I'm sorry, but Turnstile winning a Grammy for metal over any of the other nominees is flat-out ridiculous. This proves that the recording industry continues to hold real metal music in disdain, treating it as some sort of "other" category it would prefer didn't exist, and instead awards a punk song.

Decided it would be better to clear the driveway multiple times today rather than once. About 7 inches so far and ~10 hours of snowfall to go. Thankfully, it's light, fluffy stuff at the moment.

My favorite part of Google algorithm shifts is that they never seem to improve traffic. They only ever make it worse. Thanks for the help, Google! Always making journalists' jobs harder!

How to lose the 21st century to China:

1. Unilaterally disarm regarding the soft power competition by ending economic aid and international media agencies.

2. Impose tariffs irrationally on everyone.

3. Invade Greenland, break up NATO, and isolate the US from the entire world. 

4. Defund universities.

5. Discourage the best and brightest from immigrating to the US.

6. Withdraw from international organizations, handing over their control to the Chinese Communist Party. 

7. Foment polarization between Americans.

8. Stop supporting democracy abroad; just talk about power.

9. Weaken American democratic institutions at home.

Trump has unleashed a richly-armed group of untrained, unqualified, secret police thugs to intimidate, beat, and detain *anyone* they don't care for, very much including ordinary US citizens. This is full-blown Nazism. Full stop.
