I signed up with a new VPS, from EasyVM. I don't know much about them but so far I'm satisfied. I saw a good deal on LowEndBox and decided to go for it.

I used this as an opportunity to try something other than Ubuntu, so I installed AlmaLinux. Ironically, though, I deployed the new website following the instructions, "Deploying Django on a single Debian or Ubuntu server". I found these instructions more broad and more detailed than others I've seen on line. But there are some differences between the instructions and what I actually did.

If I'm not too lazy (what are the chances?), I'll write up a post, and maybe even make a video, of what I did

Right-wing commentators like Dennis Prager and left-wing columnists like Ta-Nehisi Coates have something to agree on: They agree the situation with Israel and Palestine is simple.

But the situation in the Middle East regarding Israel and Palestine is very complex, and denying this truth promotes bigotry and violence no matter which people you're trying to simplify.

My Mastodon friends might say 'Good Riddance', but I have some pages that I administer and losing access to Facebook makes that impossible.

I don't believe that Mr. Clark was afraid of being exposed as an idiot or as having any unpleasant views. Michele Joyce and her opponent would both fight Republican lies about bigotry and economics. Both would work hard to promote Democratic values of fairness and common sense.

I believe the difference is local

I'm working on a CMS app. It's a Django app called tougcomsys and it's at https://github.com/tougshire/tougcomsys

It's not ready for prime-time yet I'll probably continue to cross-post at Wordpress for a while

I'll also put up some posts about how this system works - but for now it's a milestone for me to type this first post

Twelve years ago, Rick Morris ran a disgusting and dishonest smear campaign against Bill Barlow. Today, Emily Brewer's supporters are running disgusting and dishonest smears against Clint Jenkins.

It's important to set the record straight. Clint Jenkins is a devoted father, a veteran, and an upstanding citizen. He supports the law and those who enforce it. He even fought for increased funding for our police, along with other Democrats.
