There’s been a change on when your mail will receive a postmark. Until 12/24 of this year it was when you dropped off your letter. Now it’s when a machine processes your mail which could be days later. This has implications for time sensitive mail including vote by mail! There are ways around it!

[To] CBP_PRA@cbp.dhs.gov [Subject] OMB Control Number 1651-0111 U.S. Customs and Border Protection proposal I'm writing as an individual to comment on OMB Control Number 1651-0111 U.S. Customs and Border Protection proposal “Agency Information Collection Activities; Revision; Arrival and Departure Record (Form I-94) and Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA).” I am an occasional visitor to various parts of Europe, either for work or for vacation. And when foreign colleagues and friends come to visit the Chicago area, I like to show of the joys of life in my city and in the United States. I’m proud of my country. I oppose newly proposed changes 3. Mandatory Social Media and 4. High Value Data Elements. They should be completely erased from the proposed rules. The changes are burdensome and invasive. Five years of social media? Family member names, telephone numbers, birth dates, residencies? These new demands will cut off Americans from their families in the ESTA approved areas like the EU, Britain, and Japan. And the rules will deter tourists from these nations, hurting our economy and US prestige across the world. For example, the 2026 World Cup in the USA was supposed to be a huge financial boost for the USA. These changes will cut off tourists and their spending, while still saddling the USA with the costs of hosting. The rules are also vague and overly broad. How does a visitor provide 5 years of social media? What if all of their accounts are set to private? What on social media would block entry into the USA? This will also invite those nations to retaliate with equally odious rules on American visitors. This also increases the USCBP’s workload, keeping them from work that actually protects the nation. Please rescind these proposed changes.

Writing an Effective Comment • State your personal and/or professional connection to the issue, including any relevant credentials. o Agencies give more weight to comments from individuals and organizations with relevant experience and expertise. • Clearly state the issue(s) within the proposed rule you are commenting upon. o You are not required to comment on all areas of a proposed rule. If there is a particular element you feel strongly about, you can comment on just that. o If commenting on a specific word, phrase, sentence or section, include the page number or other details from the Federal Register document to ensure the agency knows exactly what you’re referring to. You can access the Federal Register document by downloading the file at the bottom of the page where the proposed rule is posted on Regulations.gov. • If an element of the proposal is unclear, note where the final rule needs clarification. • If you disagree with a proposal, consider proposing an alternative. o Agencies may provide options and ask respondents to select one for the final rule, but you may also suggest another option if you feel it would be more effective. • Provide your reasoning, whether in support of or against a proposal. o Agencies more heavily weight comments that provide justification and support. o Include qualitative or quantitative data if possible and available. o Offer examples of how the proposal would impact you positively or negatively. • Be concise. o You do not need to write a long comment l…

I made a Chrome extension that swaps Times New Roman for Calibri on every site or just .gov. It also had Open Sans and Open Dyslexic, because f**k these people.

I’m waiting for Google’s approval for it to install automatically, but you can download it and install it in 90 seconds. Instructions 👇

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".
Bronze plaque saying "A Letter to the Future. Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it. August 2019. 415ppm CO2"

You know a country by its values. By what a country values. And it turns out thatwhat a country values can change overtime. Sometimes, though, there's a sort of cognitive delay between the country you think you are in, and the country you've actually become. For example, you can keep selling yourself, to foreigners, as the country of William Shakespeare and Jane Austen, and luring busloads of tourists to Stratford-upon-Avon and Bath, and put a statue of George Orwell in front of the BBC, and imagine yourself a cultured and literate nation, which the rest of the world admires for its devotion to the written word - but if you then chronically underfund your cultural institutions, and treat your cultural workers with contempt, many people will suspect you of being full of it. And as the decades pass - and fewer and fewer Shakespeares and Austens and Orwells emerge from your little island - even more people will begin to suspect that in truth you do not value culture at all, and are in fact running a giant heritage museum in which the only cultural workers you respect are the dead ones.

Went to see Tron: Ares with hubby, was hesitant.
Very pleasantly surprised at how fun it was, NIN did a great job with the soundtrack, visuals were excellent, storyline is NOT what you see in the trailers. Few minor plot holes, no bigees.
Definitely a pay matinee 2 see in a big screen
