Today’s ruling is another important reminder that love will overcome.

With any revolution, the establishment catches up and figures out how to screw it up. The answer is to keep technology advancing fast enough so that those who would try to control it can't. It's up to people to defend what they care about. We shouldn't be complacent that this stuff is going to be a force for good.

Against you I will fling myself, unvanquished and unyielding, O Death!
