Hourly reminder to make sure you are registered to vote.

I don't care if you registered literally today, check it and make sure. Check it everyday until election day if you have to. They're going to try to pull tricks on you and kick you off.

If you live in Texas, you can check here, all you need is your date of birth and any one of Texas divers license number, voter ID number, or your name, date of birth, and county you live in:

https://teamrv-mvp.sos.texas.gov/MVP/mvp.do

Again if you live in Texas, check your registration. Find your voter registration card and make sure it is in a safe, dry place. Look up your polling place (it may have changed since last year, as mine has) and have the location written down ahead of time.

If you are not registered, the deadline to register for the 2024 General Election is Monday, October 7th, 2024.

Texas does not do day of election registration.

Early voting in Texas begins Monday, October 21st, 2024.

Your vote is private. No one can know who you voted for, only that you voted.

trump almost got fatally shot in the head a little over a month ago and it's already totally flushed out of the news cycle. nothing happened as a direct result and nobody cares. it's so funny to me

[m0thmancore]

the funniest part of the whole situation was republicans clearly banking on him being a martyr and then a week later biden dropped out and everyone just completely forgot trump got shot at. people talked abt it for like 4 days and then it left the zeitgeist

This footage of Elmo after messing up a take on Sesame Street is peak relatable

[sleepy-shark]

In Elmo’s voice: “I only had three lines!”

[mydesignispeople]

Okay but please watch the whole video. It’s just over a minute.

1. Robin Williams making off-the-cuff jokes that are definitely not Sesame Street appropriate.

2. The slow zoom in on Elmo’s face at the end.

3. Robin Williams

Robins Williams’ laughter in the background is the most heartwarming, mood lifting thing I have ever heard.

What to know about this summer’s major surge in COVID infections

As summer winds down, much of the U.S. is seeing the biggest COVID wave in at least two years, and hundreds of people are still being killed

TAKEAWAYS:

We are in the biggest Covid surge in the US in at least two years

Time to wear a mask in crowded spaces (personally, I'd recommend one in all indoor public spaces and crowded outdoor spaces)

Immunity has waned and the new variant is 'distinctly more challenging to our immune system'

Updated boosters should be available the week of September 1st

The US needs to invest more in nasal vaccine programs, and should have already - this is the thing that could help actually get us out of the woods.

We are continuing to see more folks develop Long Covid even from mild infections

You should just read the article it's not that long but that's the run down

i'm not the first person to note this, but imane khelif, in addition to winning a gold in boxing, has also managed the superhuman feat of getting jk rowling to shut the fuck up. i think the ioc should give her another medal.

[thebrideofcaliban]

The first thing Harris should do after she's sworn in is give Khelif the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

I think things like this end up exposing the straight lines this view takes. Vance is like, obviously a White Birthrate Guy, and half the coverage of his run has been dedicated to how much he fucking loathes (presumably white) childless people. But like, as can be seen clearly here, Birthrate Guys don't really care about the copious amounts of kids they have. Because that's not the point of the ideology - the point is using these children to breed more (white) children, and thus "out-breed" the Other. Why give a shit about listening to your kids interests - here he is, publicly disparaging one of his sons on a podcast, because he interrupted him on a phone call. I wouldn't say that telling your kid to "shut the hell up" when he's trying to talk to you about something he enjoys is like, good parenting or whatever. But besides that, being a Birthrate Guy dedicated to pumping out as many White Babies as possible just is a straight line from what's currently in vogue with conservatives and white nationalists in the Anglosphere - full, unending control of your kids. Look at the growing homeschool movement talking about "not co-parenting your kids with the State". Look at the demands that schools communicate every choice a child makes to their parents. Look at the push to ban transgender existence in schools! Look at the push to remove transgender and "woke" teachers from classrooms! They don't want kids! They don't want human beings! They want tools! And luckily for them, the entire concept of the Family has been centered on giving them tools instead of children - of course they're not people, they're a constructed class without any rights whatsoever, and what little time they get away from their parents is now under an insane culture war siege. It's all connected!

[biglawbear]

It is all connected. It even has a name: the quiverfull movement. It's a Christian white nationalist movement that advocates for more children solely to be "arrows in the quiver" for them.

ohio removed 160000 inactive voter registrations

Search for yourself here: https://registrationreadiness.ohiosos.gov Voter registration:

[willowdove]

THIS IS URGENT!!! IF YOU HAVE BEEN REMOVED YOU ONLY HAVE 2 DAYS TO REMEDY THIS!!!

Please, no matter where you are, if you are a US citizen check your voter registration. If you live in Ohio, this blatant attempt at voter suppression will be final on 7/22/24. This number represents 1 in every 50 registered voters in the state. They are- allegedly- purging everyone who has been inactive for 4 years. Which in of itself is farcical, because plenty of people only vote every 4 years in the Presidential. But I have seen people say they’ve been incredibly active and voted in the most recent local elections and still been purged. Please, do not delay in checking. If you have been removed, register again right away or you will not have a vote in November.

[tuttle-did-it]

America. America. Please. Register to vote and keep the fascist dictator out. Please. And if you’re already registered, check to make sure you were not removed.

We’re rooting for you. We’re depending on you. Every one of his followers are going to show up to those polls. You have to keep this man out of office.

We’re pleading with you to make the right choice.

-signed, the rest of the world.

Saying "voting doesn't matter" might reach your younger peers online but it certainly hasn't reached Clangus Hargbarg who was part of the kkk in 1951 and still sends in his ballot. He hasn't missed a one.
