You are wise not to have tried to post a column on your phone. What this tells us is that you are not compulsive.

We will all wait.

We shall all wait patiently for your words of wisdom, Lucian.

Our computers are working. While the cat's away, should the mice play? Even to someone who has never seen Tucker Carlson, Tulsi's Santos interview last night on Tucker's show was of note. Santos did not look happy. Are the Murdochs throwing him overboard too?

Tulsi cannot decide who she is! So bizarre.

My thought too. Her posture was totally unexpected.

Remember. Murdoch is now anti-TFG.

here in off-grid hawai'i, our only internet provider choices are AT&T (currently not working as the sole tower responsible for serving about 40 sq. miles of our big island is "out of service at this time") or starlink® (we call it "spanky-link"; like it's owner, it enjoys a checkered reputation.) please accept our sympathy and commiseration, braddah.

Write what you would've posted, and let it marinate overnight. I've always found that the morning's cold coffee from yesterday sometimes tastes better than fresh brewed. Sometimes we blast through in a single sitting with a riff that says it all. Most other times, I've discovered that what I've written on Tuesday invariably reads better on Wednesday, after I've tweaked it a bit. And the gaps in the logic might take you into Thursday before you actually see them.

Yeah I found that out about my (french press) coffee. But also I tend to add milk and maybe stevia

sweetener so that could overpower the overall taste anyway.

"We" are much too dependent on the internet, nothing new about that claim, as various massive breaches and scams and malware have demonstrated. Remember a huge tranche of military active service and vets info held by DoD in connection, I believe, with medical records was ripped off, also Experian had millions of records stolen and just now is paying out some multimillon $$ settlement, something like $6.00 per injured party. God only knows what happens if

critical energy infrastructure controls could be accessed by malevolent actors/foreign powers.

Supposedly, allegedly, the people who shot at sub-stations in N.C. and Washington state are some kind of domestic wingnuts, the type being sent to prison for the Gov. Whitmer plot and Jan. 6. But what if you could breach more directly via internet? Maybe those potential targets have much better security against online attacks?

The attacks on the substations are VERY concerning to me. I feel like these are "dry-runs" to see who is paying attention and how much they can get away with. Here's an article by not-my-favorite-person, but it does lay out all of the information:
