Google promotes its reCAPTCHA service as a security mechanism for websites, but researchers affiliated with the University of California, Irvine, argue it's harvesting information while extracting human labor worth billions.…Forget security – Google's reCAPTCHA v2 is exploiting users for profit

I guarantee the 2024 DNC won't be anywhere near the shitshow the 2016 DNC was. I was there in person for the first night, and it was a zoo. Jill Stein leading her crazies in immature stupidity outside the convention, Susan Sarandon leading her crazies in immature stupidity inside the convention, Sanders delegates and supporters booing and cat calling through many of the speeches. Disarray on full display; lots of adults behaving badly.

Today's harvest. Large dinner fork for scale. I could have picked more, but decided this was as many I could handle for now.
The cucumbers have been going absolutely bonkers. I can't eat, pickle, or give them away to neighbors fast enough.
Also my first vine-ripened tomato of the season.

We're not re-running the primaries. We're not choosing new delegates. The delegates are already chosen, and the Convention will go ahead with them. That's the process. That's how it always works. The delegates choose the nominee.
They won't be bound to vote for anyone on the first ballot, but I actually expect that there will be a first-ballot victory for the nominee.
cheers to all of y’all using keywords or hashtags to hit our filters. Gentle reminder you don’t HAVE to tag with #politics but every time you do a butterfly is born and a bumble bee pollinates a fruit tree… 😂🤣😘
Apparently some people missed that President Joe Biden endorsed Kamala Harris.
She's running. She's the most likely candidate, given that the convention consists of a vast majority of Biden delegates who were elected to support a Biden-Harris ticket.
I don't think repeating misinformation, either about events or the process, is in the least bit helpful.
