   I heard snippets of US presidential debate on the radio when I went to fetch lunch. Across the pond, Trump’s lies sound more batshit than last time.

   An American colleague once explained to me that his supporters know he’s lying, but they don’t care. They repeat the lies like football chants because they care more about their tribe winning by drowning out opponents than being right.

   If true, that’s not great, because even if Trump loses & goes away his successor will know that works. 😬

   The Associated Press just served me an ad for fake anti-virus. The entire page was taken over, and forwarded to the malicious site, within seconds of opening the news article, every time.

   An ad blocker isn't just something to hide some annoying eyesores, it's a vital layer of security.

   If you have friends or family who might fall for fake AV or "windows technical the department" scams, they *need* an ad blocker. No site they visit can be considered "safe" unless it simply doesn't have ads.
