AP: Washington state governor says he has activated the National Guard as a precautionary measure ahead of Election Day
Washington state Gov. Jay Inslee has activated some Washington National Guard members to be on standby in the event they are asked to support local law enforcement and the Washington State Patrol during election week.
Inslee said in a news release on Friday that the activation is a precautionary measure taken in response to incidents in October in which incendiary devices were set off on ballot drop boxes in Vancouver, Washington, and in Portland, Oregon.
He also cited U.S. Department of Homeland Security warnings of threats to election infrastructure during the 2024 election cycle as a reason for the measure. His order activates as many members of the Washington National Guard as determined necessary for up to four days, beginning Monday and ending at 12:01 a.m. on Nov. 8.

When you rely on a nepobaby, cryptofascist, bigot, eugenicist to create transportation in service of the public, you can't expect a shred of focus on accessibility.
What an ableist piece of shit.

Bye, Felicia!
Jeff Bezos is moving from Seattle to MAGA-state Miami.
He and his fiancée Lauren Sánchez bought neighboring mansions for a combined $144 million in “Billionaire Bunker” neighborhood Biscayne Bay.
Matching Florida Man-and-Woman-sions. How fucking romantic.

Over the years at work, I kept hearing men complaining about having to wear ties.
I finally came up with my favorite response:
"I dunno, you guys control the world. Figure it out."

9/16/2023, from Fortune:
Headline: COVID levels are so high, they’re hovering near 2020’s initial peak, as the WHO urges those at high risk to take any booster they can get their hands on
"A forecast issued this week by Jay Weiland, a leading COVID modeler, came to the same conclusions. On Thursday, Weiland estimated that 650,000 Americans are becoming infected daily, with 1 in 51 Americans currently infected with COVID."

The fediverse is shouting about it. The strike is on! Looks like there'll be a ramp up based on how negotiations go. This morning begins with 13,000 workers on strike with the possibility of workers from more sectors joining later. Could become largest strike in US history.

Germantown, TN, USA, has been without potable water for the past week due to a diesel fuel spill in their municipal water supply.
Residents have been suffering through temps approaching 100 degrees without readily available drinking water.
But some enterprising Karen thinks she can convince a water delivery company to donate water to fill her swimming pool in exchange for feel-good TV coverage.
