A federal tool to identify noncitizens on voter rolls keeps making mistakes.
“This is not ready for prime time,” a county clerk in Missouri said. “And I’m not going to risk the security and the constitutional rights of my voters for bad data.”

A Commodore 64 Ultimate on a BBS. The text is all blue and spanning multiple lines
Got on @kirkman.bsky.social 's ANSI BBS from my Commodore 64 Ultimate and let's just say 40 columns is not enough for anybody ...
Praying for Eduard Löwen after the death of his wife, Ilona.
From an interview before this season: "Jesus is my greatest treasure because he is enough. ... I know he will be there to pick me up ... and that's why I can still remain joyful."

Wow! There’s more than a passing resemblance to Pit Term from 1991.

Screenshot shows the splash page for Josh Renaud's old personal website circa 2002.
I started my first personal homepage ("GrossWorld") with Angelfire in 1998-99. After a couple years, I moved my website to joshrenaud.com, and I changed my Angelfire site to (mostly) just a redirect. But I never killed it, and kept it online the past couple decades.
Screenshot of Lycos homepage shows the following message: "To our users of Angelfire and Tripod. We apologize for the service interruptions. Unfortunately we will be shutting down in the next 30 days. Please move your hosting to another host as soon as possible."
Pour one out for Angelfire.

a 3x3 grid of thumbnail images shows blocky images, often composed of typographical symbols, depicting animals, people, a graffiti tag, a tea service and a talking class of frothy beer. (As one does.)
Mistigram: aside from some computer music, nearly everything in the new, unthemed MIST0226 artpack that just dropped is some form or another of #textart and #textmode art - here is a sampling of specimens of #ASCIIart, #ANSIart, #ATASCII, #PETSCII and #ShiftJIS contained therein.
Just hit send on my last-minute submission.

People will tell you now the Amiga won the 16-bit generation. But the Amiga launch was a disaster and the one you were supposed to buy didn't arrive for 2 years.
Here's what really happened.

Important detail about transparency in @blytheb.bsky.social's story about St. Louis Public Schools today: "... the district hasn't posted a monthly check register since September."

Credit where it's due — the City of St. Louis fulfilled our annual request for pay data in _17_ days this year. That is a significantly faster than the 100-150 days they've taken the previous few years.
However, they excluded SLMPD from the data, citing the transfer to state control.
Good morning from the St. Louis Riverfront Trail. Lots of work being done on the river, the rails and the scrapyards.
Ran into the turkey family again for the first time in several months. They have really grown up since last year.
Just a little further down, I noticed two figures in the mist: probably coyotes. Unfortunately I didn't stop and get the camera rolling until they had crossed the trail and run close to the tree line.

St. Louis Police Department leaders and police union officials have been hashing out a new rulebook for officer conduct after the state takeover of the department.
The number of times I would be the only person at a government meeting, or dragging my ass out to cover an event or crime scene after hours for fuck all pay. Local reporters and news outlets are a public service and should be treated as such
Another rough technical outing from AppleTV with the City SC broadcast ... a lot of weird microphone sounds, and then the whole thing just cut out during the postgame show.

One worthy cause is the Ronald Wade journalism scholarship for minority students, via the St. Louis Press Club. Ron Wade was the Sunday editor at the P-D for many years, and I worked closely with him on the night desk.

Biked to work again today, and saw there has been some cleanup along the Riverfront Trail since last week.
But many tire piles and dump piles remain — though some may be on private land.
