That seems bad, but what I really want is to hear what Bat Boy’s view on the policy is.
Since it seems like the Post is reaching towards roughly that level of discourse…

Gevers reportedly gained access to Trump’s Twitter account on Friday last week. He says he tried passwords such as “MakeAmericaGreatAgain” and “Maga2020” before hitting on the correct password of “maga2020!” Gevers is a well-known security researcher and has been quoted in several Ars articles on other security topics going back to 2017. He is a researcher at the nonprofit GDI Foundation and chair of the Dutch Institute for Vulnerability Disclosure.
“I expected to be blocked after four failed attempts” or at least be “asked to provide additional information,” Gevers said, according to de Volkskrant.

Must be nice to rely on the income that falls within the 40 percent tax bracket.

I assumed it was a tabloid until you mentioned the Post. But I maynot have been far off in the first place.

You were not.
“Perhaps we should consider a Christmas ‘circuit-breaker’. A 24-hour lifting of restrictions on gatherings and celebrations, a break in the war on Covid, just like the pause in the First World War on the Western Front in 1914, when the British and German troops laid down their guns and met in no man’s land to celebrate Christmas.”
Yep, that has definitely gone to first place in my list of dumbest things I’ve ever read.
[Edit] Damn, right after that, I ended up stumbling on this, apparently by the original CEO of Soylent. Now I’m worried that my brain cells will start committing suicide if I read anything dumber in the next 24 hours…

Unfortunately, Christmas is only 12 days of feasting and revels while the quarantine period is two days longer.

Voting is being deliberately ratfucked which “electronic voting” will not cure:

Agreed. The question being presented is “Can electronic voting work?” which it probably can, but that’s not really the most pressing question at hand.
I found this particular statement notable (emphasis mine):
Last time, as it usually does, the Republican party lost the popular vote and won the presidency; it has spent much of the time since trying very hard to suppress the votes of people it doesn’t like.
This has happened four times in ~56 elections, which is a 7% failure rate. While this is one of several frustrating features of the Electoral College, it does not in my opinion meet the criteria for using the qualifier “usually” to describe how frequently this outcome happens.

How is that petition supposed to work?
How is that lawsuit supposed to make sense?
And aren’t a lot of the people also angry about trans women considering ourselves female? Defining woman as adult human female makes it harder for trans women to make the fine distinctions gender-critical feminists want, not easier.

I think a lot of women don’t comprehend what it’s like to be trans. I don’t know this for sure, but it’s possible they fear trans women because they were once men biologically. They don’t understand why - and I realize Annie Leibowitz caught hell for this - someone would give up being a member of the patriarchy to become a woman. And it’s born out of fear of the unknown, just like any other prejudice, as well as the conditioning over the millennia that gender roles have to stay the way they are or else you’re going to suffer a great deal.

I agree. There is something about a trans woman that really touches on the primal hatred for women that is just below the surface veneer of civilization.
