This seems a helluva week!

We someone narrowly averted a government shutdown, so there's that.

The rise of extremist content I see on Lemmy makes me wonder how safe it is to be here - am I going to go onto some kind of list even if I participate merely by arguing against it? It's making me seriously nervous.

Oh yeah, and it's Christmas!⛄

I REALLY hope that we don't. But... https://theintercept.com/2024/12/18/trump-fisa-surveillance-spying/ does so make me worry.

Then again, perhaps I shouldn't, for the simple reason that e.g. if being woke is a crime then I'd rather face the music than get off scott-free? :-P
