- Comment on Wind Beat Coal Two Months in a Row for U.S. Electricity Generation 4 weeks ago:
Remember when Trump said that the noise from wind turbines caused cancer? The internet remembers.
- Comment on Flipboard is going to let you follow fediverse accounts right inside the app 5 weeks ago:
What is Flipboard?
Seriously, 4 to 6 words is all it would take.
Flipboard, a social media aggregate app, is making good on a major fediverse promise.
Is that what it is? Did I guess right?

There is a cerebral palsy anime?
- Comment on Gov. Abbott pardons Daniel Perry for 2020 fatal Black Lives Matter protest shooting after recommendation from pardons board | CNN 3 months ago:
Let me know if I got this correct.
- Perry drives his car, through a red light, into a crowd of protesters.
- After the collision, Garret Foster approaches the vehicle while legally openly carrying an AK-47
- Perry shoots and kills Foster.
- Perry’s admits that the legal weapon was not being aimed at him. In his own words "I believe he was going to aim it at me … I didn’t want to give him a chance to aim at me, you know."
- Perry has a history of "racist and inflammatory social media posts"
- Perry’s own defense team admits to him having “psychological issues, including complex post-traumatic stress disorder”
This is who Texas Governor Greg Abbott pushed to be pardoned? Is that correct?
- Comment on They're openly allowing illegal immigrants to vote in federal elections now in Arizona. 5 months ago:
I was thinking more that the documentation provided when registering to vote would be verified, not that a person would be looked up in a large centralized list.
But that was just a guess, the board of elections may just ruberstamp all requests for all I know about their processes.

This is a guess, but I am assuming that when people register to vote (since that is not automatic, but rather an opt-in right in the United States), the person’s information is sent to the local board of elections that can perform a search for the citizenship status of that individual.
I would expect the Arizona to already know if an individual is a citizen or not, so this requirement is more about preventing votes rather than securing the integrity of the voting process.
- Comment on They're openly allowing illegal immigrants to vote in federal elections now in Arizona. 5 months ago:
Only US citizens can vote in US federal elections. That is a federal restriction which is not impacted by this.
This is adding an additional requirement to show proof of citizenship before even being allowed to cast a vote.
According to this, people cannot vote for local or state level issues if they do not show a passport, birth certificate, certificate of citizenship, or other such document. Pretty sure drivers licenses and state issues IDs are not proof of citizenship, so a lot of people are probably going to be surprised when they show up and are not allowed to view for governor, state legislature, etc because they don’t have the right documentation.
This makes voting more restrictive, not less.
