It is not your civic duty to follow everything that they do, to get mad at every single thing that they, you know, every single gaffe or awful thing they do. It is not your job to yell about it and get mad at every single little thing because they're going to just keep adding stuff every single day. It's not going to stop. That is how these monsters govern.

It is by distraction and smoke screens and I heard the term flooding the zone, which I think is a sports thing. That's how they govern. It's by just an endless barrage of scandals because by the time anybody can think of anything to do with one scandal, three more have piled on top of it and nobody can even keep up. you don't have to participate in that.

You can choose to focus on what gives you the life that you need and want. You can focus on your own mental health and protection and focus more on the general themes of where we want to go and help people, protect people. You can do all that without paying super attention to every single daily scandal because that's not a happy place for anybody.

That's not what I'm saying, by the way. I think it will affect us just differently.

Yeah, so far, and is going to be donating more. So Jeff Atwood, he blogged under the name Coding Horror for years. He was also one of the co-founders of Stack Overflow. And he is just a super nice guy. He's like a nerd's nerd. Even though I didn't always agree with his blog as he was more Microsoft-y, he's still a really nice guy and a huge nerd like the rest of us.

And he made a bunch of money off of Stack Exchange and has been donating tons of it to lots of good causes and promoting people doing what they can to help out. And so, yeah, special shout out. He's doing some really good stuff recently. So thanks to Jeff Atwood for being awesome. He seems like a genuinely good person. I don't know him well.

Yeah, more people like Jeff Atwood should have a bunch of money because they actually do good things with it.

Yes, so I said in last week's post-show, because there was a news item that BMW's next version of their iDrive system in their cars was not going to support dual-screen carplay. And I was like, huh, I thought my car had really advanced carplay, and it doesn't support dual-screen carplay now. It turns out my car does support dual-screen carplay.
