I fully support his being eligible to vote, regardless of past convictions, even if they were for treasonous, seditious behavior.

He should not be eligible to run for office.

Convicted felons should be eligible to vote, whether in prison or not, because as you said, anyone still affected by politics should have a voice. This also includes children, undocumented immigrants, and resident aliens. Anyone living here is impacted by the choices of our representatives and should therefore be able to vote for those representatives. Physical presence should be the only requirement.

And the follow-up: Texas, Missouri judges deny requests to block DOJ from sending poll monitors

Staying busy and avoiding news. It’s highly likely that it won’t be decisive, and we don’t need to feed the relentless hysterical coverage machine of media corporations.

As an outside observer, it seems perfectly clear that he has no intent to see any more hostages returned alive.

Officials in Florida and Texas have said they won’t allow federal election monitors into polling sites on Tuesday. And on Monday, Missouri filed a federal lawsuit seeking a court order to block federal officials from observing inside polling places. 

The Justice Department announced last week that it’s deploying election monitors in 86 jurisdictions across 27 states on Election Day. The Justice Department declined to comment on Monday on the Missouri lawsuit and the moves by other Republican-led states.

So, not being blocked yet, just announcing that they will try. How much do you want to bet that this is grandstanding by the state AGs? When the feds rock up to the volunteer county election officials with federal court orders to monitor polling and counting, you think the locals will refuse, in the face of felony charges? A few may, like that Kentucky county clerk who tried denying gay couples a marriage license post-Obergefell, but most won’t, despite what their state AG says, because they know they will be the ones facing charges, not the AGs.

The Election Research Institute is led by Heather Honey…

Based on their website, I’m pretty sure the Election Research Institute is Heather Honey.

“If your husband is mad at this ad, then this ad was made for you.”

Property manager, maybe? You don’t get fired from being a landlord, you sell the property.

He says the situation has been "blown out of proportion" and is "so bogus."

Is this what happened to Bill S. Preston, Esq.?

XKCD

You can wishlist it on Steam! The developer says he has been playtesting it on the Deck, too.

I don’t know about apps, but they ultimately all get it from the National Weather Service. Since it’s a government service, the website is totally free of ads and other garbage. Just use that. Weather.gov. You can search for your home, and since it uses absolute URLs, you can then bookmark the results page and just go straight to that every time.

Project 2025 wants to disband NOAA and give its functions to Accuweather instead, directing taxpayer funding to a private company while also locking all weather data behind a paywall, so they get paid twice to provide the same info NOAA currently provides with a single payment (taxpayer funding). The Accuweather founder, Joel Myers, and his brother, Billy Lee Myers (unsuccessfully nominated by Trump to be the head of NOAA), are major Republican donors, but I’m sure that is completely coincidental.

I guess it really got under Steve Hoffman’s skin.

Ok, hear me out. The hull number is for the USS Enterprise (CVN-65), which was deactivated in 2012. After that, instead of decommissioning, Elon Musk decides he needs a private military and hires Erik Prince to set it up. He buys the still-intact Enterprise, gets it modified the way he wants it, and sends it to Brazil to force X/Twitter back into service there. Full of Blackwater/Xe mercenaries, meth and coke are distributed to all personnel as daily rations. Fueled by the success of their first mission (and lots of drugs and alcohol), the bastard craft took to the high seas. It resembled a mobile party now, but a heavily-armed party. They looted, they raided, they held whole cities to ransom for fresh supplies of cheese, crackers, guacamole, spare ribs and wine and spirits that now get piped aboard from floating tankers.

Well, that leaves Willie, last of The Highwaymen.

Why “Be Better” when you can “be BEST”? Being better is for quitters!

And that was in her graduate thesis! Also, she used Annie Jump Cannon’s stellar classification work to develop her theory.

I feel like a broken record reminding people that the TAO (Tailored Access Operations, now Computer Network Operations), part of the NSA, has been doing this for 20 years. Except they implant spyware instead of explosives. Probably.

They going to tear open the battery while they are at it? It’s not like there’s going to be a small lump labeled “RDX” with wires sticking out of it.

While they’re at it, why not incorporate the explosive into the body of the device? Has no one else seen Up in Smoke?

The pagers that detonated were the latest model brought in by Hezbollah in recent months, three security sources said.

I wonder if Israel has a unit similar to the NSA’s TAO (tailored access operations) where they inserted people into the manufacturing plant to tamper with devices before they even left the factory.
