Maine Humanities Council doing great work here. They have been amazing in recent years at promoting smart, interesting, truly literary voices and celebrating the written word in Maine.

I dunno. This is from the CBO report. Doesn't seem so terrible.

For me it's just variations on this, over and over again. Weird AI blondes encouraging me to become a fascist asshole.

They did this on purpose. Just sickening to think of the Mainers, and people all across the country, suffering because of greedy, despicable, callous assholes that revel in other people's misfortune.

Yet again, the police are completely absolved for killing a Mainer. Multiple officers (wearing vests and tactical gear, I'm assuming) with guns against a single man with a chest wound wielding a knife and the only way out was to shoot him multiple times. Oh well.

The "plaintiff" in this case is a 13 year old. This is from 2016. She told her friends, "I am not suicidal - just in case I die." Then she died by "suicide."

I dunno. Maybe if everyone thinks your technology is shit and will make the world a worse place over the next 10 years we shouldn't invest our entire economy in it? Hard to say.

70/30 Yes. It would seem that Mainers are very much looking to do SOMETHING about the gun issue.

That's some weird business. According to the Press Herald's site, that red dot is ... North Yarmouth? I don't believe those results for a second. Something weird is going on there.

Wow. If this is Gray, these questions are landslides. I find these results encouraging.

Not exactly a flood of people at the Gray polls, but a couple other folks at 6p. Doesn't seem like a heavy turnout.

Top three "suggested reels" for me when I made the mistake of going on Facebook, where I have to go for various volunteer and work-based reasons. Meta is an absolute societal menace. Just poison.
