Four of #RFKJr's siblings formally denounce his third party run. I, for one, thank them.

"The decision of our brother Bobby to run as a third party candidate against Joe Biden is a dangerous decision for our country," they wrote. "Bobby might share the same name as our father, but he does not share the same values, vision or judgement. Today's announcement is deeply saddening for us. We denounce his candidacy and believe it to be perilous for our country." #VoteBlue https://www.rawstory.com/rfk-jr-2665858315/

It occurred to me that the scale isn't obvious

Another good day not to be on Twitter

And let me be perfectly clear...I am a huge fan of both POTUS Obama AND POTUS Biden both!
Huge huge fan...of both.

My husband has been fixing the neighbourhood children's bikes. Our house has become a sort of pit stop for them.

Just now I opened the garage door and within seconds there were 5 kids pulling up on their bikes, 4 needing repairs and 1 tiny boy wanting to show Brendon that he now also has his own, "shiny blue" bike.

Republican-controlled legislatures are ignoring the law because they have decided that defiance is good politics.

Important warning for anyone experimenting with integrating AI into workflows: The companies selling AI are doing the classic tech thing where they’re selling it at a massive loss at the start. But these models are crazy expensive to run. Eventually that cost is going to be passed on to you. https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/ais-costly-buildup-could-make-early-products-a-hard-sell-bdd29b9f?mod=followamazon

It's not clear anyone has the votes to be speaker right now. Usually the party lines up behind whoever gets a majority of the party, but that's out the window after 8 people defied the rest of the party.

I’m shocked…

Over 100K 18-year-old Ohioans aren’t yet registered to vote. They won't be able to vote in the November 7th election unless they register by 10/10. Reproductive rights are at stake. Here’s how you can help and spread the word.

"Japanese brewers include braille on their beer cans to prevent the blind from mistaking alcohol for soft drinks."

From Sergiy Sylantyev: "I continued my scientific work even when I was in the trenches [in #Ukraine]. I performed some editorial corrections to my paper submitted to Cell Death & Disease when we were under mortar shelling. I had a strong feeling that…in case I die here, I need to get this paper published. We had some Internet connection, which I used to discuss edits with my co-authors. In some ways, it was like any distanced information exchange between scientists."
