Changing lights carved into the bar.
My 2nd day of 4 leading up the ‘E’ Day … trading the people turning out to canvas #KnockHarder — record canvassing turnout.
Taxi Leaks: Is The Tide Finally Turning Against Uber?
”After the two day hearing, Dinah Rose Uber’s defence council was filmed getting into a black Taxi. Obviously she isn’t stupid enough to put her own safety into the hands of one of Uber’s drivers.
30 Million Early Ballots Have Been Cast for Midterm Elections
”Forecasters aren’t predicting that overall turnout this year will hit 2016 levels (137.5 million; more than 60 percent of the electorate), but Democratic and Republican analysts, along with independent political scientists, say turnout could approach 50 percent, levels not seen for a midterm since the turbulent 1960s.
Which … as I have written about before was actually the highest mid term turnout ever.
Seriously, if less than half of the country can’t even be bothered to vote … the silence will speak volumes.
President Donald Trump Tweetstorm
” … the endlessly energetic President Donald Trump heads to Montana and Florida today for yet more gatherings.”
Endlessly energetic? He’s a couch potato.
… we’re going to need a lot more than 🍿
U.S. top court rejects Trump administration bid to halt climate trial
”U.S. Supreme Court on Friday rejected a bid by Trump’s administration to block a trial in a lawsuit filed by young activists who have accused the U.S. government of ignoring the perils of climate change.”
We are all responsible. All of us.
That is so cool … Pratchet lives on.

my thanks to @gapingvoid for the quote and the image. As usual - so very spot on.
Here’s an idea - don’t vote … be isolated and uninvolved in what is happening around you … and then at least you too can say - without any doubt:
“I am a microcosm of America.”
#swingleft #vote #choose
Can You Help … that’s what I’m doing close to full time until Tuesday night.
Thinking about that usb c change on ipads and impact on iOS devices in (say) 2 yrs.
You have a phone. When you need ‘pc mode’, slide it into a “screen/keyboard/mouse/trackpad ’station’ “ and away you go.
The stations are low cost. ‘Joe Public’ only needs one device.
Thoughts?
React.js deemed too complex and not in the ‘spirit of Wordpress’. But there is ClassicPress, an alternative to WordPress without Gutenberg & React.js
WP 5 with Gutenberg will be available this month. What do you think? Storm in a tea cup or a major fork in the road?
Today’s Questions …
1] How many people use a digital calendar … be it google, outlook, fantastical, busycal, mac calendar …?
2] Of those people how many people set up or accept meetings with other people in their calendar?
3] And of those people, how many actually ‘accept or reject’ said meetings … so that an organizer can actually have a view of who is likely to be on the call.
Today’s Observations Emerging From Today’s Questions:
1] Most
2] About 40%
3] About 15%
In other words - invite 20 people to a call … watch all 20 debate around agenda, timing and objectives through email (without anyone going to the calendar)
Expect about 8 of them to accept or reject the meeting time.
All 8 will never have an idea whether the other 12 ‘intend to attend’ and in fact on the day the call will often have an email apology or two from people that even said they would attend - they just don’t update the calendar.
I ask because this is surely one of the simplest things to do … and yet still does not happen.
Trump comment, chipmakers power Wall Street’s third day of gains … they know he lies … right?

… all good … but the click through reveals a number of Western Politicians trying it on … a world I never knew existed … thank goodness.
