50 billionaire families have already poured $600M+ into this year's elections — mostly in support of Trump.

That's only 0.6% of their total wealth. It essentially costs them nothing to drown our democracy in dark money.

Jane Mayer's book Dark Money documents the billionaires spending hundreds of millions to influence politicians, policies, and elections, and to buy politicians outright. Worth reading.

Cool KDE Plasma trick: [Meta] + [v]

You know how you can use [Ctrl] + [v] to paste in place the last thing you copied to the clipboard, right?

A cool and productive-enhancing variant of that available in 's desktop is that, when copying and pasting a lot of different things, you can hold down the [Meta] ("Windows") key and hit [v], and a list of all the elements available on the clipboard will pop up so you can choose what to paste next.

Yes, but as I recall, you need to turn the history feature on first using Win-v, otherwise only the last item remains in memory.
