There is a process to have mayoral elections, Patrick Braxton found the paperwork despite obstruction from the city council. The existing mayor Haywood “Woody” Stokes III ignored him and didn't bother to run so Braxton won by default managing to get recognized by the county. Then, shortly after, the white town council met secretly and reappointed (??) Haywood “Woody” Stokes III as Mayor. It's an old typical situation. Here's the best article I found:

@ai6yr The brain fog thing is real. In my case it lasted for five months. I didn't realize I had it until it went away and my IQ came back. Weird.

@selzero@vmst.io What does religion have to do with ethics? Nothing.

Religion sets the arbitrary rules we call morals.

I buy the take that a goal of buying Twitter was to stop progressive movements that were organizing there.

These movements were and are changing the world for the better.

The fediverse needs to be built to be their forever home: a place to join together across borders to make the world better for everyone, with equal opportunities for all.

I still, despite everything, after all this time, believe this is the promise of the internet.

@karlauerbach I must admit that in that timeframe my foresight would have failed me. How can you possibly need more than 32-bits of address???

I never imagined that everyone on the planet would have a wireless phone / computer in their pocket, and networked appliances at home. Hahaha. I probably would have resisted the very idea of it.

"I took 1 star reviews of #Barbie from furious men on letterboxd and put them on the posters because it makes the film seem ever cooler."

That last one has to be a guy who doesn't understand why he is so attracted to the Kens.

It is possible to voice legitimate policy complaints without resorting to equating Biden to Trump, which is horrifically wrong and extremely hurtful.

Trump boasted publicly that he was killing people in blue states. He stole PPE from hospitals and gave it to his friends to sell for a profit. These are actual crimes against humanity.

No, I don't want an AI overview. I'd rather get the correct answers to my questions direct from sites via the blue links you now appear to hate so much. Homogenized unattributed mystery answers are worse than useless. They're dangerous.
