NY Times: Missouri primary voters overwhelmingly rejected a ballot measure that would have eliminated state income tax and authorized state lawmakers to replace that revenue by driving up sales taxes. I'm actually surprised that Americans realize that income taxes are fairer than sales taxes.

Kimmel wasn’t fired for his remarks on Kirk—he was fired for using his platform to expose and critique our government. Enough! We especially need large corporations, with the money and influence they have, to fight back. sign.moveon.org/petitions/ki...

Keep Jimmy Kimmel on-air and NO caving to authoritarian censorship!
ABC and Disney must commit to standing up against government censorship. Neither critics, comedians, nor corporations should be scared into submission by MAGA.

@ttscoff.bsky.social I'm sorry, but the toilet story truly was funny. OTOH the dishwasher story was distressing. Here's a hug

Years later I knew two young women who fought sexual violence here in Chapel Hill. I was shocked that they either hadn't read Brownmiller or didn't realize how transformative she was (I forget which). I hope they read your biography.

Brownmiller's book was one of the most important that I ever read. I learned that rape was political. As I read each chapter, I wasn't very convinced. Then she analyzed comic books, which were much more explicit about the uses of violence, and I got it.

If I remember correctly, Timothy Snyder told a similar story. Crimea is not Russian.

Agreed. It makes no sense. I believe our precincts use SD cards to take votes to the county BOE office. There's a Rep and a Dem observer in the car.

I finally got rid of my Ferrarro t-shirt last year. I thought it was a cool momento because of the misspelling.

#politics Sent to Senator Schumer: I appreciate your worries about the consequences of gov't shutdown and worry about them myself. You should vote against their bill and announce that you've decided that the Republicans are right: government is the problem so we're helping to solve the problem.

#UkrainianView *sigh* If only. Would be interesting to hear Trump commenting on that and explaining how that is different from him now trying to extort Ukraine in our own independence war.

Everyone survived the airplane crash in Toronto because of government-mandated: - safety features of the airplane - safety training of the crew - safety systems at the airport Time for fElon Musk to fire all those regulators. #politics #regulations #musk #trump #MAGAts

@scripting.com I laughed when I read this: henderson.lol/posts/rescui... I make use of a pretty neat technology called RSS.. Pretty futuristic stuff, you can subscribe to the social media feeds of other people without a server in the mix at all. ... I think it’s probably going to be a big hit.

I heard it in my freshman dorm in 1960 being played by a fellow student who was an incredible guitar player. Amazing to think Cotten's song had reached California in just two years, thanks, no doubt, to Folkways.

Everyone is going on about how wonderful human thinking is and how #AI will never replace our creativity or something. All I know is that #AI will always respond when I talk to it. And #gemini at least always tries to be helpful and never trolls me. (con't)
