It is quite frustrating that I cannot screen mirror from a linux machine to a television in any user-friendly way. My TV supports miracast directly, and has an appletv connected that will accept airplay. I've tried many programs such as MKChromecast & UxPlay. No luck. #linux #mirroring #airplay

PSA Neck gaiters are not masks. Neck gaiters are not effective at stopping the spread of airborne viruses. Masks, especially well-fitting ones are effective at preventing infection. Conflating the two is bad because it can encourage politicians to ban masks for the general public.

Honestly, as much grief as we give the Dems, they’re doing pretty remarkably when you consider that:
1.) the party now consists of literally everyone in America who had a coherent thought in their lives, which is quite the spectrum
2.) this is not enough to score a plurality of votes in the USA

That would mean literally **ripping up post office parking lots** to auction off assets with no private-sector value.
It’s buried in the Senate’s “One Big Beautiful Bill.”

And here will come the arguments that women make less because we don't ask (we do) or that we make less over our lifetimes because of "breaks" to bear children or all of the usual.
But the issue remains: OUT OF THE GATE for the same job, pay is less, which compounds over our working lifetimes.
