see in the bottom right of this second pic it says "Alt"? If you click on the picture, it will open up and across the bottom is a text description. That's the alt text. Very helpful, particularly for vision impaired people.

Loving the pod, thanks Emma. Really enjoyed (if that's the word) Ministry and Mythago. Loved the Borodin!
and my favourite joke in ever is the ways you find to play with the premise. Why _didn't_ the fleet just emulate Wyndham and ask him? That's a great question. <3

If you can't get Plausible Deniability, turns out that in most recipes the Implausible kind works just fine.

well. hopefully. some day soon Americans will put a stop to what's being done in their name and with their resources. And fix the institutions that have been stolen from them. And visit justice on those who stole them, and are using those institutions for murder and greed.
Hopefully.

-so we know who will govern when, and for how long.
Any rules around deadlines and election day should be made from this viewpoint. To ask what is the considered will of the voters at a point in time, and reasonably promptly to be able to establish agreement on that, and appoint govt accordingly.

a point about "late" votes.
The purpose of voting is to find out who the people want running admin for them. *There is no sense* in which the right&duty to vote should have a timeliness qualifier.
The only proper point of having a single election day is convenience and consistency. In other words-

No matter how late I was up doomscrolling, it was simply impossible to convince myself I couldn't spare ten minutes (heck, five minutes) for stretches and holds on the way to bed. And I felt better and slept better.
Plus knowing this, I'd almost always do a real workout earlier in the day.

Yeah. 100% me on both points.
I set myself two rules: the amazing one "never go to bed without *some* exercise".
and the merely very good one "Every plan starts right now. If I ever think 'I should move more', stand up then and move."

To the creepy side:
1. technical term used generically. That happens. Harping on it is irrelevant _at best_.
2. This response is all appropriate to elites abusing teens. Which is a horrific crime.

My brother is more advanced than me. He'd say "I did three good hard hours of work on that today. Didn't get it done. Maybe feels like no or little progress. But I put work in, and that's what will get me there. Make a note of where I'm at, and come back tomorrow."
