"Vice President JD Vance is currently leading the disinformation campaign. Meanwhile, the GOP is creating distractions and running interference for Trump. And the king of threats and smears, Donald Trump himself, has been lobbing some doozies."

Search on YouTube is at its worst right now. You type "how to make apple pie," and the algorithm gives you three ads, a viral cat short, and a "For You" video about gaming.
It is what @pluralistic rightly calls enshittification.
I spent the last month refactoring the core script for search fixer. Big improvements:
> A new settings UI that doesn't look like an airplane cockpit.
> Improved anti-shorts protocol: Revert shorts to the normal player.
> Fixed the filters for those annoying auto-generated "mixes" that clutter the results.
> Optional grid view for search.
> Experimental keyword matching.

Do you think that what I say each day on such a variety of topics could come to me if I did not cultivate my mind with learning, or that my mind could bear such a strain if I did not relax it by this same learning?
Indeed I confess that I have devoted myself to these interests. Let others be ashamed who have so buried themselves in books that they can offer nothing for the common enjoyment and can bring nothing forward into the light and the sight of men; but, gentlemen of the jury, why should I be ashamed, I who have lived so long in such a way that leisurely interests have never lured me nor pleasure called me nor sleep kept me from timely service to anyone?
Who, I ask, can censure me on this account, who can rightfully be angry at me, if I take as much time for the pursuit of these studies as is granted others to attend to their interests, to celebrate the festive days of the games, as much time as they devote to other pleasures and the relaxation of mind and body, as much time as others give to early-opening banquets, or even to throwing dice and playing ball?
[An tu existimas aut suppetere nobis posse quod cotidie dicamus in tanta varietate rerum, nisi animos nostros doctrina excolamus, aut ferre animos tantam posse contentionem, nisi eos doctrina eadem relaxemus?
Ego vero fateor me his studiis esse deditum: ceteros pudeat, si qui se ita litteris abdiderunt, ut nihil possint ex his neque ad communem adferre fructum neque in aspectum lucemque proferre: me autem quid pudeat, qui tot annos ita vivo, iudices, ut a nullius umquam me tempore aut commodo aut otium meum abstraxerit aut voluptas avocarit aut denique somnus retardarit?
Qua re quis tandem me reprehendat aut quis mihi iure suscenseat, si, quantum ceteris ad suas res obeundas, quantum ad festos dies ludorum celebrandos, quantum ad alias voluptates et ad ipsam requiem animi et corporis conceditur temporum, quantum alii tribuunt tempestivis conviviis, quantum denique alveolo, quantum pilae, tantum mihi egomet ad haec studia recolenda sumpsero?]
Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
Pro Archia Poeta [For Archia the Poet], ch. 6 / sec. 12-13 (62 BC) [tr. Guinach (1962)]

If I were the TV programmer for reruns of 1960s-1980s gameshows, *as if anyone cares besides me,* I would place the noisy shows like Press Your Luck & Body Language on the daytime schedule. For the evening schedule, the more sedate, classic Password, Tattletales, Classic Concentration, and To Tell the Truth.
A quotation from Bill Watterson
CALVIN: I think nighttime is dark so you can imagine your fears with less distraction.
Bill Watterson (b. 1958) American cartoonist
Calvin and Hobbes (1989-04-23)

🥳🎉 #Rust fanatics have created yet another "production-ready" #key-value #store that no one asked for, complete with a #Raft #consensus and #S3 #API, because who wouldn't want to reinvent the wheel? 🚀🔧 Meanwhile, GitHub's endless list of #buzzwords and AI tools are apparently here to save the world, or at least keep devs distracted from actual problem-solving. 🙃👨💻

While Trump burns America to the ground, he just shut down Epstein Files disclosures because "It's not possible to produce anymore without ending Trump's Presidency"

Weighing distractions to distract from the distractions to distractions... succeeding in distracting from all the grifting in all the distractions.🪆

At this rate, Trump is going to run out of places to bomb by late Spring!
https://thegodlessliberal.blogspot.com/2026/01/us-announces-launch-of-large-scale.html
Donald J. Trump
is a perpetrator
who did such despicable things
that he now has to do everything possible
to distract us all from them.
Always remember, never ever forget:

But happy to have #Colbert back, if only for a few months until he's cancelled.

Anything happen yet this year?
#Epstein Files fully released? #Jan6 plaques installed? #Constitution found?
PLEASE WATCH FIRST 5 minutes or so, at least: ad, then the 'cold opening' (tease) & his monologue, largely on #Venezuela. Then more on the moves of #TrumpVirus the mad Toddler King

January 6 - A Day of Infamy
"Happy" #Jan6
#TRUTH vs. #Distraction - and #madness
👉 Why are we not seeing today's #news dominated by January 6 - #history and lessons?! No mention in U.S. broadcast #media I've seen so far today...
Only threats, invasions, and a clearly mad & delusional wannabe dictator unleashing on the world.
Meanwhile, anyone hear anything about #Epstein, the hemisphere's 2nd most evil person (after #King #TrumpVirus) ?!
Never forget Jan 6 #sedition / #insurrection !!
#Rapist #Trump needs to start wars to distract from #Epstein and the #EpsteinFiles and the fact that the #PedoPresident sent #girls to be raped on #EpsteinIsland pretending to be #HouseCalls to #massage #Epstein - and during his first term was still pals with #Epstein, flew on the #LolitaExpress multiple times. #FuckTrump #Venezuela #Distraction #TheOnlyGoodNaziIsADeadNazi
