The higher forms of negligence (gross, wonton, willful) apparently require one to have some sort of awareness that ones actions would cause injury or death. But, since I never went to law school…

One of the accounts I follow on Instagram is the Hermitage Museum. I have never left a comment to one of their posts because it’s all in Russian, naturally.
This morning, however I felt motivated. Motivated by yesterday’s return and arrest of Alexiei Navalny. The story has been kept out of the official Russian press. I just wrote “Free Navalny!” I was kind of curious to see what would happen.
I checked a few hours later. The post was still there and the Hermitage itself gave it a like. I found that hopeful.

We’re not out of the hole, but I feel like the digging has stopped, and now we can try to get out of this damn hole. This gave me a little hope:
She lead the pledge in voice, and signed as well. It’s small, but it’s something. Really, I think USians overuse the pledge of allegiance, but an inauguration is a place where it fits.

She’s from South Fulton, too, which is a relatively new, Black majority city in south Atlanta.

What, they didn’t use gerrymandering, massive reduction of polling places, and requiring photo I.D.s to prevent the kind of massive fraud we saw in November 2020?

And it’s working – the number of robocalls we’ve received has plummeted. For now.
But I wonder – how long has the technology been available to do this? And if a while, why haven’t phone companies used it earlier? (A: republicans)

Caller ID worked fine in the 90s, so I’d say at least that long. As for why they crippled it in the 2000s, probably just because $$$. Sure tech changed a bit over the years, but nothing’s gonna convince me that the phone companies didn’t know where calls were coming from or going to. Tracking that is how they made their money for generations. When they couldn’t profit by selling caller-id as an upgrade anymore, they profited by breaking it.

And I spoke too soon. We’ve gotten 4 junk calls today, and it’s not even 2:00 pm.
