@obtener Because an eclipse is fun and not damaging and we like to think about it, and climate change is not fun and very damaging and we don’t like to think about it.

“It is the result of heedless gerrymandering out in the states, the massive amount of unregulated money that overwhelmed the ability of the national party to maintain any sort of discipline, and the steady and irreversible progress of the prion disease that has afflicted conservatism since Ronald Reagan first fed it the monkey brains back in the late 1970s.” 🔥

I say to this wing of the MAGA: If you love Putin so much, you can move to Russia right now. We won’t stop you. In fact we’ll buy you the plane ticket. GTFO.

We're extremely excited about our groundbreaking new voter contact tool! It's been found to be twice as effective as traditional canvassing, and more effective than TV ads, yard signs or phonebanking. This simple tool could shift the outcome of the 2024 election, so help us get Neighbor2Neighbor out to as many volunteers as possible before November: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/majority-over-maga?refcode=mastodon20240407directpost&source=mastodon

“A paradigm shift in how we view and address the transmission of respiratory infectious diseases is underway. Airborne transmission in both the near-fields and the far-fields is a crucial, if not dominant, exposure pathway for SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory viruses. Laboratory, field, modelling, and case studies have shown that airborne transmission through the inhalation of a virus-laden aerosol is important, if not dominant, for COVID-19.”

Good morning to readers, Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.

But in Andriivka, an accused collaborator still walks amongst his neighbors.

Meet Mykola, a man claiming to be a monk, who allegedly helped the Russians when they occupied his village.

We went there to track him down.

Okay, so TRUMP says he’s going to raise $50 million tonight. @msnbc and most of the media keeps repeating it. It’s astonishing, because the entire story is based on nothing but hot air coming from the Trump campaign.

This is some bullshit.
The lack of a date is a clerical error — the kind that courts fix up after the fact all the time.

And the Civil Rights Act doesn’t just you the right to submit a ballot only to have your vote rejected for clerical errors. It gives the right to “vote” period.

@emptywheel “NYT claims — apparently intending this to be a serious explanation — that Trump stopped trying to buy Cohen’s silence with a pardon and payments for a lawyer because of concerns about witness tampering.”

Are we absolutely sure the NYT isn’t pulling an elaborate April Fools prank here?

Those who follow me on The Bad Place have heard me repeat this a thousand times, but once more won't hurt.

Election security is incredibly complex, full of seemingly impossible tradeoffs. But disinformation about supposed "rigged" elections is perhaps the most serious threat to election integrity today.

The best defense is to learn how elections actualy work! Becoming a poll worker is a great way to do that

Also, this National Academies study is a terrific resource:

@YetAnotherGeekGuy @hakfoo @mattblaze So here we are taking only about the checkin process. The voting process is separate (and you can choose different combinations).

I am a fan of having hand marked paper ballots as an option for voters, as they eliminate the specific concern you mention.
