For the final voting to elect someone in Colorado we have mail-in and drop-off ballots so no need to even go in on the day of. But as I understand it she's currently participating in the party's meetings to choose the candidates that can run and then end up on that final ballot.
Yup.
It sucks.
a four-panel stick-figure cartoon panel one: three standing figures. from left to right, a guy wearing a necktie looking at his phone, an angry MAGA guy yelling FUCK YOUR FUCKIN POST FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU, and a rando just standing there like an NPC. panel two: the guy looking at his phone shows MAGA guy his hand, causing MAGA to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where fuckface once was. a green-bordered in-game message appears, reading "+2 Mental Health." now the rando is suddenly interested. panel three: as our man continues doom-scrolling, a sly grin on his face, the rando on the right puts on a punch-me face and snarls: "Typical lefty, blocking everyone who disagrees with-" panel four phone guy shows the hand to punch-me face, causing the rando to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where that dickhead was. a green-bordered in-game message appears again, reading "+2 Mental Health."
Same! They just randomly signed me up when I moved and I keep unsubcribing and still getting messages.

Independent artists and publishers going to ECCC: if you're interested in selling leftover things to us at wholesale prices so you don't have to haul them back, send us an email! We aren't open Sunday night / Monday to the public but we can figure things out if your stuff fits our vibe!
6) people talk about “ground troops” on the news like they could be suddenly conjured up out of nowhere. In reality, it takes planning, logistics, and time for them to be an option, even assuming you have a clear objective for them.
I can't add to my scheduled thread but it's been A MINUTE since we had a Mystery Misprint box, but I'M BACK! Only one thing in here is actually a misprint, the rest is just Stuff That Is The Wrong Color/Seasonal!
These tend to go fast!

There used to be an old sign by the path, warning passers-by of the local sleeping willow, which would trap the unwary with fatigue, engulf them while they slept, and release them a hundred years later.
There was a new sign:
"This sleeping willow is full."
And a map of other locations to try.
Indeed there seems to be a problem with the book section of Amazon (at least) and sale links don't seem to work. I'm sure this will be fixed reasonably soon, and in the meantime, a reminder that Amazon is but one retailer, and my books are available many other places, including your local bookstore.
Even after multiple rounds they want to pay ~30% less than the current contract.
If you’re a @bcbsm.bsky.social patient, especially if you receive care through Michigan Medicine, you should be asking where your $ is going.
Because it’s not going to the people caring for you.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

3 coasters in a light green and dark purple, all in different intricate designs that look like stained glass except opaque. people call these the Beetlejuice coasters
a view from the top, showing off the designs! They're all vaguely symmetrical snowflake styles, with black lines and painted in purple, green, and white.
this set is PURPLES... a dark shimmery purple and a light lavender
all three of them next to a coaster holder that comes with them

I get asked to show up to book clubs, online and offline. Here is why from now on the answer is always "no." If you think this might have something to do with "AI" ruining yet another thing for everyone, you're absolutely 100% correct.

Sometimes I think about how it was perfectly okay that my mom took my brother out of school to go on the Great Peace March and how no one said anything about it. Just, okay, well, I guess that's a thing to do.

A little bit louder for the folks in the back: The closed areas around an active volcano are closed for very good reasons. They are based on risk assessment and the likelihood of death/injury. Ignoring them can put you, your friends, your family, and rescue personal in just as much danger.

An image with several smaller illustrations of my gray and black sea cow character, Umiko, against a soft blue background. She is a manatee with a face and tummy like a cow’s, and horns on her head. The various illustrations show her swimming around and enjoying sea grass, as well as her loving her tiny manatee child, who is just as round as she is. She is so rotund…

I'm celebrating half a century on this planet today and it's also #WorldWildlifeDay. I know there's a lot of darkness, but the world is still full of so much beauty. Let's celebrate it by sharing our favourite wildlife photos.

Mystery Solved! Turns out it is "Webinar.tv" whose disgusting and unethical business model is: register for a zoom call under a fake name and email address, record it without consent and put it on a public website with genAI summary and everyone's names and faces and then charge for access. WTAF.
I grew up in Oregon. This plan to clear cut Oregon's old growth forests is terrible in multiple ways. This article gives info on the situation and also where/how you can submit a comment to the BLM. Comment period closes March 23.

I block people who are annoying in OTHER people’s replies. It’s a hobby at this point. Block hunting.
