@Populele_us received my Populele 2 only to find the uke body was cracked! NO damage to either the shipping or retail boxes, so presumably the uke shipped out from mfg plant damaged? Reached out to support TWICE via email but haven't heard anything - can you assist?

A Democrat was in the White House when my family was sent to the internment camps in 1941. It was an egregious violation of our human and civil rights.

It would have been understandable if people like me said they’d never vote for a Democrat again, given what had been done to us.

But being a liberal, being a progressive, means being able to look past my own grievances and concerns and think of the greater good. It means working from within the Democratic party to make it better, even when it has betrayed its values.

I went on to campaign for Adlai Stevenson when I became an adult. I marched for civil rights and had the honor of meeting Dr. Martin Luther King. I fought for redress for my community and have spent my life ensuring that America understood that we could not betray our Constitution in such a way ever again.

Bill Clinton broke my heart when he signed DOMA into law. It was a slap in the face to the LGBTQ community. And I knew that we still had much work to do. But I voted for him again in 1996 despite my misgivings, because the alternative was far worse. And my obligation as a citizen was to help choose the best leader for it, not to check out by not voting out of anger or protest.

There is no leader who will make the decision you want her or him to make 100 percent of the time. Your vote is a tool of hope for a better world. Use it wisely, for it is precious. Use it for others, for they are in need of your support, too.

Some of the discourse around the #SAGstrike reminds me of an assumption about actors that I've come across for most of my life. Many people seem to assume that there are ONLY TWO kinds of actors:
1. Wildly famous, rich celebrities
2. Failed pretenders who are actually servers 1/

@SHUXshow will there be a 2023 con?

@ashly_burch Although overall i enjoyed the trilogy, the change to Faramir's interaction with Frodo & ring w/consequent Osgiliath scenes truly bummed me out; was imo an unnecessary removal of F's agency, that is his strength in resisting the very same temptation his brother gave in to.

So Zorro, Fu Manchu, Charlie Chan, Goku, the Prince of Persia, the King of Siam, Othello, every Egyptian Pharaoh, the Lone Ranger, Tonto, Ghandi, Pocahontas, Moses, Noah & Jesus were white

But a negro hobbit or a Black Targaryen isn’t “faithful to the source material”

Got it

Of COURSE none of the big 3 credit agencies support MFA to protect access to one's account - nice work @Equifax @Experian_US and @TransUnion

PSA to MSPs: Avoid @TDSYNNEX

@SYNNEX STELLR team arbitrarily charged our credit card 2 weeks ago ~$3000 for NO SERVICES, and with no one on their team able to offer an explanation re: why the charges took place nor when to expect a refund

[Ali S @netarc]

@SYNNEX @TDSYNNEX team - your STELLR group charged our MSP for cancelled contracts, and when contacted re: same can not a) find these contracts b) offer an explanation of why the charges were effected c) provide an eta for refund.

What word is the opposite of "stellar," again?

[Ali S @netarc]

@ConnectWise - your support team hasn't responded to an 1+ week open matter, so I'm trying this public forum; how about a review of Service Ticket ID # 202203010021490 ?

@tonyhawk Lil' sis at Lower right - so unimpressed 😜

[Ali S @netarc]

Say you know someone who's being cat-fished, and thoroughly & beyond reason convinced they're in a serious relationship with a celebrity.

What does one do, how does one help?!
