  • It makes sense it’s being reported on, since the US federal government did something unusual in these kinds of cases - they sent a government aircraft to return the child. What about this international abduction case is different than others, that this government would take that step?

    It’s like when an immigrant commits a violent crime in a distant state. Why am I learning about it, far away from where it happened, and not more local violent crimes?

    If a lesbian couple in California commits family annihilation, why do I hear about it, and the family annihilation in the same county as I live gets some immediate local news coverage and then…nothing?

    If there are 1000 outstanding international abductions a year, and I hear about two, is there a reason for those two? Are they local? Do they involve celebrities or politicians? Is there something exceptional or weird that catches public nterest?

    Also, this administration lies. Regularly. In ways that have shown up whenever their claims end up in court. By that point, it’s already spread through the news that an ICE agent was attacked with a snow shovel, or the person they shot tried to run them down. So, care is warrented with initial reports involving them.





  • It would probably take a lot of work to make like a wizard for low tech people to use for jailbreaking, right? A relative has brain damage and used to be tech savvy but now gets uneasy about things like that. I could jailbreak it for her, specifically, but I keep thinking about people in her situation who were early adopters of ebooks and would love to keep using the same device but can’t do steps like that anymore.

    Sorry I asked this on your helpful comment! It just made me think of that kindle using relative. I second using that wiki and removing drm from all your books.
