Just recalled a documentary I saw several years back about Franklin Roosevelt. They had a section talking about how he had polio as a child and they went to great lengths to hide that during his candidacy and subsequent presidency. And significantly, how the media at the time was in on it, and there was an unspoken agreement to just not acknowledge it for fear of making FDR look weak.
There was a historian explaining that who noted that he couldn't imagine something like that happening today.
I think about that a lot when I see MSM *not* talking about Trump's increasingly slurred speech, incoherent rants, and dementia tests that he's not lucid enough to realize aren't IQ tests.

@stefan@stefanbohacek.online I love it, let me know if you need a second pair of eyes.
I'm increasingly of the opinion that a lot of what is keeping critical mass from adopting ActivityPub is not talk of federation or lack of options, but rather that the activation energy (± cost) of starting a community is insurmountable to many.

@julian "marketing the fediverse"
Thinking about writing a version of https://stefanbohacek.com/blog/fediverse-an-overview-for-government-agencies/ that's aimed at (non-right-wing) podcasters with a large following.

Nicole is a delight. Totally chill, but respectful, about the several bears who share her creek. She's letting a salmon go because she doesn't need it today. Knows her plants. Making very few major mistakes, though I don't know about cooking and eating at her shelter when there are numerous bears in sniffing range. She's been lucky, so far. Maybe the bears keep the cougars away and the bears are still well-fed from the creek, but the rules change as winter approaches.
