If we want impeachment, we can have it. Here's how. Occupy Washington DC until it happens. 100K people always present at the US Capitol on a rotating basis until impeachment. Sign up for one day. Your life goes on mostly uninterrupted. Wear comfy clothes. Bring lunch. Hydrate. Circulate. Yell, talk, cajole. Whatever, but be present. #I love that she's having a public feud with El Orange. We need a few more non-presidential candidates to suck Trump into the great void of celebrity-bashing. That's how we get rid of the mofo.#
- One of the arguments in favor of Biden and other moderates is that they will get Republican votes and that would of course (imho) be good. If I thought of myself as a Repub, I'd be looking for a way to not vote for Trump, and still have self-respect.#
- I'd be susceptible to the argument that they're all socialists (I don't mind, I think we're all socialists anyway, that's the way our economy works in the areas that matter). Bernie Sanders would press my buttons. I might not vote, instead of voting for either.#
- Nixon called these people The Silent Majority.#
- However, if they want to be served, they have to find a way to let us all know that they really are out there. Repubs who would vote for a Democrat if a moderate were nominated. Maybe start giving money to Klobuchar or Hickenlooper, for example.#
- On the River5 mail list Hanan Cohen asks if he should wait for River6, what about the browser, and how to mirror rivers on Twitter feeds. I answered in an email, which I'll include below so it gets into search engines. #
- First, I'm glad to hear you're building a public aggregator for Israeli blogs. Let me know when you're ready for people to come and I'll post a note on my blog.#
- Okay -- now to advice re River6.#
- I never recommend waiting, and I also place a strong emphasis on moving forward with compatibility. A River5 installation can be converted to River6 quickly. It's just a matter of setting up MySQL, and then copying the lists folder from the river5 folder to the river6 folder. Then there's a variable amount of waiting for the river to fill up, but that's something the software does on its own. #
- All the changes are visible in the front end in river6.scripting.com and Podcatch.com, both of which use the new river browser. However it could just as easily be displaying rivers produced by River5. As far as I know there are no changes to that format between 5 and 6 (any that are present are bugs).#
- I have several rivers that are mirrored to Twitter feeds, for example nbariver.com is mirrored to @nbariver, using a Node-based utility that I wrote called riverToTweets. It's been running smoothly for years. I recommend it. #
