Gratitude Monday: The wild, wild web

As we head into this new year, I believe that this advice from one of the great 20^th Century role models for smart and self-confident women will serve us well:

So today I’m grateful for the resources of the Internet that allow people to explore a range of views, find information, debunk lies, share ideas and find entertainment.

These resources, in short, that rational and compassionate humans can use to stand up to would-be dictators of all stripes.

Because it's going to be a bumpy, bumpy night. All year long.
