I am wondering if this means I will not be able to vote absentee. I am wondering what this means for the servicemen and women who need to vote by mail. It is clear, however, that it will be hellish in November. Explore this gift article from The New York Times. You can read it for free.

A judge temporarily blocked the agency from implementing a strict new rule governing mail voting. The policy could disproportionately affect Democrats and many battleground elections.

The Summerland fire in BC is truly scary. I’ve rented a place in Summerland. A ton of Okanagan fruit is grown is Summerland. It’s beautiful country with a significant number of people living there or nearby. I hope the human damage is limited

Journal of the History of Philosophy Summer Seminar: ‘Early Modern Debates About Slavery’
Dates: June 14–19, 2026 Location: University of Massachusetts AmherstTopic: “Early Modern Debates About Slavery”Instructor: Julia Jorati (Professor, University of Massachusetts, Amherst) Course Description: In 17th and 18th-century Europe and America, there were intense debates about various aspects of slavery. These debates form a crucial but understudied part of the history of early modern philosophy. They contain discussions about many central philosophical questions and often approach these questions from surprisingly different angles—for instance, questions from moral and political philosophy, metaphysics, philosophy of mind, and epistemology.

For months, Trump’s DHS has wreaked lawless havoc in our neighborhoods. Tear gassing infants, families, and police. Firing their weapons at peaceful citizens. Killing innocent people. It’s brutal, unconstitutional, and out of control. It must stop. Kristi Noem must go. Now.
