And these aren’t just a few social media responses, they’re expressions of a much broader resignation I’m seeing on- and offline: That caring is somehow naive. That documenting the truth is pointless. That hope is for fools.

Let me be clear: It fucking matters. Truth matters. Documentation matters. Fighting corruption matters. That accountability seems out of reach right now doesn’t change that. When we internalize the belief that nothing can change, we stop demanding change. When we accept corruption as normal, we stop fighting it. When we dismiss documentation of wrongdoing as pointless, we give wrongdoers exactly what they want: permission to continue unchecked and with no record of their actions.

I understand the despair in these kinds of responses. We’ve all watched impeachments fail, courts falter, institutions buckle, and politicians repeatedly trade away democracy for their next campaign check. But giving up on the very idea that truth and morality matter is not just cynicism, it’s surrender.

Molly White is spot-on, as always.

I think that was a pretty successful initial pilot. Hope you all liked it.
I’ve got plenty more music to play, and I’ve already been talking to Paul about figuring out ways to get me more bandwidth through a reflector – so we may do this again soon in the future.
I got a few requests for a tracklist, so click through if you want to know what was played. Thanks to all that listened, and thanks to Rogue Amoeba for making such fantastically stable software – didn’t fall over once, and sounded great at 56kbps.
