Twitter has been systematically silencing voices on the right that apparently someone in their org disagrees with. Twitter is a political machine, and you'll see it used more and more in this way...

Does anyone remember the unemployment rate dropping just before the 2012 Presidential election (and then rising again immediately afterwards)? These numbers can't be trusted, and are nothing more than a tool for party control of gover

Thanks -- and good point. From an RPG perspective, the (virtual) filesystem was the environment to explore, with non-directory files being the objects and enemies that you'll encounter. Shell commands are the actions over those direc
