How long has mail-in voting been around? Historians consider the Civil War election of 1864 as the start of large-scale voting by mail in the United States. There's more mail-voting history in my 2024 report on an exhibition at the Smithsonian's National Postal Museum: www.npr.org/2024/08/24/n...

Actors love to play characters being bad at acting, to make it look like acting is hard. Whatever. I'll be impressed by your acting skill when you show me you're capable of playing an actor acting better than you can actually act. That's good acting.

"If this is what it takes to get a rom-com greenlit these days, maybe we should just let them die. Death with dignity is surely a better fate for the genre than fascist capitulation." @oldfilmsflicker.bsky.social from her zero star review of ONE NIGHT ONLY:

Good-faith concern on this issue would be going, "hmm, professional sports leagues should probably have some standards in place to ensure trans competitors aren't getting an unfair advantage," googling for 5 minutes, realizing every sports league already has those standards and dropping it.

A guy made an app that analyzes pictures of its users' poop ostensibly for health reasons. He is then turning those photos into a tagged database for AI training that he has been advertising for sale on Reddit: www.404media.co/ai-poop-anal...

I feel like the 17th century English space program run by Oliver Cromwell's brother-in-law has the potential to become a history meme
