Basically a deer with a human face. Despite probably being some sort of magical nature spirit, his interests are primarily in technology and politics and science fiction.

A guy who goes to fight an armed mugger is a hero. If he’s carrying a baby with him while he does so he’s an idiot. Take the baby to safety and let someone else do the risky heroics.
The recordings, featuring historic performances by artists such as Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday, have been made freely accessible to the public to “ensure the survival of these cultural materials for future generations to study and enjoy,” according to the Archive.
Which ironically (and predictably) may end up causing those cultural materials to not survive if the music labels win the lawsuit and crush the Internet Archive.
They do great work, but they really need to learn how to choose their fights better. Their archives would be safer if they were less eager to tilt at windmills unnecessarily. Let the EFF do that.
It’s not the only place, but it’s particularly loud and forceful about swinging those views around internationally.
