It's time to find out who my neighbors really are, as all the stores have cups and mugs wishing "happy holidays" and "season's greetings," but none or next to none wishing a "merry Christmas."

Henry Kissinger 

I will not celebrate the man's death.

Instead, I am mourning the lives of all the people he ruined, destroyed, and ended, and I will celebrate the end of his ability to remain unrepentant in his deeds.

I am sad he died, but I am glad the undeserved time he stole finally ran out.

Please, friends, don't use his grave as a dance floor. If you do, then wear gloves and clean your shoes, because your fellows are using his grave as a urinal.

I follow a lot of trans and non-binary people, but most of you are young and I am older... Where are all the older (40+) people who are trans and non-binary?

New: Firefox users have reported an "artificial" 5-second delay when they try to load YouTube videos that is magically fixed if they use Chrome, which has been going viral in a few different places. I asked Google what is going on. They

1) Didn't deny the artificial wait time is happening
2) Said it's part of its war on ad blockers, not targeted at Firefox

Mozilla also told me no indication this is targeted at Firefox
