I tell you what, when you try and tell this story you either sum it up in ten minutes with the broadest strokes or you settle in for a rabbit hole made entirely out of onions and ogres. Conspiracy theorists flock together and constantly try and rope each other into the orbit of their personal hobby horse conspiracy, so once you break the surface suddenly you're digging through endless side stories, each with their own cast of characters, trying to figure out if some tertiary claim is true, was maybe true in the past but is no longer true, or was never true, and discover that the only sources on the matter are the same three people quoting each other in an endless circle of false legitimacy.

Feinstein suddenly became the mayor of San Francisco when two other officials were assassinated. Later she was elected to the U.S. Senate after male senators grilled Anita Hill in public hearings.

Oddly, I don't feel disgusted about having a robust list of blocked users, communities, and domains on the fediverse.

Shout out to Paint.net! Great software, but it's almost 20 years old and still doesn't have an Autosave feature. The forums are full of people begging for this feature for years and they still haven't added one. Their response is the classic "you should save more often."

I've started using LibreOffice and it likes to crash on my PC pretty regularly. It's kind of a pain to have to re-open my document every half hour, but it never fails to recover exactly where I left off.

Anyway. Autosave. Good feature.
