Steinmeyer said his priority is to get it through the House before worrying about the Senate. And if legislators oppose putting the proposed amendment to a statewide vote, he believes they're effectively silencing the voters.

"Who's going to decide the outcome?

Ultimately, it's going to be the voters,โ€ he said. "If elected officials want to silence the voice of the voters, I want them on record. I want them to go out there and say that."

My favorite is this bit. Oh, now that's a concern for you, after attempting to throw out half the stuff that went to ballot last time, trying to make it harder for referendums to happen, and spreading FUD about people collecting signatures within the past month?

For setting up my telescope at the end of the driveway, surrounded by Kansas City light pollution, haven't used sharpcap since the lunar eclipse earlier this year, and haven't learned much about post processing yet, not a bad Orion Nebula.

Getting back into Elden Ring for some reason, instead of anything else in my backlog. Had a stupid death and had to get something out of my head.

Oh hey, speak of the devil. Wonder if they ever fixed the neighborhood that was in two districts, probably not since since they're trying to cram it through.

Hmm, Screenland Armour, unless the Kill Bill re-release goes in an entirely new direction, I don't think that's right. "You guys ever think about dying?" would fit though.

Screenshot of Hades 2 at the start of phase 2 of the Chronos fight. At the bottom a Morrowind text box displays the following:

What a fool you are. I'm a god. How can you kill a god? What a grand and intoxicating innocence. How could you be so naive? There is no escape. No Recall or Intervention can work in this place. Come. Lay down your weapons. It is not too late for my mercy.

Also amusing is that prices aren't listed, but they're sent to the browser. I am in Missouri though, this qualifies as hacking.

I went to look at scheduling service for my car and noticed some really odd options in the list. I wonder what would happen if I request Schrรถdinger's alignment?

Remember when Google Lens existed and was almost the gimmick from Eden of the East brought to life? Guess Google employees couldn't get promotions from working on it, and now there's this shit instead
