That is not the solution. You want a Green running your state assembly district, go for it. But at the federal level even saying '3rd party' about POTUS is a joke.

I guess they don't realize how pathetically easy it is to disable Internet access for entire regions.

I think we all should take this opportunity to stop back on Twitter and... 'talk' with Mike Davis. Facebook too, especially any FB Pages this clown is part of.

"Show them you're not afraid. Do it for the country. For the Constitution. For your family. For yourself. Do it for your freedom. While you still can."

This is excellent. Every Dem strategist who thinks there's risk in engaging these debates should watch it for guidance.

I did so with my mother, so many years ago. So happy I was with her when she left.

Members of the force's sports squad, responsible
- among other tasks - for policing the 170 miles of tunnels, caves, galleries and catacombs that underlie large parts of Paris, stumbled on the complex while on a training exercise beneath the Palais de Chaillot, across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower.
After entering the network through a drain next to the Trocadero, the officers came across a tarpaulin marked: Building site, No access.
Behind that, a tunnel held a desk and a closed-circuit TV camera set to automatically record images of anyone passing. The mechanism also triggered a tape of dogs barking, "clearly designed to frighten people off," the spokesman said.
Further along, the tunnel opened into a vast 400 sq metre cave some 18m underground, "like an underground amphitheatre, with terraces cut into the rock and chairs".

There the police found a full-sized cinema screen, projection equipment, and tapes of a wide variety of films, including 1950s film noir classics and more recent thrillers. None of the films were banned or even offensive, the spokesman said.
A smaller cave next door had been turned into an informal restaurant and bar. "There were bottles of whisky and other spirits behind a bar, tables and chairs, a pressure-cooker for making couscous," the spokesman said.
"The whole thing ran off a professionally installed electricity system and there were at least three phone lines down there."
Three days later, when the police returned accompanied by experts from the French electricity board to see where the power was coming from, the phone and electricity lines had been cut and a note was lying in the middle of the floor: "Do not," it said, "try to find us."

In 2004, Parisian police were conducting a training exercise in the french catacombs and found, after moving past a desk and a tape playing audio of snarling dogs, a fully functional movie theater and bar. When they returned 3 days later, the equipment was gone, with a note: β€œDo not try to find us.”

Sadly, this isn't always the case. I've had to deal with far right engineering coworkers for many, many years. And they quickly tagged along with musk as he marched rightward.

I just watched the first 30 minutes of Black Hole. It still sucks, I stopped watching. But the score is John Barry majesty.

My take tracks πŸ’― with you. Original was groundbreaking & unique. Legacy wasn't as good but did bring new filmmaking techniques to light. And the score was perfect for the film.

More importantly: original Tron sparked my interest to get into computers very early on.

I liked that episode, don't care what others think. It set a tone for the Federation's ability to keep out riff-raff, I know the writing sucked, it was season 1.

If you'd ask my 16 year old daughter she'd say her generation listens to the original 1960s American protest music, she and I have talked about this.
