Exactly what it says on the label: The Pope in 1982. He's wearing a black hat, dark RayBans, and looks like he's a member of the Blues Brothers.

He is digging around again -- not clear if its another book/or expanded paperback version. Was asking me all sorts of questions about why you hired Ken Starr. I told him I had no idea - I think he is doing some Trump-related digging too.

Building a Community Privacy Plan
Everyone's security plans and situations will always be different, which is why we often say that security and privacy are a state of mind, not a purchase. But the first step is always taking a look
Developing a plan for if or when something bad happens online is a good practice for anyone, but especially a community of people who face increased risk. Itβs important to strategize with your allies around what to do in the event of such things happening. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

The Coming Swell of Scientists-Turned-Politicians
Instead of trying to depoliticize science, they're running for office.
By Katherine J. Wu
"Politics came for us," Andrews said. "You can't fight bad politics by staying apolitical."
Andrews is running to unseat Lindsey Graham in the U.S.
Senate, but she said she has found success in casting Kennedy
-arguably the country's most polarizing health secretary to date-as an opponent, too: "The more I speak out against the absurdity of RFK Jr. and his recent actions, the more traction I am getting."
DR. ANNIE
ANDREWS
Politics came for healthcare and the only way to fight back is by getting political.
So proud to be one of many doctors running for office this cycle and so grateful for @314action.bsky.social and their support. πΊπΈ
