Huge waves of nostalgia... lifeguarding, working in the record store, highschool, the Go-Gos, the 80s, etc.

Not sure if our Windsor lockdown protests would go for something like that. As much as I want to talk about Zionism and how stupid praying and wishing without action is, we can't alienate folks. But at the big one on the 26th I'm going to speak about the greater context and Agenda 2030.

I had another song in my head the other night that would also be good, but I forgot.

Fuck yeah man, congrats. That's more than I've ever done. I don't talk about Zionism in public that much myself, but I'll rant and rave about fluoride and glyphosate until the cows come home.

Also, don't be so humble. IMO building SaidIt is far more of an important achievement than speaking in front of a few hundred folks a dozen times a year (assuming I follow through and speak at the larger monthly rallies).

Aaron Swartz built it, but I did reclaim it from those bastards at Reddit. Thanks man.

Not sure he built it alone. I wonder if we praise him too much. Maybe not enough. I don't know.

I also don't know how much you did compared to M7's efforts, but the result is still powerful and still here.

Reddit is just kind of a sex toy, but Swartz also planted the seeds of Sci-Hub. For that he may be remembered for all of history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sci-Hub
