Something interesting you might not have realized: a number of words in English are NOUNS when you stress the FIRST syllable, but VERBS when you stress the SECOND syllable.
"Your CONduct is better when you conDUCT yourself appropriately.”

Yeesh I hate being repetitive, and yet...
It's time once again to remind my fellow Americans that there is no mechanism whereby state run elections can be suspended or canceled by the federal government. None. So don't go along with any garbage you hear to that effect. Laugh, and get ready to vote.

I see OpenAI are now "betting big" on audio. Once again a tech company is claiming voice-to-text will replace the keyboard. It won't. It's for bigshot CEO types dictating their bullshit into the ether. Voice-to-text is, and will forever remain, a frustrating medium for any kind of detail work.

‘Cleave’ can refer to splitting something apart.
‘Cleave’ can also refer to the uniting of two things.
…what?
A word that is also its own opposite is called a ‘contronym.’

read someone say recently that the internet has moved away from group participation to passive consumption. i think that's broadly true - but also feel that anyone believing that the internet of 1999-2013 was broadly this bastion of radical possibility was not spending much time on the internet then

There is no mechanism afforded to the Executive branch to delay, postpone, or cancel national elections.
Congress can create *some* flexibility and the states also have *some* flexibility but the Constitution REQUIRES certain dates be adhered to.
If Nov 8, 1864 can happen, all elections can happen.
