I think if I were as bad at my job as #isu judges, I would ethically not be able to collect my paycheck. The fix has been in all season for Beaudry and Cizeron. Those twizzles in the Europeans didn’t even pass the eye test at full speed, much less in slo-mo.

While judges suffer zero blowback for actively under and over-scoring. If the skaters actually acted in solidarity and all posted their detailed scores, maybe something would change.

Israel burns northern Gaza’s last functioning hospital; patients and staff forcibly removed Isreali military vehicles surrounded the hospital, the Palestinian Health Ministry said, and communications had been cut off.

Israel has burned northern Gaza’s last remaining hospital. And kicked out its patients, including neonatal and ICU patients. I picked a western news source since y’all seem more likely to believe those. I don’t know how else to get people to care.

Are you familiar with the starter pack MAGA block list? It automatically blocks anyone with MAGA or Trump or other Trump indicators in their bio. It’s a godsend.

In Nevada, the GOP is succeeding in throwing out the votes of thousands of young people. If you're in Clark or Washoe county, answer your phone tonight. It may be election officials, calling to cure the defect in your mailed-in ballot.

Can I still write code in X? Yep, glad I don’t do that all the time, but good to know I’ve still got it.

If my plumbing renovations had a soundtrack, they would have that kind of ominous quality. Well done.

That’s my role, and not one to be emulated. What she fails to say is that she made it to deal with the contractors this time - I didn’t have to go and do it myself.

Because she spent the whole time vibrating and stressed instead of pooping.

I feel like we’d hit our heads when the mattress inclined upwards? And we’d need the incline feature to help us stay asleep through the constant nightmares.

Complacency Has Replaced Alarm in the Newest COVID Surge There's a massive surge of the JN1 COVID variant at present, but unlike the early years of the COVID experience, the shared, global alarm and uncertainty have been largely replaced with complacency.

We're in the midst of a historic surge - second highest in the entire Pandemic.

And folks are largely treating it like it's gone.

A lot of people like the added atmosphere records give. I can’t argue with preferences.

Mine just tend more towards sonic purity. Then a deep dive on the outtakes and alternate versions so I can compare and contrast. Like alternate history playing out as music.

The tapes seem to be a bonus/deluxe thing that folks pay *more* for, and I also don’t get it. That tech was blessedly dead by Y2K.

I want bonus tracks of my power metal releases to be fully digital, rather than exclusively part of a box of stuff I don’t want. Asking too much, I guess.

Lossless digital or CD for me. Tapes were the worst of all worlds. I don’t enjoy the added sound of metal scraping along plastic, though.

I got Maris, which explains a lot.

The NYPD is spending $390 million on a new, encrypted radio system The public and news reporters will no longer be able to listen in.

i think it should be a bigger story that NYC’s public libraries are now being forced to close on Sundays due to budget cuts while the NYPD spends 95% of the Library system’s total budget to get new encrypted radios that prevent people from knowing when the cops kill people

I’d be awaiting my murder trial if that happened to me. That’s the best part of the experience.

Ohio Quietly Purges 27,000 Voters From Rolls Ahead of Abortion Vote The anti-abortion Secretary of State Frank LaRose (R) ordered the cancelations before voters decide on Issue 1, which would codify abortion in the state.

Anti-abortion Secretary of State Frank LaRose ordered the purge of 27,000 voter registrations before voters decide on Issue 1, which would codify abortion in the state. People can re-registerβ€”but not in time to vote on the ballot measure. That deadline was Oct. 10.

Reminder that the new COVID shot isn’t just a booster, it’s a new vaccine more effective against more variants. Important to get it and remind friends & family.

@cait.bsky.social can you help boost this?

I work in radio and there’s a nationwide EAS test tomorrow, Wed Oct 4th at 2:20pm EDT.

This will send an audible alert to ALL CELLPHONES. If anyone is hiding a phone from an abuser, TURN IT OFF. Remove the battery if you can. Be careful and stay safe.

Reminder: there's a Nationwide Emergency Alert Test on Wednesday & any phone that's on, even on silent, WILL make a loud sound.

As others have pointed out, sometimes abused individuals keep phones hidden as a lifeline. It's important they know this is coming. Deets: www.msn.com/en-us/news/u...

In my defense, it wasn’t a 5-disc BD set. It was a BD, and 4 DVD copies for friends and family. I wanted to remember everyone who was there, as they were. It’s tough having lost so many friends and family since then, but being able to go back and see them is nice.

One of my better decisions, honestly.
