Someone ought to step in and correct that, even if it means artificial suicide.

They should be afraid. They should feel fear.

Well, also EC is winner take all except in NE and ME. That’s probably a bigger impact.

Doesn’t matter, does it?

EC gives more weight to lower population states, because the number of electors is the number of Representatives plus the number of Senators.

Which itself was appeasement to the slave states to get them to ratify the Constitution.

They’re going to have ChatGPT review the applications, so why not?

That hardly seems like it’s worth getting upset about.

This might feel useless, because it is, but it’s the only thing left before the inevitable, and it must be done, even in the face of futility.

In the meantime, arm yourself.

Even when the galaxies do collide, the number of stars passing close enough to each other to disturb any planetary systems is zero.

If you’re rich enough, everything is legal.

 

We’re excited to announce our newest innovation in trailer security… The Guard Goose 3000! 🦢💨 After years of research, we’ve discovered that a highly trained attack goose is the most effective theft deterrent. Not only do they honk aggressively at intruders, but they’ll also chase them at speeds up to 20 mph! No batteries, no wiring—just pure honking power. Pre-orders start today… if you can handle the honks. 😂 Monthly service fees required of $3000 for the lifetime of the Guard Goose 3000

 

The Republican Office of New Mexico's headquarters in Albuquerque was intentionally set on fire in an act of arson.

If you know something about how this happened, no you don't.

 
 

Trump supporter Rick Fuze was arrested in Berkeley for using a stun gun on peaceful protesters outside a Tesla dealership. Fuze claimed they were paid protesters and he went there to show his support for Musk and DOGE.

Whatever you think about the specific acts being charged here, there are plenty of lessons to learn.

There are cameras everywhere, and some of them are connected to license plate readers.

 

ACLU has a web form for submitting comments on this document:

https://www.regulations.gov/document/DOS/_FRDOC/_0001-6771

The offending part of that document:

To comply with E.O. 14168, “ Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government,” the Department updated the form to replace the term “gender” with “sex.” The U.S. Passport conforms with the standards set by the E.O. and the International Civil Aviation Organization, which among other things determine the various fields on the passport's biographical data page. Consistent with the E.O., the revised DS-11 will request the applicant's biological sex at birth, male “M” or female “F.” Amendments to the fields and instructions (section 3) have been made to reflect this.

If you’re concerned about having your name on record, you can submit comments anonymously on the federal register website: Application For Passport (DS-11), Renewal Application (DS-82), and Replacement, name change, correction (DS-5504).

Stand up, indeed.

Not entirely "new," and not mine - but there was some interest in such a thing expressed over the weekend.

That is all.

 

This place came up in conversation over the weekend. I'd made a similar thing back when kbin.social existed. It didn't take off at all then, and went down with the ship.

That was well over a year ago now, and the landscape has changed (in oh so many ways). Seems like a good time to jumpstart something like this again, and so ... here I am.

Automod? (fedia.io)
 

Wondering if anyone has had success with an automod. This one was brought to my attention, which I'm told "should work," but I would be interested to know other people's experiences.

 

Government employees fight the Trump administration’s chaos by organizing and publishing information on Bluesky

 

When Arlo was a little puppy, he would sit like this, with one hind leg kicked way out to the side. I started coming over and saying "CHICKEN LEG" and then grabbing the top part of that leg and giving it a few squeezes.

He still sits like this. I still squeeze the chicken leg.
