i hope one day to see a history textbook entry about the ukraine hit on russian data centers having been proven to have a positive effect in quelling right wing bots that results in overwhelming democratic wins in the US 2026 midterm elections.

saw where another asshat said "video games are made for men" makes me want to smack him upside the head with my copy of king's quest iv and tell him my grandma was a gamer since his parents were babies. she introduced me to her atari in 1979 my pong console says that guy is a whiny baby gamer

Dinnertime for the relocated colony kitties with @elizaruffing.bsky.social. They were relocated from an unsafe parking lot a few years ago and are all neutered, vetted, & vaccinated. They have their own little house but mostly still prefer their private yard. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yl9q...

i get why the pharmacist looks at me funny and asks me 3x if i am SURE i want to get my covid and flu shots the same day. the fallout is rough. however, either of them alone still hits almost as hard, it's just me. might as well take 2 days of slightly worse downtime than 4 still bad ones.

i swear the early voting places in my county used to number somewhere around 50. right now there are 18 listed. the smaller cities/townships each only have one. also the early voting time window is shorter. voter supression by attrition of access.

Important: the USPS rule that SCOTUS blocked tonight was Trump’s big plan to control and restrict mail voting. But a separate policy remains in place: USPS is no longer postmarking mail as soon it gets it, which is hugely important for deadlines. So people must mail back with plenty of time.

In an Intense Election Year, New Post Office Rules Could Trip Up Voter Registration - Bolts
A change in how mail is postmarked could lead some voters to miss key deadlines, including voter registration. Advocates worry the people most affected will be those already facing voting barriers.

interesting (and loud) night. that's not a dog. i live over the river and through the woods. don't worry, the little bandit got down from there just fine.
security camera screen capture image at night but in full color. the play slider on the bottom indicates this was captured 30 seconds into a one minute 38 second video. it's a somewhat blurry action moment of a coyote and a raccoon lunging at each other on my front doorstep. in the background is green grass and darkness to the right and the "go away green" house siding on the left. the raccoon is in an upright position and is almost all blur except for his little black mask around his eye. the coyote is a blonde color and has just stepped all the way onto the concrete front step. security camera screen capture image of a raccoon clinging to an off white square metal drain pipe under the eaves of the house. he has climbed into the gap where the pipe angles down from the gutter at the edge of the roof before it continues down the green wall behind him. the pan and tilt control markings show on the screen as i had to tilt the camera up from its usual position. the raccoon is looking down at the front step of the housenighttime full color security camera screen capture of the concrete front step of a house, including the concrete sidewalk to the right of the image, and a black rubber ramp from the step to the sidewalk. in the center background of the image are green grass, a green camellia shrub, and a blonde coyote about to step onto the concrete from the yard. to the left of the image is a "go away green" siding corner of the house. on the step are 3 metal bowls and a ceramic bowl that i use to feed and water community cats, assorted carnivorous/omnivorous birds, and deer during the day. there's a pile of deer corn/protein pellet mix between two of the bowls for the deer.
