It's only helpful if we do something to improve the next election.
Here's the plain truth, zero speculation, it is technically impossible to have both secret ballots (which we clearly need) and secure electronic voting.
100% cannot do both. (The logic behind this is the incompleteness theorem.)

I showed this photo at my relative's old folks home thanksgiving dinner to a chorus of audible gasps.
They know what that posture & gaze means.
They also instantly mentioned Biden never looked so bad.

On this day in 1955 Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat. For 381 days people boycotted the buses. They walked, carpooled and organized every single day until segregation cracked. Nothing will change today without that same resolve. Freedom isn’t granted, it's taken one step at a time. #Resist

Wikipedia is a wonder of the world
I happily donate to Wikipedia, incredible resource in this day and age especially.
I take Wikipedia for granted. Reading this Jimmy Wales interview reminded me in our Fantasyland age what a remarkable and important creation it is. True pillar of civilization. Runs on only $200 million a year. Requires our support. So I’m finally donating. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/m...

From what I can gather, Murdoch and WSJ have their limits on supporting TACO. They're opportunists, but see the TACO ship taking on water, and given recent US election results (11/4), I think the see the handwriting on the wall for TACO and maybe even MAGA. Call them more reasonable MAGATs :)

The director of the FDA is using unverified submissions to the VAERS database to claim the Covid vaccine resulted in 10 pediatric deaths.
Anyone can submit anything to VAERS. To demonstrate, a doctor famously reported that the flu shot turned him into the Incredible Hulk.
