This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.
In this time every nation that is serious about the wellbeing of its people should be building resilience by ensuring self-sufficiency of essentials, including food, energy and digital communications (including financial systems).
We are at the beginning of some very troubled times.

Not sure this is entirely correct. Before there were large cities there was a network of rural small towns that were nearly self-sufficient.
When the disaster we are bringing on ourselves arrives, cities will last maybe a week. Small towns with a large rural hinterland may stand a chance.
No. It’s too easy to send other people to war.
“Batteries not included”? 🤣

This is the Platonic ideal of a social media exchange, never again to be equaled or even attempted:

Beautiful detailed work! Even down to the time; 7:17 on her watch.
Who could have foreseen that making a lot of people redundant while doing nothing much to bring the economy back into growth for a whole year would result in high unemployment
It's a mystery for the ages
An iPhone isn’t in the budget. But she’ll be fine anyway. She is super sensitive about giving away any particulars and very careful about clicking odd links. Like I say, she’s a worrier.
Yes, she is overly worried. But you try telling her that! 😊
Very well put!
Next time someone asks you about energy and land use, maybe remind them that the ~35 million acres that currently grow corn for ethanol in the US could produce ~15 PWh per year of electricity from solar photovoltaics. That's ~3.5 times more than *total annual generation from all US power plants*.

The city of Minneapolis and its residents were formally nominated for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize.
Thanks for the free English lesson.
So are you saying you didn’t understand my point?
I could of course just use a full-blown wordprocessor like LibreOffice Writer or OnlyOffice.
I’m using Joplin and Ghostwriter, but wonder if markdown is ideal for longer writing requiring more complex formatting, images, tables, etc.
When I hear “free world” I think of all democratic nations regardless of race or religion. Is that not what is meant by the term?
It is indeed deeply concerning that the head of the major world power could write and send such a childish letter. It either is the work of a child, or of a deeply disturbed or demented mind!
“This letter, and the fact that the president directed that it be distributed to other European countries, should trigger a bipartisan congressional inquiry into presidential fitness.”

I do all of my #writing on #Linux computers. I use markdown for short articles but I’m struggling to find the ideal software for long form writing. If you are a #writer and a Linux user, what is your preferred app for long form writing? I would love to learn from other people’s experience.
Let’s not forget that Antarctica is also under the eye of the resource pirates as well.
I beg y’all. Find other adjectives besides “insane”, “psychotic”, and “crazy” to describe evil times and evil people.
Mental illness is a whole host of disabilities that people manage and live with their entire lives. No need to casually equate it with evil & shocking. They are not the same thing.
I’m sure we will all welcome you here in New Zealand, if you are looking for an alternative! Unfortunately it’s a little more than a road trip to get here.
I would say that qualifies as a word marathon! I can barely manage 300 on a good day, and then they’re rubbish.
Rehydrate well!
