Thought it was a bit paranoid when I kept this originally, but damned if this isn't validation: twitter.com/nytimes/status
Trump claims repeatedly without basis that mail in votes will result in the election being stolen and now this, huh? Self fulfilling prophecy, I guess.

A federal appeals court ruled on Thursday that Minnesota election officials may not accept any ballots that arrive after 8 p.m. on Election Day, reversing the state’s seven-day grace period that had been in place for ballots postmarked by Nov. 3.

This scene/quote has popped into my head a lot lately:

He has a point, there.😆

Not sure whose idea this was, but I look forward to The Ready Room episode every week after watching the latest episode. It's so fun to learn more about the awesome folks that are part of this new show, and is a great host.

Code duplication reduction via the boy scout rule with some good risk management pragmatism for good measure.🎯

Wow, amazing to see the team behind this pushing the limits of animation up to ludicrous speed! (even if that's probably crazy🤪) Also, great timing since I was just about to subscribe to for the Picard show!

Since I hinted a couple weeks ago that I was "really busy" I want to encourage everyone to watch the opening monologue on tonight's episode of The Late Show. I am confident you'll be entertained.

No wait, found it: youtube.com/watch?v=-AgXqM I just thought it was great to see this caring dad do something creative and expressive with his daughter and that stuck with me. It's one way I find working on creative tools so rewarding.

Can't find the link but remember an early post where he was using Ch to make a puppet with/for his kid and it totally made my day. Love seeing this community of streamers grow. Wish I had a bigger amp, but a retweet will have to do. Love the heart behind this, too.

On Twitch I use #chracteranimator to play the part of an absurd mythological beast but I also try to leave some good in my wake. Groups like the Matrix Guard are trying to offset the negative effects of social media and I have decided to join them.

Happy to see this budding sub-community of Twitch folks networking. Seems worth a retweet of encouragement.

Related to my previous retweet, this one still makes me laugh, too: giphy.com/gifs/cat-panda
This gave me a good chuckle just now. I remember the first time I used vi (and didn't know how to exit) almost 25 years ago. If you had told me right then I would still be using a variant of that editor today (and liking it), I would not have believed you. (:q!)

Funny, apparently having an off day with customer service computer systems. Found several annoyances in this form trying to post a "thank you" message related to service experience at cub.com/about/customer (worked around those, though)

I think I've mentioned before that I have a fondness for stop motion animation. Here's one that does not disappoint: vimeo.com/345922827 (the making of video linked in the description is also worth watching)
Impressed with the quick execution by @mrcazzler//@Scribbleh on a replacement mechanism for #CharacterAnimator triggering on Twitch. This deserves to be owned by this small but enthusiastic (and growing) community. I look forward to seeing where that leads.

Whoa. I know I've said before that I wouldn't subscribe to a streaming service for one show, but I might have to make an exception for this one.

Thanks to Chicago for being a fun part of our based week of fun. We really enjoyed The Heist room (finished with just minutes to spare).
Turns out the M stands for mismanagement, unfortunately.

Reminded that the Microsoft ebook store closes next week. The DRM'd books will stop working.
I cannot believe that sentence.
"The books will stop working."
I keep saying it and it sounds worse each time.

Wow, what an amazing legacy to leave behind (there are some real gems in his list of Star Trek writing credits):
