Richard Glossip gets a new trial! This is critical - his case has numerous red flags and I have extreme doubt of his guilt. He was deprived of a fair trial!

Germany managed to stand up and avoided handing over their democracy to Elon today. Next time, we may not be so lucky. We have to root out fascism wherever we find it, before it takes hold.

I really enjoyed Alec’s take on ‘Algorithmic Complacency’ in his latest video. I catch myself in this trap sometimes… but I’m regaining my own media curation ability through Bluesky.
In case anybody wants proof that that radio actually works and I use it

(Also I replaced the capacitors back in high school)

Musk et al don’t just have ‘read’ access to treasury’s PAM system, they have READ AND WRITE access. They are inserting malicious code into the US’ largest payment processor! This is now a crisis!

Ohio leader admits purposefully misleading voters with confusing ballot language, which would have fixed gerrymandering. In Ohio, you can cheat and lie your way to the top. No consequences.

@rooster.info I’m seeing whispers that HB8 is already fixed… are they really going to thrust this on us? Is there any point in even continuing to call and write?

Every day, Ohio’s Republican legislators wake up and ask themselves: “how can I make Ohio a worse place for all Ohioans today?”

Up next: eliminate LGBTQ+ people from everyday life, force teachers to out students, and ensure religious instruction during the school day.

Ohio is ensuring that there is zero accountability for any private school vouchers. No testing. No financial reporting. No annual report. Only a rat hole to throw money down.
