I spend my days fighting for voters in court. Most of what happens there never makes the news. That's why I started Democracy Docket. Sign up now. demdock.com/4w6emld

Don't be this guy. Don't date this guy. I'm begging you. For those who revel in grievousness--please listen: helping each other is not a zero sum game. For those who don't know Ms. Neely's story: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbara... Also, this is why I haven't been on Facebook since 2018.

In which timeline do I get to vote for Buttigieg & Ocasio-Cortez in 2028?
Martin Freeman as Dr. John Watson, similarly trapped in a timeline he never asked for. (Head to forehead, sad eyes, weight of world on his shoulders in the velveteen chair with the plaid blanket on the back).

Is it actually that difficult not to indulge in racist tropes on SM? Someone forwarded me a piece of racist bullshit posted on Facebook in the guise of an actual question, and I'm so mad I could spit nails. We put a shit-ton of effort into unracist-izing crime fiction. IT'S BACK. #crimeFiction

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.
A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:

He's now resorting to trying to buy the election. Federal law makes it unlawful to knowingly and willfully pay, offer to pay, or accept payment for registering to vote or for voting. (52 U.S.C. §10307(c).) Any type of incentive is considered “payment.”
