Claiming a former FBI head who _LET POTUS SLIDE_ hurt innocent people is ghoulish. Perhaps Mueller hurt us all by failing to jail or stop potus.

Bad Bot Problem
Following a report on the situation with Social Media and bots, Lewis Stuart of University of Nottingham is inspired to see just how easy it is to fire up his own botnet and puts them to work on a fake social media site: 'scroll hole.'

“Iran attacks wipe out 17% of Qatar’s LNG capacity for up to five years” costing $20 billion.
Bribing potus with $400 million plane wasn’t good from an ROI standpoint.
Surveillance gear installed can’t have given anything yet because he’s not flying it yet, and they’re out $19.6 billion on the $400 million “investment” bribe.
They got rid of an outdated plane, but still: potus doesn’t stay bribed.

With a stroke of his pen, Trump made the oil flow on behalf of Sable Offshore
— oil that hadn’t flowed for 10 years.
It began flowing from underwater oil wells located seven miles out to sea.
It flowed up to what used to be Exxon’s massive industrial plant along the Gaviota Coast.
And, ultimately, it flowed into two old pipelines that caused the 2015 massive oil disaster,
-- pipelines so corroded that Sable had to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to patc…

I was one of Mega's earliest users, back when it still offered 50 GB for free. I've kept my account active just for this reason, and now I'm going to start using it.
For now, I'm syncing all my photos and videos to my Mega cloud using rsync. This way, I'm following the common-sense rule of keeping one copy locally (via Duplicati) and another remotely.

On the first day of the #PTSD intensive, we talked about the shooting. I had felt like I was done with that, that it didn't have anything left for me. But there was something still that filled me with rage... that is still confusing and enraging.
It wasn't actually being shot. I wasn't even the possibility of death. I had been prepared to die. I always knew that was possible. It was something else.
I remember Marc Hokoana's face as he pepper sprayed pacifists, smiling and taunting, joyfully hurting people who he knew were refusing to respond. I remember their flags, the kek flag, literally a Nazi battle flag replaced in 4chan colors with the clover 4chan logo instead of the swastika. How many people have been tortured, have died? How much suffering, that these people not only welcomed but celebrated, joyfully participated in.
The cruelty was the point. It was the plan, the plan he posted to Facebook, the same plan as they have always had, of torturing people until someone responds and then murdering them. Inflicting trauma, responding with overwhelming force, showing how "big and strong" they are because they can always escalate.
Try to stop someone from peppers praying people, they shoot you. Shoot back, like Michael Reinoehl, and they send a death squad for you. But we keep standing up, so they keep escalating to the slightest imagined infraction. Now they just murder you for being in a car, for filming at a protest, for existing.
The bar for what justifies murder or torture will continue to move lower until there is no one left, or until they can no longer escalate.
The feeling of helplessness is still not the biggest thing though. It's the joy with which they inflict this on us. That's it. That's the thing.
