two from Pool

Pool covers China news and the recent Twitter hack:


Is this the end of the Electoral College?


According to Pool, the disaster he's talking about will happen only if the Democrats sweep the upcoming election and gain carte blanche to fling their dung everywhere. Let's hope that doesn't happen. No: let's make sure that doesn't happen.

ADDENDUM: Styx talks in depth about the Twitter hack, which apparently also included Bitcoin theft. Yes: the supposedly un-hackable Bitcoin can indeed be stolen! All you have to do is craft a scam that persuades people to pay you via Bitcoin. No hacking needed when fools and their money are so easily parted. How can Bitcoin guard against human stupidity?


I'm glad I left social media. Twitter, Facebook—get out while you can.
