In #Michigan, first Tuesday in May is Stealth Election Day for those school districts that elect their school boards via stealth election. My district, Warren Consolidated, used to be such a district. Back in those days the school board elections always caught me off guard. Often I'd be driving down 12 Mile and see the "Vote Today" signs in front of Warren Mott High and realize, oh wow, it's first Tuesday in May again. It seems to be a strategy to make school board elections more of a local insider thing. Harper Valley PTA vibes. Not a good look. I'd like to see stealth elections phased out at the state level. #mipol #elections

I went to school at Mott (back before it merged with Warren), and my children went there too. Weird election dates not only undermine democracy, they also waste taxpayer money.

Since someone suggested Open Doors, I say Broken Doors :)

But I have never see that symbol nor do I know what #GhosTTY is. Are you running on a non-Linux/BSD ?

Siro Thiên môn bổ phổi giảm ho, bổ phổi (chai 280ml)


Tham vấn: Lương y Nguyễn Thành Hiếu Bình Đông
Phổi là cơ quan rất quan trọng trong cơ thể người, có vai trò chính là trao đổi khí – mang O2 từ không khí vào tĩnh mạch phổi và đưa CO2 từ động mạch phổi ra bên ngoài. Ngoài ra, Phổi còn có chức năng chuyển hóa một số chất, lưu trữ máu và lọc các độc tố trong máu.

Trong Đông Y, Phổi tương ứng với Tạng Phế, được chia thành Phế âm và Phế dương. Khi Phế suy yếu sẽ dẫn đến tình trạng ho khan, ho có đờm, ho về đêm, ho lâu ngày, cơ thể mệt mỏi và khó thở. Vì vậy, bổ phổi là điều rất cần thiết để chúng ta duy trì sức khỏe tốt.

Thiên Môn Bổ Phổi Bình Đông kế thừa tinh hoa của nền Y học cổ truyền Việt Nam và là sự kết hợp của những vị thuốc Đông Y gồm: Thiên Môn Đông, Trần Bì, Bình Vôi, Kinh Giới, Bạc Hà, Gừng, Bách Bộ, Tang Bạch Bì và Atiso giúp bổ phổi, giảm ho hiệu quả và hỗ trợ giảm các triệu chứng ho khan, ho gió, ho có đờm, ho lâu ngày, ho về đêm, viêm họng, viêm phế quản,… Với thành phần thảo dược an toàn và lành tính, đây chính là thực phẩm bảo vệ sức khỏe phổi chất lượng mà bạn không thể bỏ qua.

*Lưu ý:

Sản phẩm này không phải là thuốc và không có tác dụng thay thế thuốc chữa bệnh.
Tùy vào cơ địa mỗi người mà thời gian sản phẩm phát huy tác dụng sẽ khác nhau.

I like how S. Zoutewelle puts it:

Sure we need to survive, but let’s acknowledge the desperation under this drive to take everything we do, are or think and try to get cash for it. It reminds me of a young child who shows her father a drawing. He playfully offers her a dollar for it and 15 minutes later she comes back with 5 more. What got lost there in between the first spontaneous artwork and the 5 subsequent calculated ones?

Can someone give me some pointers for telling #Substack from non-Substack websites of the "newsletter" type? Unfortunately (for my purposes), #Ghost (and at least one other substack alternative that I know of) duplicate the look and feel of Substack seemingly exactly, down to the /p/ in the URL. If I do a "view source" on a page, what would be telltale signs of "a Substack?" Do Substack pages in all cases contain the string "substack" somewhere in the source code?

Easiest way for a user is to open an incognito browser and click "Subscribe." If you see "By subscribing, I agree to Substack’s Terms of Use" you'll know.

Literally #appwalled content, first time I've seen that in the wild.It's clickbait, of course. I have no desire to gawk at the charismatic practices of some faith traditions. Preachers claiming the existence of demonic confederacies arrayed against the president are a subject of some public concern, though.

@DrSprockets First time I've seen something like this.

Added to my filter for bad news sources. No point seeing it in my feed if I can't, you know, *see* it.



#Allstate ad featuring #Baylor fandom. Seems the future of #advertising is not only not #woke but will be faith-based. Hotez is with Baylor, so I suppose the place is not entirely without merit, but still, ad left a really bad aftertaste. Glad I'm not one of their policyholders.

Aaaaaand another "Alt Right Playbook" video drops:


The Ladybird browser is a thing. Definitely dependent on commercial sponsorship, but so far all their sponsors are much smaller than the "big tech" tier of corporations.

What would really allow other organizations to step up would be a simplification of the Web Standards. Complexity of standards equals high entry cost equals oligopoly or monopoly.

I think the best thing going might be Gemini, a massively simplified version of the Web Standards, and there are plenty of Gemini browsers that have been implemented noncommercially. Only downside, the community of Gemini users probably isn't large enough to form a critical mass.

Laken Riley sounds like a dream case for the right wing narrative. Not only does it serve as proof of concept for brown-on-white violent crime, but even for shoplifting (perhaps the most aggrandized news trend of 2024) as a "gateway crime." Sometimes a thorough cherry picking of a police blotter hands your enemies an "I told you so" to beat you over the head with. It would be nice if some nice Democrats could get in touch with their inner opportunists. There's a time and a season for bipartisanship, but this ain't it, chief.

What the Democratic Party needs is a hostile takeover by its progressive faction. Think of it as a correction (hopefully not an overcorrection) for the hostile takeover by the DLC. The Republican Party (which, notably, does not have the "superdelegate" system) has allowed itself to be taken over by its more militant faction at least three times in my lifetime, with mixed results, but as we know, nothing ventured, nothing gained. The Democratic Party is extremely resistant to change, and their ship will sink if something doesn't change.

I think Trump is trying to make a political statement. As a protege of Putin, his philosophy of international politics is a post-Westphalian "might makes right" type world order. The Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland) case in particular, is a taunt. The island is a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark, with ambitions for full independence. To someone like Trump, independence is not a status under international law, but the ability to hold one's own against rivals. If Trump were to annex Kalallit Nunaat, what are its 58,000 inhabitants (or even Denmark) going to do, fight back? He's trying to beclown the system of sovereign nation states, which includes a lot of small and/or weak ones that used to be part of empires, as something only fools or idealists believe in. At least Putin is picking on someone 1/4 his size. Trump is a bully in the most pathetic sense of the term.
