IMO, *THIS* is *the way* communities should respond when (ostensibly) one of theirs does as was done in the case of Henry Novak.
Are a few other 'communities' that should take note.
Was talking to a good buddy today, and topically meandered to “Hey, have you seen the @ShawnRyanShow with…”
“No, not yet. I’m behind. But you know who I love on the show? @sarahadams.”
“Oh, yeah, she’s bad ass!”
“SuperBad-ass!”
We both crack up. You have SUPERFANS, @SarahAdams!
@ScottJenningsKY A compromise: 'Balanced Time'.
Go to the UN/ITU and propose a GLOBAL shift of +30 minutes. UTC+30, EST+30 =EBT, PST+30 =PBT
Get the major industrialized nations onboard—"A moment of GLOBAL UNITY!"—and make it happen later this year.
We made it thru Y2K, we can do this.
@physicsgeek OTOH, believe there is enough evidence Floyd not only PERSONALLY escalated the situation, in face of arrest, but likely did so due to being under the influence of a drug already set to kill him.
Chauvin was tangential to the death AND also did himself in choosing to be a hardass.
@physicsgeek Man lost his life because cops couldn't de-escalate a situation in which the dead guy was, ostensibly, also a victim of 'policing' not having properly done its job (Secret Service, at least).
I, for one, SUPPORT @BridgetPhetasy in her campaign to take over late night tv!
HOWEVER, Bridget, you can NOT move into a CBS studio! Must continue to record the show, with your crew, in your home studio AS IS! (But use that delicious 💸 to bring the entire crew back together!)
I'm puzzled as to why this not only HAS NOT happened… but isn't even a thing AT ALL.
It makes no sense.
And it isn't just the US Govt that could have done it… the States—there ARE 50 of them—could have bootstrapped something too. But… nope!
It kinda shocks me that, given Trump's issues with elections, the Trump Administration hasn't spent the last 18 months working to bootstrap an open-source digital voting solution.
The behavior is not what I'd expect from someone so concerned with 'rigged' elections.
In cases where fraud is suspected, courts could reverse the encryption, through process, and unlock nodes on the local election commission's private election blockchain that uses the info on the public blockchain to reveal the full chain relationship of a ballot.
All auditable.
@RepThomasMassie
Dear Congressman Thomas Massie,
I want to publicly thank you for your service to this country and for consistently standing true to the values of liberty, personal responsibility, and constitutional rights. In a time when many people compromise their principles for political convenience, your willingness to remain grounded in the Constitution and defend individual freedoms has earned the respect of many Americans.
Whether people agree with every position or not, it is clear that you approach public service with conviction, integrity, and a commitment to what you believe is right for the country. That kind of consistency is rare and appreciated.
Thank you for your dedication, your courage to stand firm under pressure, and your continued efforts to protect the liberties that so many Americans value deeply.
I hope you are able to enjoy some well-deserved time off with family and friends, recharge, and know that your work has not gone unnoticed.
Wishing you the very best moving forward.
Sincerely,
Judi Ann
Thanks to Donald Trump, we now have two Democratic parties. With the defeat of @RepThomasMassie for being a principled fiscal conservative, the Republican Party basically exists in name only. We have two big-government political parties, each offering its own brand of socialism.
@SpaceX You posted yesterday that the Starship 12 launch was moving to 05/21, with a link to your Launch site; however while the heading there states "May 21", the body still says "May 20".

Well… we all got played.
Most disappointed in @ginacarano. After the @Disney/@starwars thing, I was on her side… but, fuck that… now see how dumb it was to buy into the ‘soap opera’.
@scottrudy So much stuff MS should be ‘Wizard’-ing for employee lifecycle that they don’t.
“Hey M365, this employee is leaving.”
“OK, let’s do this, this, this, and that… btw, was the separation amicable?”
