A propos ***nothing at all***, yesterday I left copies of ON TYRANNY: TWENTY LESSONS FROM THE TWENTIETH CENTURY by Timothy Snyder in three of our local Little Free Libraries.
Reminder: "Read the books they're banning. That's where the good stuff is."

Jamelle Bouie in NYT yesterday, on 'Trump Fantasy Unraveling':
He already has what he wants: freedom from accountability for a lifetime of lawbreaking and an easy way to line his pockets. The American people may not profit from his presidency, but he will. Indeed, he already has.
******
It doesn't capture the unbreathable putrescence blocking out the sun itself, or the mortal danger to any kind of American freedoms & ideals, but it's nice & tight
I currently subscribed to HULU
Like other folks I'm looking to change
SlingTV is owned by Dish which is owned by EchoStar. I like the idea that the CEO has dual citizenship; American/Iranian. The co-founder & Board Chairman, Charlie Egen, has an interesting history, even if a little sketchy
I was all set to switch then read that Egen met w/Trump in June & was subjected to typical Trump bullying. He caved. Now I don't know
We are in an era of increasing government surveillance, information control, manipulation, censorship, propaganda, and various forms of oppression, 1984 serves as a timely reminder of the perils of authoritarianism…
Thank goodness Stephen Colbert is still on the air.

TST’S GUIDE TO EFFECTIVE PROTEST
https://thesatanictemple.com/pages/the-satanic-temple-s-guidelines-for-effective-protest
1. Protest is an act of free speech, and protesters must respect free speech.
2. Have a clearly articulated position with tenable demands and a practical well-defined statement for what constitutes achieving your goals.
3. Effective protest is founded on a legitimate theory of change that is exemplified by the structure of IF I do X, THEN Y will happen BECAUSE Z.
4. Protest must be based on a principle as opposed to identity politics. Everyone benefits from the pursuit of well-conceived principles.
5. Stay focused on specific issues and do not adopt issues that you think are analogously related.
6. Stand for issues and principles – do not reflexively support the entire agenda of parties, organizations, or individuals.
7. Do not allow narratives to prevail over facts.
8. Restrict your movement to people who believe in the principles of your movement.
9. If your protest calls for the deprivation of rights and liberties of others, intimidates others, harasses or threatens others, silences others, then you are an enemy of freedom no matter what the justification.
10. Engaging in, promoting, inciting, and/or celebrating physical violence that deliberately targets civilians is never justifiable.

You would think that Britain would be one of the places that remembered that kowtowing to dictators doesn't work. You would be wrong.
