A couple of things about these claims circulating that the 2024 election was "rigged":

1. The supposed "proof" is essentially the same nonsensical statistical gobbledygook that the MAGA people were claiming about 2020, with the parties reversed.

2. There is no legal mechanism to "recount" an election after the results are certified. None. The ship has sailed.

DDOS attacks are coming more frequently.

If you've ever considered donating blood then now is the time to start doing it.

My partner and I have made a date out of it. We ride down to the Brunswick blood donor centre and have them suck out 800ml of plasma, make a chocolate milk and a party pie and then go to the pub for a dinner.

"An extra 9,500 donations of O positive and O negative blood donors are needed in the next seven days to ensure Lifeblood can continue to meet the needs of patients across the country."
