Vote!

Jeremy Markovich@ncrabbithole.com

A million North Carolinians have voted in this year’s election. One of them—just one!—cast a ballot from Antarctica. I found him. And I found out how he did it. www.ncrabbithole.com/p/one-person...

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

If your argument is tech CEOs only do their crappy blogging there and I might be missing out on some dictionary subtweets… I think I’m fine with missing out (no offense to the Merriam-Webster folks they are, in fact, great) bsky.app/profile/grub...

did you know that we get the word "cockamamie" from a bastardization of a term ("decalcomania") for a period in the 1930s after temporary tattoos were invented by the French and kids were running around putting them on fucking everything?! 🐦🐦🐦

accidentally got people mad about birds

I took this as an opportunity to email my state representative and senator and ask that they consider adopting a state bird that is more evocative of our state and not shared with *six* other states. I’m sure it’s a long shot, but my state rep did say that he would mention it to leadership!

AI companies: This technology we’re developing is dangerous and might destroy humanity and we don’t know how to stop it Other people: So we should strictly regulate it, create legislative guard rails, and monitor its development? AI companies: lol no the opposite of all that & give us more money

A few days ago, Fox News was whining about ICE agents getting heckled at a Mexican restaurant in Minneapolis. Meanwhile, in the town of Willmar, ICE agents had lunch at a Mexican restaurant, waited until it closed, then confronted and arrested three workers as they left.

The failure of our elites to hold Trump accountable for January 6th is as disgraceful as what happened on that awful day. Since 2010, 35 democratic leaders around the world have been criminally convicted. Only Trump went unpunished and unconstrained. Now he threatens democracy at home and abroad.

In short, force them to try to rule by naked force because they *do not* have enough force and the very nakedness of it will mean they have less and less. The Civil Rights movement overcame far more with far less, if we had a fraction of their courage, we'll win.
