Newsletter #179: Oh No Someone Hacked Parler

Hello Recompilers,

For updates about the Portland protests, Audrey is still maintaining a blog about what’s going on there.

Reading:

So much is happening, all at once, that it’s easy for my brain to lose track of it all. Was it really only a week or so ago that people stormed the Capitol? Did 2020 even happen? I do know that someone hacked terabytes of video from Parler and released them, and it’s honestly the first time I’ve heard the pronouns she and her used for a high profile hack. I know that gig workers are being excluded from priority vaccine lists and that Amazon is trying to prevent workers from collective bargaining.

I also know that, well, we’re all preppers now. In this article I lay out what I’ve learned about how to get involved in individual and community preparedness while eschewing both the bunker mentality and the rugged frontiersman mentality.
