Elon Musk is bankrolling an ad campaign to get you to check your voter registration through an innocent-sounding website. But his real goal is to collect and sell your personal data to advertising companies, Big Tech, and other Republican PACs.

The slick voter registration website, currently being promoted to millions of people, is a digital surveillance machine.

Shadow wants to make sure that EVERYONE knows that Churu is NOT JUST for the cats in this household. It is also for the poodle. Especially the chicken flavored ones.

Miniature poodle who is looking at me in shock that HE was not offered Churu. Soft Milk Bones are only a small consolation.

It can be difficult to activate the Roku when a void is napping in front of it.

Black cat is laying down in front of the Roku device. She looks slightly annoyed since a flash was needed to take her picture.

I didn’t know about the earliest origin of Memorial Day until I was a grown-ass man —because some folks didn’t want us to. 2021: Memorial Day organizers cut the mic of retired Lt Col Kemter as he discussed how formerly enslaved Americans exhumed remains of soldiers to give them proper burials. 🧵

Whatever caused my health insurance company to declare that my coverage was terminated has been reversed. I will give credit to my HR benefits liaison for getting this fixed. I will sleep better tonight knowing that this snafu appears to be resolved.

Today I had a medical appointment for a frightening issue I am going through. I checked my account on the website afterwards to see that I'm now listed as terminated from service. I called the insurance provider & my HR dept. Both reassured me that I am still covered. The stress is making me cry.

A few years ago, on Enterprise Rd in PG County, MD, an assisted living facility was built next to Rt. 50. This week a permit was filed to build a funeral home & associated facilities (crematorium?) on the other side of the highway, within eyesight of the other property. Wooo. That's harsh.

If you can make a person stateless, you can also make them "not human." And once a person is both stateless and devoid of human status, anything you do to them will be considered acceptable up to and including mass extermination

"The House agreed by unanimous consent early Friday to extend FISA until April 30 after a group of Republicans blocked attempts to pass five-year and 18-month renewals of the program." Disappointing, but not surprising. www.axios.com/2026/04/17/f...
