“Voters told the Mississippi Free Press earlier today that the McLeod Elementary polling place ran out of ballots as early as 8:30 a.m.; voting began at 7 a.m. and lasts until 7 p.m.”
‘Oh, no! We accidentally forgot to print ballots in… certain areas! How could this be? I hope it doesn’t affect the Black vote in any way, seeing as this is the most populous Black area in the entire state, golly gee’

Every reporter in America should stop what they're doing, read, and absorb the importance of what Will Bunch says here. We are one election away from a fascist state ruled by a career mobster with a sadistic craving for revenge. That's what's at stake in 2024! https://www.inquirer.com/opinion/commentary/journalism-free-press-gaza-extremism-20231105.html
We've come quite a way in my lifetime. I was 23 years old when reporters were asking Sally Ride asinine sexist questions.

Seeing #satellites in the sky is commonplace: sit outside for a few minutes after dark, and you can’t miss them.
These bright, shiny satellites are putting at risk our connection to the #cosmos, which has been important to humans for countless millennia and has already been greatly diminished by the growth of cities and artificial lighting.
They are also posing a problem for astronomers – and hence for our understanding of the #universe.

@lovelylovely Right-wingers don't care about dead children. They care about keeping women barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen.
The clock has changed back to Standard Time. YIPPEEEEE!!!!! Whoo hoo!
@LAGilman I used to live in Florida. He'll save 7% in capital gains tax but he'll pay more in other ways and other taxes. He'll find out.
@ellyjohnston I've never seen this before. I like it. And one guy (apparently) in one window.
