Knitting/crochet has been good for me. There's something satisfying about making something tangible that you plan out, execute, and then use. I can knit without anything else going on, and it becomes somewhat meditative. Or I can put on a podcast and it's like listening to a friend talk while working on something.

I'm reminded of the tale of the anarchist newspaper in which every one of the dozens of editors, employees and writers was an intelligence agent or informant for a different government.

The important thing is to realize that the IRGC and the Iran’s conventional army, the Artesh, are two different things, the IRGC and the Iranian government are two different things, and the IRGC is making its own moves contrary to the wishes of its political leadership.

Even though I make an effort not to say anything, sometimes I will move my foot to where the brake would be if I were driving and push down with my foot, every time my husband isn't coming to a stop at the same deceleration I would have employed. My husband talks more than myself, and my 'backseat driving' is often more in the form of gestures, flinches, and gasps.
There is an element where I do think my husband is a more dangerous driver but he has said he likes driving and if I tried to become the primary driver it would be insulting.
He's gotten into four accidents that have required body work since we've been together, each one he has been found not at fault, each one I was not in the car with him. My record is 0 accidents. He drives about twice as many miles as I do. He readily admitted that he was spared a fifth accident because a rental company got him a Tesla and it did some nifty accident avoidance on him when he was about to crash someone in the highway.
This is a specific instance, but the data also seems to indicate men are more aggressive drivers. Perhaps you all deserve some backseat driving?
I think some of the indictments we see out of this administration are not for the purpose of getting a verdict, or even for the purpose of wasting time/money, but to get stuff out of the dark and into the air. The SPLC was spending money to support the leaders of organizations they claim to oppose. There's now a document with a summary of the FBI's investigations on a government website for everyone to reference. Information that once would have been a conspiracy theory is now as public as possible.
I think, if donators to SPLC knew ahead of time that their money would be going to "The Imperial Wizard of the United Klans of America" or towards coordinating transportation to the "Unite the Right" rally, they probably would not have made that donation. SPLC characterized these people as informants, but many seem very highly placed. So highly placed, that they are in charge of the organization instead of informing on the organization.
