Lev Parnas is a scammer by trade, but I'll still put this short article out there with that note of caution. He says he heard from an anonymous source that they gathered all those generals in one room to use AI to scan their faces for signs of annoyance and potential disloyalty.

It's so preposterous that frankly with this regime it might be true. I can absolutely believe they have no concept of even generals having the political discipline to keep...

This feels like a mastodon thing - there is a UK hospital trust trying to get rid of 132 used solar panels from demolished buildings. Schuco MPE 190 MS 06, tested in 2023 at 89% original capacity. No mountings or inverters, believe would be free for collection only from the Midlands. If anyone has a project or community group that would benefit message me for contact #solar #solarpanels @bloor @revk ?

@GottaLaff Ballots will be mailed to all California registered voters on October 6.
Either mail them back right away or drop in a drop box starting October 7. I use the drop box because, to me, it feels more secure than the mail, and it's available 24/7.
Vote early in person if it's more convenient. Each county has its own rules. Contact your county election board.
Please, please, please do not wait until the last minute. Vote YES on Prop. 50!

@GottaLaff I can't say that I've seen an actual postmark on a letter in a very long time.

In my county (Santa Cruz) in California there are several non-postal drop-off points for ballots - there are two of 'em within five minutes of our house. We usually drop our ballots of at those and avoid the USPS entirely.

2/ “Ballots that aren’t postmarked on or before Election Day are not counted.
The large swaths of the state affected by the Postal Service changes include both rural and urban areas such as Bakersfield, the Central Valley, Central Coast, Palm Springs & more.. California voters will decide on Proposition 50, championed by Gov. Gavin Newsom and other Democrats to try to boost their party’s numbers in Congress by redrawing district boundaries.”

Um… 2026 preview?

“Election ballots mailed on Nov4 may not be counted, state officials warn

Processing delays by US Postal Serv may mean ballots mailed on day of special election will not be counted. Those delays can affect large swaths of #California, incl both rural and urban areas” https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-10-02/ballots-mailed-on-election-day-may-not-be-counted-state-officials-warn

Election ballots mailed on Nov. 4 may not be counted, state officials warn
