While they touched briefly on the money aspect, I think this article missed another point: Trump is campaigning in areas he's likely to lose, because he's laying the groundwork for an insurrection. He'll likely point at the results and craft a new lie for his supporters on how the election was stolen (in an area he had little chance of ever winning).

Early evening on deck?

Wow. CNN really HAS become Fox News, Jr., haven’t they?!?! Sad.

Public service announcement: If your business is buying "known good" email addresses from a data broker... you may want to ask how they are verifying their data.

When I start getting spam from well known entities (I'm looking at you Variety magazine) that I've never signed up for, and it starts coming shortly after a data breach notification... I've got a pretty good feeling that you've just supported that elements involved with said breach.

Today was our li'l ones first day back to school.

Somehow I either forgot, or blocked out that it was also "back to school shootings" season. :( :( How many more families need to go through this madness before we wake the fuck up and do something?

Wonderful. Just received a warning from one of our identity protection providers that my info was included in the National Public Data breach. Not that THEY'VE reached out to notify me at all, smdh.

At least I submitted freeze requests when the news first broke a couple weeks ago. And because my coffee hasn't kicked in and I was cranky, sent an email off and inquired about joining the class action suit. *sigh*

If anyone is looking to freeze their credit reports after this weeks social security breach news, you can sign up for free accounts and get it done quickly online.
Be aware that Equifax is the absolute worst of the three (shocker, I know). The others will let you opt out of marketing/partner emails during the sign-up process. For Equifax, after you freeze your credit file, make sure to go back into Account Management and opt out of all the promo emails and "privacy sharing" at the bottom.

Check complete, good for another 6 months. Phew.

Gettin' ready to head to the doc for a follow-up after January's skin cancer removal. Ugh, for some reason I'm just not feeling it today, hopefully it's short and sweet with good news.

It's that time of year... when all unrecognized numbers get sent straight to voicemail. Easiest way to deal with the political spam & telemarketers - 'specially with the text transcription thing, so I know if it's safe to delete without having to listen!

Now that she's finished watching whatever season of "House of the Dragon" (I refuse, because F George R.R. Martin until he finally finishes the damn series), our daughter is preparing for the remainder of the election cycle by finally watching the entire Game of Thrones series.

Not sure if I should be proud, or alarmed. :D

Leave it to the Democrats. Those MFers could mess up a wet dream.

Did they bother checking how many states won't let them update ballots at this point?

I see folks have concerns after yesterday's debate.

I have to admit, I didn't watch it. Wasn't interested in seeing more old white dudes that ruined our planet stumble over the soundbite phrases they were prepped with.

I'm more concerned with the corporate pocket politicians that packed the Inferior Court with paid for shills who have gutted the regulatory power of agencies.

I think the biggest danger we face is the corporate, conservative agenda of the current Court.

Happy Father’s / Parent’s Day to all those filling that role for someone!! 💜

*whispers* End-to-end encryption and "encrypt everything" is great for privacy.

But your antivirus/antimalware solutions also won't alert on any attacks contained in those encrypted streams. So make sure you've got clean backups and know the signs to watch out for.

@phase2 Happy Born Day! May the very best of the past year, be the very least of this next one!
