With Trump's plan to dismantle and close the Dept of Education I'm re-upping this piece I wrote on Prager University - everyone should get familiar with the far-right PragerU curriculum that is likely to be heavily supported and promoted by the Trump Admin

NV’s sec'y of state, seeing high number of rejected ballots in Clark and Washoe, says biggest issue is signatures of younger voters don’t always match what’s on their driver’s licenses:

“It’s mostly the fact that young people don’t have signatures these days. And when they did register to vote through the automatic voter registration process, they signed a digital pad at D.M.V., and that became their license signature.”

THERE'S STILL TIME TO SIGN UP TO BALLOT CURE IN NV

If you have a Synology NAS and use Safari's "Add to Dock" feature for your DSM, I threw together a quick icon for it.

There's probably better ones out there, but I did a quick search and didn't see anything so I just created this one. Figured I'd share it.

Camping out under the stars on a beautiful clear night in VA. 5 minute exposure with Google Pixel 7's Astrophotography mode.

Uncanny artwork by mother nature. This foliage had grown on the rear window of our car during my working hours yesterday, with nothing out of the ordinary in the weather (–5°C and cloudy) to explain it. Yet in some subtle way the conditions must have been just right for it to occur.

What would the people who wrote, and ratified, the Fourteenth Amendment have thought about this Supreme Court decision?

Would they have thought, oops, our bad. We didn’t write that clearly enough.

They didn’t want anyone who had participated in an insurrection ever to hold public office, much less be allowed to run for President. They said that as clearly as they could.

They didn’t specify an enforcement mechanism—they trusted us future people to work out the details.

We’ve let them down.
