- I recently purchased a new iPad Mini. I still use my 2018 iPad Pro (I’m writing this post on it), but I had some use cases that the iPad Pro would not accommodate. I wanted to be able to throw this in a sling bag and still have room for other stuff, I wanted to use it instead of my phone, and I wanted to be able to have something light and not bulky to use as an e-reader. Turns out that I can use Lightroom on this for photo editing. It’s also possible I can use it for light video editing with something like Premiere Rush, or DaVinci Resolve.
- I’m sitting here watching as much as I can stomach of the protests outside today’s Takeover. You are watching the consolidation of power by the executive. As I said yesterday, no one could have voted for this. Unfortunately, all that’s going to happen is a lot of talk from the Dems. They haven’t the slightest idea how to fight this, because the party elders still believe you can play by the rules against an adversary who wipes their ass with them.

Rethinking The News
From Wajahat Ali’s Twitter:
Right-wing take over of Politico and CNN, plus mainstream outlets like CBS News and others actively courting Trumpers and pulling their punches for sake of GOP “access” reveals everything terrible about mainstream media and its normalization of fascism. It’s going to get worse.
…
Last year, a producer told me how low the bar had become for conservative voices on TV. They had to 1) Accept Biden won the election and 2) Not support white supremacy or be overtly white supremacist. It was very difficult to find these voices.
Mainstream media outlets like those listed above aren’t moving rightward, but they are normalizing “bothsides-ism”. That’s the problem; there aren’t both sides to be had here if you’re a sane person. Anyone who insists that there are both sides to this issue either doesn’t get it or is paid not to.
