Uspol, genocide
In case you're wondering whether "political violence" is escalating in the U.S.A. right now, of *course* it is as we move into an era of concentration campus and domestic military deployments. But both domestic genocides and purges as well as political violence targeted at individual prominent figures has been a *constant* throughout American history, from gun duels fought between political rivals to massacres of Native Americans in order to steal their land, to pogroms against Catholics, to literal wars on local Black success and political participation, all dating back before the American Revolution to the beginning of colonization. Thanks to Wikipedia, here's a *small sampling* where I attempted to whittle things down to about one event per decade before recent times.

Leech (2022) by Hiron Ennes is a post-post-apoc novel told from the POV of a hive-mind parasite that's eliminated any human who has medical knowledge, except for the humans it inhabits. This is rationalized as a survival tactic.
The story begins with a mystery: the parasite has no memory of the death of its host who was doctor to a tyrant in the bleak north, so it sends another of itself to investigate. It discovers the dead host has a different parasite. A dog eats that. Some peop…

I’m running CalyxOS on my old Fairphone4, not because it’s a bad choice, but precisely to observe how incredibly behind this OS is on security updates.
My primary device today is a Pixel 9a running GrapheneOS, not this outdated, insecure, and privacy-compromised Fairphone 4.
This Fairphone never became my daily driver once I realized just how far behind it is on security and privacy. I used it from October 2022 until I switched to my Pixel 6a running GrapheneOS in early May 2023,…

Alpine County, perched like an emerald on the crest of the Sierra Nevada, is as rural as rural California gets.
Vast distance separates its sparse settlements, tucked among forests and crystalline streams. The views, unobstructed by city clutter, go on forever.
There is no hospital,
no supermarket, fast-food restaurant or shopping mall anywhere in its 743 square miles.
The only stoplight is temporary,
put in place for a bridge repair.
And yet if all goes …

In 2022, this town was voted by CBC readers and viewers as the "Best Small Town in B.C.". Sure, it's got skiing, golf, scenery, and friendly people but it's also a destination for your next #BigStuffInSmallTowns road trip. Kimberley's downtown was designed to resemble a Bavarian tourist village, so it features an almost 7 metre tall cuckoo clock where Happy Hans, a Bavarian-style mountaineer, announces the time.
