I'm a big fan of the legend of sleepy hollow on librivox read by Chip

Most fascist dictators start with political opposition and journalists then move onto the scapegoats.

The Man from Earth; low budget sci-fi mostly just people talking in a living room. I like how it plays with expectations about knowledge of history and explores different epistemologies of the supporting characters in their line of questions or how they engage with the core concept.

2021-01-02 Trump on a call with Georgia election officials asked them "All I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have because we won the state."

Not an official act on any planet in this solar system, how is this not a loss for Trump?

My list would #1 the good the bad and the ugly and include the treasure of the Sierra Madre, true grit remake, no country for old men, Ballard of buster scrugs, 3:10 to Yuma remake, Django unchained, blazing saddles, dances with wolves, and tombstone.

ScummVM is my emulator of choice, like ePSXe it runs on phones and opens it up to a bunch of classics

If you don't mind a classic chess. Blitz/bullet/rapid/horde are different styles that don't take as long to learn enough to have fun. Chess puzzles or against the computer are available if you want to keep it strictly single player. Lichess for multiplayer or I like chess tactics pro for puzzles.

Crosswords, there are programs like alphacross that aggregate from other sources to try different puzzles to find ones that aren't too easy or hard.

Driving without a destination or repeatedly passing the same point multiple times is usually how the measure it

They want to imprison homeless instead of house them to exploit them for slave labor. Abolish slavery in prisons and see if they keep outlawing homelessness.

Bullshit cruising or loitering ordinances that should have never been passed would probably be the excuse cops use in many areas

I won't support any streaming service that has a sub+ad tier. Ads with no sub or sub no ads, anything else is incredibly greedy and the same as cable TV.

I find Frank Zappa's opposition to censorship pretty inspiring and hope this trend continues:

"The biggest threat to America today is not communism, it's moving America toward a fascist theocracy, and everything that's happened during the Regan administration is steering us right down that pipe. [...] When you have a government that prefers a certain moral code derived from a certain religion and that moral code turns into legislation to suit one certain religious point of view, and if that code happens to be very very right wing, almost toward Attila the Hun."
