Ancient nobody; decades' worth of opinion. Here to learn from the learned. My thoughts are ephemeral.

The irony of bombing a girls' elementary school, when records of FBI interviewing the same girl four times go missing...

Can you do a version with elementary school girls looking up, please? The last I saw was 51 dead.

In an Intense Election Year, New Post Office Rules Could Trip Up Voter Registration A change in how mail is postmarked could lead some voters to miss key deadlines, including voter registration. Advocates worry the people most affected will be those already facing voting barriers.

Because of new USPS rules, voters who mail registration forms near the deadline may risk being left off the rolls. One solution: requesting a manual postmark at the retail counter of a post office.

Timeline to US attacks on Iran Flurries of threats, then attacks, then attacks on oversight and independent evidence

Have written a quick post on the timeline leading to today's attacks...

A key thing to notice is how Trump et al tried to suppress dissent and independent evidence after last summer's strikes. Expect the same again now.

Callers to Washington state hotline press 2 for Spanish and get accented AI English instead Callers to Washington state’s driver’s license agency who select automated service in Spanish are instead hearing an AI voice speaking English with a strong Spanish accent.

Press β€œtwo” for Spanish ... accent?

β€œFor months, callers to the Washington state Department of Licensing who have requested automated service in Spanish have instead heard an AI voice speaking English in a strong Spanish accent.β€œ

Listening to your Sat Feb 21 "A Few Thoughts", I was reminded of how intrigued I was listening to Prof Ed Ayers on the old podcast, his retelling of what he learned as a child/student in the South. Not the content, but as background to understanding what's going on now.

Ah, not fair fast-forwarding. (I know, you wouldn't do that, but it looks like it.)

Was the same in the 90s. But we're part of Asia when it comes to selling stuff.

Calling on all members of Congress: if there were ever a time to honor your esteemed predecessor the late great foot soldier, fighter & moral muscle John R. Lewis by making good trouble it is now. And it begins by blocking the SAVE aka SABOTAGE Act by any lawful means necessary.

Russia is interesting - it almost sounds like a challenge to 47 to pressure them.

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible β€œAmerica at 250!” achievement
