I wear progressives normally, but had my optometrist prescribed single vision computer glasses for work, reading at 50cm (they’re great).

Now I notice the smudges all the time. I keep Kimwipes and Pancro with me at all times now, and I’m obsessed.

We have plenty of Hispanic neighbors, I haven’t gone by the Compare Foods shopping center today, hopefully everyone there went home. On the weekend it’s taco touch heaven, it is a center of latino shops.

As an alum of The Purdue Exponent ( Photo Editor 1980ish ) this makes me so happy. Purdue doesn’t have a journalism school and lots of the staffing is done by students in STEM fields. This is the way to show up!
I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into scist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town. Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming. Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance.

We still need this:
* T. Greg Doucette for NC Senate Day 4: Police Malpractice Insurance According to a July 2015 story in the Wall Street Journal, taxpayers in just 10 cities had to pay out $248,700,000.00 in settlements and judgments for misconduct by their police officers. And that was in one single year. Over the five-year period studied by WSJ, the amount of tax money paid for police brutality cases - in just those 10 cities - was over $1,400,000,000.00+ (yes, that's $1.4 billion-with-a-B dollars). People who choose to work in heavily regulated industries, like doctors or lawyers, often have individual malpractice insurance in case they get sued for misconduct. A growing number of cities now require each individual police officer to have his or her own insurance policy for the same reason: to ensure taxpayers aren't left paying the bill if an officer knowingly violates someone's constitutional rights. North Carolina should save your money by joining these cities and requiring similar malpractice policies statewide. ********* From Facebook
