Wilhelm Röntgen discovered X-rays #OTD in 1895 when he noticed that emanations from a Crookes tube caused a platino-barium screen to fluoresce. The rays exposed photographic plates but were blocked by bone and metal.

It’s 6 November, and you know what that means, don’t you? YES, THAT’S RIGHT. It’s the 156th anniversary of the death of Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s pet wombat

Personal Me: I voted early, in person for the first time since 2019. I was in line behind two Somali American women, one of them disabled, and they were having the best day ever. They were so excited, it lit the place up. Honor that. If you haven’t voted yet, get your ass out there and do it.

Sent my ballot to California two weeks ago. LAVote does not yet list it as received. The state continues to count ballots that are postmarked by election day for another week. The German and US post offices can be very slow sometimes, but I also know that Strange Things are Afoot...should I worry?

With SNAP/EBT cuts looming I highly recommend downloading this app! Basically restaurants and other food businesses will have available bags of random food they don’t wanna waste for ppl to buy for hella cheap! This has saved me sooooo many times when I only have $5 and need some food.

World Series game seven: in my time zone, first pitch was at 1 AM. My regular sports bar showed it, but the owner is a Blue Jays fan, and I haven't been feeling well, so I opted for extended highlights this morning. I regret that move today. That would've been epic to watch live, on hostile ground.
