Another little tip for those who type their emails in emacs (like I
do). Under Option>Multilingual Environment>Toggle Input Method When it asks for "Input method" type tex. Now you can enter Unicode characters by typing their TeX equivalent eg ∀∀∃∃.

Ugh. So, now that only pretty people can make music, you're arguing that only pretty people can run the government? I like the idea of the masks many of the antifa people wear.

Honestly. If Bob Dylan were there it would have been even bigger deal. While May and Trump are acting like scared kids that are having their bully status challenged, the people that organized this concert not only raised money, they also put out a useful message: Don't close the blinds and hide in your house, go out and have fun and live in spite of these risks. Can't pretty people do a good thing? Somewhere in one of those MJ links I saw one of the masked anarchists patching a road before running off into the darkness. There's something wrong with a world where fixing something for others must be treated with suspicion.

Heh, yeah, I agree. I'm just poking. But this goes back to the other thread re: individual intellect vs. the hive mind. Perhaps these kids _know_ that they are sacrificable, largely homogenous, cells in a large organism? I know my own tolerance to risk was lowered with my cancer diagnosis. I am not important. When I die, few will notice, even fewer will care. So, I may as well have some fun until that time. The bad guys can kill 7, or 48, or 3000 of us. But they can't kill the organism. Those of us who put a lot of stock in "great people" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Man_theory), minds, and contributions of individuals, regardless of how pretty or brilliant, cannot fundamentally believe that we're all sacrificable. They cannot believe in the collective. The mythos surrounding the shoe elves that come in the night to help the cobbler is resurging, thanks be to our lord Lucifer.

I noticed some but not all of those organizations take Bitcoin.
Clear thinking sympathetic people shouldn't contribute without employing a tumbler. Plainly this is just a step or two away from trouble.

Or, better yet, donate with a traceable transaction chain. We're not anonymous because we're literally anonymous. We're anonymous because we are legion.

Maybe I traced out some of those links farther than you did. Like say the brothers & sisters down in South Dallas. :-)

There's no maybe about that. While my friends were counterprotesting on Sunday, I was mowing the lawn and quaffing lager like a good provincial. Just don't go tracing contributions to sci-hub ...

As Commander Fred says in Handmaid's Tail, "Better never means better for everyone. It always means worse for some." (The context of this discussion is key.)
