No-Gutenberg
I was forced to use the new WordPress editor for a bit again and goddamn it is a piece of crap. It’s impossible to do anything and even basic text editing is terrible. Copy and paste somehow doesn’t even work reliably, which is something that for most applications was solved in the 1980s.
It’s absolutely insane that someone released this. And of course it has its cheerleaders that claim that if you don’t want to use this utterly-broken mess that you “just hate change.”
Yes, I do fucking hate change that harms me, thank you very much.
Eps
I don’t care about the Epstein affair overly much. Not because I don’t think it was all evil and wrong. It was. And not because I don’t think any women harmed deserve justice and recompense. They do.
But I think the focus on it is irrelevant for a few reasons. The first is that I just kind of assumed this is what a lot of the elites were up to, so it’s not any sort of surprise. The second is that it’s a deliberate distraction, for both sides. The 24/7 Epstein show shifts focus from substantive and consequential issues that the panjandrums would rather you not pay attention to. This is intentional. The third reason I don’t care much about the whole thing is that there’ll never be any real accountability for what happened. The evidence is just not there in a way that is prosecutable, and likely never will be.
It’s a crime, but it’s normal crime for those types. It matters little to the fate of our nation and the world, which is where we should be placing our attentions now.
I didn't realize my LG TV was spying on me until I turned off this setting.
