William Henry Harrison should not be rated as a bad president, he should be the bar we rate the rest on.
  • When I read that article, my assumption was that people rated all the presidents whose name they recognized and then they just filled in the rest. Your point is valid and I agree with the idea but it requires that people know the policies and impact of each president.

  • The three million toothbrush botnet story isn’t true.
  • I suspect you would enjoy the story of Furbeowulf.

  • GOP anti-Trump group launches TV ad comparing Trump to infamous dictators
  • I believe they are pointing out that, despite the fact that this is being done by a group that is trying to make Trump look bad, it will be viewed as making him look good to those on the far right. They like dictators so long as they're part of the in-group.

  • Appeals Court Spanks Mark Meadows In A Way That Could Hurt Trump, Too
  • They said he couldn't move the Georgia RICO case to federal court, making it less likely that any other defendant will be able to, either. It can still go to the Supreme Court which may change things. Saved you a click.

  • Aaaaand, Satanic Altar Vandalized
  • "I am calling for clarifying legislation to be adopted in accordance with our State Constitution that prohibits satanic displays in our Capitol building and on all state owned property. I am calling for legislation to be adopted that makes it legal to display the Ten Commandments in our Capitol, in all buildings owned by the state, and in our public schools."

    That a single, continuous quote from a state representative. In two back-to-back sentences, they said that the religious display is unconstitutional and it should be legal to have a religious display. Amazing.

  • Blocking app access to the internet
  • It can't be used with ProtonVPN (I assume) but I use NoRoot Firewall for exactly this purpose. It works by setting up a VPN and letting you enable / disable network access for each app, including system apps. It can also block on just WiFi or just cell data or both or neither. It blocks all apps by default until you configure their access. You can also setup more advanced rules for all apps or just some apps. For instance, you can set it where an app can contact AppCompany.com but not Google.com

  • I don't know how to cross-post

    I found this on a walk today. It was leaning up against a very tall hedge bush. The bottom is flat and angled so I assume somebody cut it off and then just left it there. I cut off and then sanded down all the little rough spiky parts that hurt my hands. I think I'm going to use it to clean my gutters.
