Always makes me chuckle, the newspaper that announced a contest to save daylight during daylight savings time, and the national news outlets that didn't get the significance of the announcement being published on April 1.
One thing with returning my mail ballot to the drop box the day after receiving it -- the campaigns now know I already voted. The ones with enough resources to keep their data up to date will not waste resources mailing me or sending people to my door.

As a contractor for the Federal Black Lung program, I want to remind everyone how beneficial the ACA is for coal miners. It introduced the the 15 year presumption rule that that says that a miner that worked in the mines for 15 years or more and has a repitory illness, that it can be presumed to be due to their work in the mines and not another reason such as smoking. This is important, because before the ACA, miners would have to prove their illness was due to mining and not smoking.

Remember PA cannot count absentee ballots before the election by law.
Don’t expect a final out of that critical state until Friday, November 8.

this is phenomenal. This American Life asked Sara Bareilles to imagine the unspoken thoughts of Barack Obama about the election. Leslie Odom Jr. sings the result. Powerful.

The Tell-Tale Heart
read by Sir Christopher Lee
Boiling hot seas were an absurdity in the time of Lewis Carroll, but let's hope people start to get serious about climate change without waiting for pigs to fly.

Any posts that l come across that declare trump supporters or rappers or any other group you or l may disagree with deserve to be killed, or should be guillotined will be muted at the very least
Do not become that which you say you despise
Tell your older relatives, don't share ANY information with people who call their phones.
Since all our SSNs are available to criminals, financial institutions are going to need other information to confirm who we are. Utility bill amounts/account numbers are a likely candidate, and the callers claiming to be offering solar energy installations lead by asking that.
The big tech giants -- Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon -- are super creepy. People frequently notice they are seeing ads for things they only discussed in conversation, as if their devices are analyzing speech at all times.
So why the fuck doesn't YouTube know I've already voted?

FYI The Philadelphia Inquirer is having a sale $1 for a 6 month digital subscription. I presume they are wanting to pick up people who’ve cancelled their Washington Post subscriptions.
