"Pres. Donald Trump is trying to intimidate his critics into silence. And, sadly, it is working ... The administration violates the Constitution by moving to eliminate federal agencies, refusing to spend money appropriated by statute, trying to end birthright citizenship, cutting funds for universities, deporting people without due process and punishing law firms for the sake of retribution":

I highly recommend listening to the Impolitic podcast with John Heileman, from about 3 days ago, where his guests were Peter Baker and Susan Glasser. The highlight was them explaining what happened in Russia, where they were reporters watching Putin transform Russia's democracy into a dictatorship. Trump is trying to follow the same steps Putin took. For example, Putin's use of fear and his attacks against Russia's universities, media, judges, and law firms. #politics #democracy #danger

Lawrence Tribe: "Just as Hitler rose from the ashes and grievances of World War I, it looks like Trump’s dream is to reduce the United States to rubble so that he can turn what’s left of our once great country into his base of aggressively expansionist operations in alliance with Vladimir Putin." #politics #danger

If my insurance agent could see the shit I get up to in my home, I don't think he'd be quite so nice to me.

But hey! Project complete! We got the giant 36" Trinitron in the loft, and with only one new scratch and one smashed finger. Everything is still sort of pulled apart but you can get a general idea of the layout. His and hers PCs and TVs on either end, with the CRT and retro consoles in the center (less strain on the controller cables and makes split screen co-op easier).

Well... Not quite complete. I still have to reattach the tinted panels, rework all the power/AV cables, install all the consoles, disassemble and remove the hoist, put the couch back, and clean.

But this was the hard part!

A large 36" CRT television, hanging from a chain and a series of ratchet straps. The TV is suspended in a walk-in closet space and is about 3-4 feet off the floor. This is pretty scary, as this television weighs 220lbs!
The 36" CRT television in its new home. To either side are LCD screens (48" and 43") on their own TV stands. The CRT is resting on a large coffee table, which is holding up its weight very well. In the background is a large triangular window partially covered with tinted panels.
An opening in the floor of a loft space, with a chain hanging down into the closet below. The large CRT television is just barely visible at the end of the chain. Up top, a hoist frame made of dimensional lumber is visible, alongside the original railing which surrounded the opening.

"Trump fires hundreds working on weather forecasts, satellite data and radar systems. The terminations come days before a potential severe weather outbreak in the southeastern U.S. — and just months ahead of the next Atlantic hurricane season":

« Pourquoi #Wikipédia était-elle présentée en 2005 comme un #danger pour la jeunesse et l’#enseignement, tandis que, 20 ans plus tard, on présente les « intelligences artificielles » génératives comme le #futur de l’enseignement ? Mon avis : car la première est portée par des structures à but non #lucratif, et les secondes par des intérêts #commerciaux et #politiques. »
