I keep saying, I have a newfound appreciation for how fascism birthed the surrealist movement.

Every fucking day, I feel like I'm losing my god damn mind.

Democrats Abroad Germany wants you to join us for our Oktoberfest fundraiser in Munich! The URL www.democratsabroad.org/oktoberfest is at the bottom of the image. This text is over an illustration of a green felt Bavarian style hat, a pretzel, a Hefeweizen and a heart-shaped decorated gingerbread cookie with the date Saturday, September 27 sitting on a grassy green hilltop under a blue and white sky and Bavarian blue-and-white pennant banners drape the upper corners.

Under a red, yellow and green striped tent with wreathed lighting, smiling people who like to help other Americans abroad understand and exercise their right to vote enjoy frosty Festbiers at a Democrats Abroad Oktoberfest gathering.

It’s having the knock-on effect of disenfranchising military and overseas voters as some overzealous postal services suspended letter service. If you vote in a state with electronic return (email, portal, even fax), you’re probably ok. If you vote in a postal return only state, you might be screwed.

These three have been holding a sit in on the Missouri house floor for over 48 hours to stop the redistricting vote.

This should be the biggest story of the weekend. This should’ve been the biggest story of the last two days, but we can’t go back in time.

We’re still here! Almost 24 hours on the house floor! Call Speaker Patterson and tell him to stop the Initiative Petition Sabotage and the racist congressional redistricting. 573-751-0907

No joke: Bernd das Brot and die Sendung mit der Maus. Those and the news, which is regularly only 15 minutes long and read in an incredibly calming, accessible style. And then old Eurovisions with Peter Urban's commentary for funsies.

Either way, gute Reise und viel Spaß!

I am surrounded by people who are outsourcing their own thinking to ChatGPT and they are quickly and obviously becoming dependent on it for even the most banal tasks. Once again, the "figuring it out" is the important part. Yes, you can use a crane to lift weights but you will not get stronger

This is a good question and it's one I'm getting a lot. The answer is going to depend, in part, on your risk tolerance and the role you plan to play

I've just pushed out a newsletter article with recommendations and advice. Here's a thread with the cliff's notes
