It's good timing that I've been learning Docker to run Jellyfin and *arr. Guess I'll look into throwing matrix or mattermost on there now, too.

"Sources and methods"

Easily the hardest of the 3. And you're right, they're all very different games from each other.

The chuds at the top (most of them, anyways) know that this will likely lead to ww3, and that's been the plan. The US is the preeminent military power, so they feel safe, and there's a shit load of money to be made in war and instability.

The chuds at the bottom voting for US isolationism don't understand just how much an interconnected world benefits them and how bad dedollarization is going to be for them. But then that goes along with a lot of people not understanding the benefits of concepts like soft power, humanitarian aid, foreign assistance, etc.

I bought my Mazda 3 used. The captain's knob will be sorely missed if I ever get a different car.

While you're right, I'm not even that pessimistic about community notes. The big issue I see is time. How many impressions is something going to get before the community notes pop up? 10,000? 100,000?

A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.

Correct. He listed 14 people, and then:

grant a full, complete and unconditional pardon to all other individuals convicted of offenses related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021;

Yes, the president has broad and basically unchallengeable pardon powers, and could do exactly that. The check against it is supposed to be Congress being willing to impeach and remove.

Nope. He specifically listed 14 people, but then just broadly pardoned the remaining people.

grant a full, complete and unconditional pardon to all other individuals convicted of offenses related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021;

Rumor has it that he got frustrated with going through whatever determination process they were doing and said "fuck it. Release them all"
