Let's hope that the inevitable defeat of the gutting of initiative petitions in Missouri is even more embarrassing than in Ohio!

"Senate Minority Leader John Rizzo, [Democrat from Independence, Missouri] said his biggest takeaway from the actions from the Freedom Caucus was what they’re hoping to accomplish with this delay.

'Their top priority is to take people's rights away to the ballot box. To stop the initiative petition process from being available to Missourians,' Rizzo said. 'Not childcare tax credits, not raising teacher pay, not putting money into public schools, not making sure the single mom is getting paid a fair wage. No, their top priority is to make sure that access to the ballot box is denied to the average Missourian.'

Thursday’s actions come the same day as a group of Missouri abortion rights activists launched an effort to legalize abortion in the state through a constitutional amendment.

The group announced Thursday it will begin circulating a petition that would allow for abortions up to fetal viability. They have a May deadline to collect the roughly 171,000 signatures needed to put the proposed amendment on the ballot."

#JamesWebb #Space #Telescope (#JWST) reveals earliest known #blackhole inside galaxy #GNz1. Researchers speculated that the bright ultraviolet glow emanating from the distant galaxy was probably coming from huge amounts of gas swirling around and pouring into a black hole. The friction of all that gas being pulled inwards would have heated and lit it up, likely explaining why the galaxy is so luminous. https://www.npr.org/2024/01/17/1225153504/james-webb-telescope-detects-earliest-known-black-hole-its-really-big-for-its-ag

So now that's all working, here's the final part now with it all recording how it should be.

So here's the Bad Apple demo on a TI99/4A - well 5 minutes worth of it.

No audio due to this demo requiring a 4MB cartridge and the FinalGROM99 I have only supports 1MB... but still, to see this coming out of real hardware is still amazing.
