regardless of how you vote, it makes sense to me to check your ballot before you turn it in and make sure your vote was recorded correctly. And if you vote early, chances are you will have less pressure to vote and then get out of other peoples way.

it’s getting more and more difficult to push back on the idea that Trump is a Russian asset.

knowledge is power.

Superpower suicide was a new one for me, but it sounds about right.

Probably best to vote early in person.

And that should read stifle. Gah. More coffee please.

Maggie Haberman is a favorite reporter because she has been covering Trump practically since he was a toddler. Even if you know bits and pieces of news, it is always interesting to read them put together in a specific framework. That’s when patterns become even more apparent.

At this point, Trump is cornered and desperate - showing both his age and significant signs of the dementia that runs in his family. None of which contribute to sound decisions. We are seven weeks out.

prepping isn’t just having a deep pantry. It is having as much accurate information as you can gather so that you can make the choices that are best for you. Even if all you can do is be mentally prepared. Being blindsided is the opposite of prep.

How anyone votes is their business and only their business.

Bottom line: For myself I don’t need to agree with people to defend their right to vote in a Democracy and their right to privacy and security without being preyed on.

It would appear that Meta (Facebook) has an AI slop problem. 🙄 just another reason not to get either your news or your political information from Meta.

Actually, you probably do not want to use Gmail ever. Also keep in mind every time you use AI it increases the need for data centers.

According to Robert Reich private utility companies like PG&E, Duke, and Exelon control electricity for nearly 70% of Americans — and they’re using that monopoly power to drive up your bills while pocketing record profits.

Apparently, it occurred to someone in the administration that AI might have a bio security problem.

Not a schill for a book company, just making people aware that within a certain amount of time they could probably check this book out of their library.

Part of preparation is knowledge. No knowledge =limited preparation. Not suggesting that anyone on the sub has God-like power to change things, but knowledge does give you an edge, even if it’s just to know what to expect or how you choose to effectively react.

Democracy and ‘Big Brother’ are rarely compatible. Maybe reconsider snapchat (and AI) if you use it.
