It’s 2025, why the hell are political campaigns still thinking best engagement is knocking on doors and making phone calls is how to reach voters?

I applaud their efforts but i think technology is available to engage and reach people in 2025.
THE STATS ARE IN

To all the volunteers - THANK YOU!!!!

Polls are open TODAY until 7 PM. You can knock on doors, phone bank, and still get involved if able.

First cooking fail of Thanksgiving.

I’m making jambalaya with andouille sausage, bacon pieces and scrambled eggs for food delivery tomorrow.

I put 5 cups of water vs 2.5 cuz I thought I was gonna make 2 packages but the pot isn’t big enough.

This will take a bit longer now. 🤦‍♂️

Not sure when republicans became anti science but they are.

This kind of ignorance at the highest levels of government is extremely dangerous.

The US Dept of Transportation Sean Duffy who has no experience in transportation nor aviation should just shut the fuck up about items he has no clue about.

Excuse me, that’s US Dept of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy call sign DUMBASS.

You earned it Duffy.

The NTSB has released the preliminary report into UPS 2976 with these powerful images.

Gyroscopic precession may have been a factor as the engine pylon is under a lot of lateral force during rotation due to this physics principle.

ICYMI , all of these issues have existed with ATC since the presidency of Lyndon Johnson.

The FAA also has a shortage of technicians , aircraft certification specialists, safety inspectors and more.

Everybody knows this.
The shutdown may be over, but the task of fixing deficiencies that have dogged the nation’s aviation system is far from complete: A dire shortage of certified air controllers, outdated equipment and lack of funding to update those critical systems.
The shutdown is over, but the nation’s aviation problems are not.

My employer approved my request to match our donation to the Central TX Food Bank. This means a total of $855 went to the food bank and $427.50 went to Meals on Wheels for a grand total of $1,282.50 or atleast 5,130 meals were made possible thanks to the Fancakes!

THANK YOU!!!

@sfdirewolf.bsky.social just passed away. What a heartbreaking loss. And a reminder of how important Teen Vogue was.
It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.
