I think if I were as bad at my job as #isu judges, I would ethically not be able to collect my paycheck. The fix has been in all season for Beaudry and Cizeron. Those twizzles in the Europeans didn’t even pass the eye test at full speed, much less in slo-mo.

While judges suffer zero blowback for actively under and over-scoring. If the skaters actually acted in solidarity and all posted their detailed scores, maybe something would change.
It is very hard to maintain interest in figure skating when some skaters are ludicrously, bafflingly overscored. Like, what is even the point?

Israel has burned northern Gaza’s last remaining hospital. And kicked out its patients, including neonatal and ICU patients. I picked a western news source since y’all seem more likely to believe those. I don’t know how else to get people to care.

Are you familiar with the starter pack MAGA block list? It automatically blocks anyone with MAGA or Trump or other Trump indicators in their bio. It’s a godsend.

In Nevada, the GOP is succeeding in throwing out the votes of thousands of young people. If you're in Clark or Washoe county, answer your phone tonight. It may be election officials, calling to cure the defect in your mailed-in ballot.

We're in the midst of a historic surge - second highest in the entire Pandemic.

Complacency Has Replaced Alarm in the Newest COVID Surge
There's a massive surge of the JN1 COVID variant at present, but unlike the early years of the COVID experience, the shared, global alarm and uncertainty have been largely replaced with complacency.

i think it should be a bigger story that NYC’s public libraries are now being forced to close on Sundays due to budget cuts while the NYPD spends 95% of the Library system’s total budget to get new encrypted radios that prevent people from knowing when the cops kill people
The NYPD is spending $390 million on a new, encrypted radio system
The public and news reporters will no longer be able to listen in.

Anti-abortion Secretary of State Frank LaRose ordered the purge of 27,000 voter registrations before voters decide on Issue 1, which would codify abortion in the state. People can re-register—but not in time to vote on the ballot measure. That deadline was Oct. 10.

@cait.bsky.social can you help boost this?
I work in radio and there’s a nationwide EAS test tomorrow, Wed Oct 4th at 2:20pm EDT.
This will send an audible alert to ALL CELLPHONES. If anyone is hiding a phone from an abuser, TURN IT OFF. Remove the battery if you can. Be careful and stay safe.
