The bigger issue here is the conflation of the Venezuelan government with "cartels".

I missed this milestone - over 10,000 nights of acts at DNA Lounge in San Francisco (dnalounge.com) are now mirrored at the Internet Archive:

That's not shows - that's ACTS. Sometimes there are 3-4 acts a night. This is an incredible slice of live music.

Had a flashback to Thanksgiving 59 years ago, when my parents somehow had 4 dancers from the Ukrainian State Dance Company join us. The (age 20ish) lead dancers just wanted to listen to the Beatles and (especially) the Troggs record of "Wild Thing".

Today I can't help but remember the first spambot. It was named Serdar Argic and coded by Ahmet Cosar in 1993. For months if you used the word "turkey" in any UseNet post you would be "treated" to a lengthy diatribe denying that the Armenian Genocide happened.
Happy turkey day!

The State Farm "Bateman/Batman" commercials crack me up. I knew a mortician whose name was spelled Bateman but pronounced Batman. so his funeral home was "Bat(e)man's Little Chapel of the Chimes".

"Assume everyone I interact with online is struggling with their mental health" has only become a more important guiding principle in the past couple years
My personal guidelines for dealing with people on social media:
Assume everyone is a friend you haven't yet gotten to know.
Assume everyone is struggling with their mental health
Don't promise any emotional labor you might not be able to provide
If someone seems like a hater, disengage right away
