It's even worse than it appears.

Podcast. Spoilers, so beware. Two of my favorite movies: Amadeus and As Good As It Gets. Why? Because I identify with almost all the characters in some way. Such incredible story-telling. So much truth about our failure to understand our own struggles and beauty, try as hard as we can, and to accept the beauty in others. Also a short interruption as I got a spam call that I answered. I leave this kind of stuff in my podcasts. 🚀#
Bill Pascrell (D-NJ): "Section 3 of the 14th Amendment was written after the Civil War to bar from government any traitors who would seek to destroy the Union."#
The nice thing about YouTube TV is its UI is sensible and powerful. You can see what's on all your top networks in realtime. #
Nick Arnett: "Conspiracy theories are driven by fear of accepting the idea that nobody is in control."#
The conventional wisdom that schools are safe may no longer be true because the concentration of virus in the environment now is much higher than it was.#
Occam's News says that what's going on with the Repubs in DC and the attorney generals of the states that sued the swing states is this -- coverup. They're all expecting that if Biden takes office, they will be soon be implicated openly with something horrible, likely treasonous. And what that is is not really a mystery. They were all working for Russia. Either for money or because of kompromat. There's an old motto, "in for a penny, in for a pound" that applies here. And who is not implicated? The governor and secretary of state of Georgia and a few other Republican state officials who stood behind the election results in Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan. And very oddly -- US AG Bill Barr. Amazingly, he didn't go along with the coverup. He appeared to be the most corrupt of them all, except for the Trump family. Go figure! #
How to ask for help with software#
  • Three things your report must include: #
    • What you did.#
    • What you expected to happen.#
    • What actually happened.#
  • It may help to include a screen shot if it reveals something that is hard to communicate in words. #
  • If you can access the JavaScript console, take pictures of any messages in red, or anothing else that sounds like an error message.#
  • If you're using free software rememeber that any person who helps you is doing the work for free. Make it easy for them and they're more likely to help. And when it works, say thank you. For good karma. 💥#

You know those obnoxious sites that pop up dialogs when they think you're about to leave, asking you to subscribe to their email newsletter? Well that won't do for Scripting News readers who are a discerning lot, very loyal, but that wouldn't last long if I did rude stuff like that. So here I am at the bottom of the page quietly encouraging you to sign up for the nightly email. It's got everything from the previous day on Scripting, plus the contents of the linkblog and who knows what else we'll get in there. People really love it. I wish I had done it sooner. And every email has an unsub link so if you want to get out, you can, easily -- no questions asked, and no follow-ups. Go ahead and do it, you won't be sorry! :-)
