The Register: Firefox now defaults to DNS-over-HTTPS for US netizens and some are dischuffed about this: Good for privacy – or an alarming move towards further internet centralization?
Also, governments and ISPs are concerned that DSN-over-HTTPS will make it harder to filter Internet traffic. That’s actually a plus, unless you need the government or your ISP telling you what you’re not allowed to look at.

Cory Doctorow: A Flat Earther commits suicide by conspiracy theory
“Mad Mike” Hughes crashed a homemade rocket he intended to ride to prove the Earth is flat.
Belief in crazy conspiracy theories is pandemic today because so many crazy conspiracies are real: climate change denialism, the opioid epidemic, Jeffrey Epstein’s pedo ring, etc.

Why do people listen to #NeverTrump Republicans lecturing Democrats on how the Democrats are on a path to failure beating Trump?
#NeverTrumpers know nothing about beating Trump, and have nothing to contribute to that conversation.
If #NeverTrumpers knew how to beat Trump THEY WOULD HAVE DONE IT.
A San Diego family cloned their dog for $50,000
“Marley,” a golden retriever, saved owner Alicia Tschirhart’s life while she was pregnant, five years ago, by jumping between her and a rattlesnake; Marley died a few months later of heart cancer. Now the Tschirharts have “Ziggy,” a 10-month-old pup, who is Marley’s clone.
Sorry, Minnie. When you go, we’re not spending $50 large to clone you. If it makes you feel any better, I’m not being cloned after I go either.

I support Sanders. My first choice is Warren, but he’s a close second.
And I’m glad to see the Republicans turn on him now, and I hope to see his Democratic rivals turn on the heat too.
Not just about his visiting Russia in 1988 and being a socialist (which he’s not), because those things are old news.
I want Sanders' opponents to dig up dirt on him now. All of it. And shout it loud.
Because if he’s vulnerable, let’s find out now, while there are still alternatives.
I don’t know if Sanders can beat Trump. But right now it looks like he’s got a better shot than any other Democrat, because those guys don’t even seem to be able to beat Sanders.
