Luigi Mangione is a way the ghost of Christmas future. I don't mean that assassinations will become the norm. I mean that a lot of rich people have had a preview of how they are viewed by the public.
Will they be clear-eyed enough to see what the Ebenezer saw? After hearing the way people talked about a then unnamed dead rich guy:
> “Spirit!” said Scrooge, shuddering from head to foot. “I see, I see. The case of this unhappy man might be my own. My life tends that way, now.”

The Democrats believe that people on the left have no other option than to vote for them. They don't seem to wonder about why people stay home because they feel that both parties are the same and that voting doesn't matter.
I am of course on the side of voting for the lesser evil but the Democrats shouldn't just aim for being a bit better than the fascists.

I don't like how many podcast are doing video. Not just because I like listening more than watching (unless video actually adds something concrete). The real problem isn't the video part. It is the #YouTube (and to a lesser extent #Spotify) part.
I don't like podcasts becoming dependent on these corporations. They might experience a level of success in the short term but I think many of them will find out how precarious it is to rely on being featured prominently by those platforms instead of having real subscribers.
Advice for podcasters pivoting to video:
Remember that your podcast feed is still important. Use it. Add a link to the video for each episode, then encourage viewers to use the feed to keep up to date on your videos.

I tend to use #3dPrinting for practical stuff. So when I had installed a new closet and saw that the doors would hit the ceiling light I decided to design and print a new base to mount the light on. Now the closet-door slides safely past the light.
