Calling all white hat #hackers who have music knowledge. #Finale announced it was shutting down. Their files are proprietary and nothing else reads them. Composers are really screwed. This particular Mastodon (@Lichtenbergian ) composer could really use help saving his life’s work. https://mastodon.sdf.org/@Lichtenbergian/113040223337445188

In Texas, the cutoff is October 7 this year.

If you are 17 now but will be 18 on Election Day in November, you can still register!

Everyone else - check that you are still registered and haven’t been removed from the voter rolls!

Reminder to US citizens age 18 and above: Don't get cocky! Register to vote. If you are registered (especially in a red state), check that your registration is still valid. Get all your friends and loved ones to do the same. You can find information on how to register (and check your registration) at vote.gov. May the vote be with you!

@ami_angelwings there’s a certain point where increased military spending leads to a worse military over the long run. (It’s somewhere between 5% and 25% of gdp.)
Victor Frankl is maybe the ultimate example of "this is great but it's not science, stop calling it science." All the great psychoanalysts should've just written novels.
