Hey there
Hope I'm not committing a huge faux pas, but it says this is an open thread. So I have to ask since I haven't seen it mentioned on here yet.
Does anybody know what the hell was going on here on Sunday? I tried all day to get on and my connection just wouldn't go through. Later in the evening, I got a couple connections, but the stories were from April 12. Finally I got something about maintenance, but if there was an announcement about this in advance I missed it.
So was it a planned outage, hack attack, or did we break the site?

Turned out to be something called a cron. JtC was on vacation and trying to fix us up from afar.
He published an essay on it too. I can't find it.
So here's a bonus essay you might like instead if you haven't already seen it.

I wondered if someone at GOS was being a smart ass or something. But it sounds like something that was supposed to do good...... didn't. I Googled what is a cron?

Last night they told me my vote doesn't matter
Oh well, the California primary hasn't made a bit of difference since 1968. That night I was just 13 years old and was very interested in politics, was against the Vietnam War and wanted Eugene McCarthy to win. But my guys never win, so I'm used to it now. I expect it. 1972 was close with McGovern who had a great platform but he wasn't a very good candidate.
I walked to the polls this morning. Five miles both ways. Bern, baby, Bern

It felt good. I'd say he holds a majority in my rural county. Doesn't matter though
That's today's reality. Wanna watch a little historical documentary about our next President from teleSUR?

While this article is from 2015, it gives a good background on one of the many things US Americans are not usually aware of when it comes our military. Since this article was written, the number of countries in which our military in one form or another are present has increased to 147. From American military extends its reach worldwide
Highly Inappropriate:
