If a convention or community event cannot be profitably and successfully run in a safe and welcoming city and state for all attendees, perhaps that event should no longer be held.

Robert Carradine Dead At Age 71 Actor Robert Carradine Dies At Age 71

Robert Carradine unfortunately lost his battle with bipolar disorder. He was a great actor, and a mensch by all accounts.

LibreOffice project and community recap: January 2026 - TDF Community Blog Here’s our summary of updates, events and activities in the LibreOffice project in the last four weeks – click the links to learn more… We started January with some news about The Document Foundation’s governance: an updated Conflict of Interest Policy for the Board of Directors. Later in the month, the Board also voted on version 1 of TDF Community Bylaws. We continued our series of posts about the Open Document Format (ODF): The philosophy behind ODF: openness, freedom and control; The Future of Open Standards and the Importance of ODF; and Why Open Standards are Extremely Beneficial to End Users. Then there was the LibreOffice Podcast, Episode #6 – discussing language support with Jonathan Clark from TDF. (The episode is also available on PeerTube.)

Italo Vignoli from the foundation posted a State of the LibreOffice Project, with slides about development, translators, donations and downloads. Finally, we prepared for FOSDEM 2026

Trump suggests federal control of elections in β€˜some areas’ In a lengthy interview with NBC, the president said he will accept the results of the midterm elections if they are β€œhonest.”

This is an authoritarian power grab, full stop.

Nationalizing elections would put the executive branch in control of who votes and how. That’s how dictators rig outcomes, crush opposition, and assault democratic self-government.

This should alarm everyone: www.ms.now/news/trump-s...

Fifth Avenue Girl - Wikipedia

Fifth Avenue Girl, 1939, with Ginger Rogers is such a great film. So many familiar character actors in the cast as well. They definitely don’t make them like they used to. #filmsky
