 Meanwhile, the rest of us are just trying to finish our bagel without burning the office down. 🥯🔥

  3. A quotation from Molly Ivins

    This has happened before in our history — in fact, it’s a pretty predictable reaction to fear. We get so rattled by some big Scary Thing — communism or crime or drugs or illegal aliens or terrorism — something that scares us so much, we think we can make ourselves safer by giving up some of our freedom. Now, not only does that not hold a drop of water as a logical proposition but it has consistently proved to be an illusion as a practical matter. Empirically, when you make yourself less free, you are not safe, you are just less free.

    Molly Ivins (1944-2007) American writer, political columnist [Mary Tyler Ivins]
    Bill of Wrongs, Introduction (2007) [with Lou Dubose]
