solarbird is accumulating and posting daily an impressively comprehensive collection of links to articles concerning the present administration's effort to implement a fascist police state. If you find this abhorrent, and would like to better inform yourself, whether to take action or simply to be better prepared to deal with the effects, the link posts are tagged "fascism watch" on LiveJournal and Dreamwitdth.

People who will be much happier if this country resumes moving toward what it could be, rather than what it has become: please help by boosting the signal as far and wide as you can. The more people who read the linked articles, the more prominent they will become in the search engine results. And that's a great way to help flush the fake news back down into the sewer from which it emerged.

Thanks for the praise. Feel free to grab it if you like it.

Are you electronics-savvy enough to have read the secret message unaided? Hover over it if you need help.

I only remember enough from my Novice license studies mumble-some years ago to think that each color is a digit and they give the rating in ohms. Let's see...

All I get is 45±10%(Ω). Does that have a hidden meaning, or is there another reading? If it refers to the popular vote, wasn't it closer than that? I don't remember the elect~~ric~~oral count...or is that the punoint?

45 is correct. The tolerance band, which you read as silver, is gray (+/- 0.05%). That's probably clearer with a real-life resistor, where you could see the sheen on the silver band.

I am using "tolerance" in this context to refer to the actions of the designated administration that I feel I can tolerate. One out of 2000 feels about right, although it might be high given the current baseline.
