There is an update on my contact information page. Encrypted chat may now be done through Keybase at https://keybase.io/benfell/chat. Allegedly, this will work even if you don’t have Keybase installed, but I don’t know the full security or privacy ramifications if it you use it this way.

South Carolina
It appears Joe Biden’s so-called “firewall” in South Carolina may have held after all.[1] My guess is that Super Tuesday will be an elimination round, after which voters preferring a so-called “moderate” (meaning maybe just left of Attila the Hun) can no longer split their votes among several candidates.

Elizabeth Warren
I was a total Warren fan when the primary started. I was so excited about her candidacy. Now, I cannot even recognize her. Taking money from billionaires, oil companies, refusing to disclose her funding sources… What happened to you? @ewarren
