A reminder, because it is almost that time of year: More children are killed by cars on Halloween than any other day of the year, by far. www.vox.com/future-perfe... If you're a parent, I hope you'll do what you can to keep kids safe. If you're driving on Saturday, PLEASE exercise extra caution.

Regular reminder that when you go to things while sick, you are giving those germs to people with autoimmune disorders, you’re passing them to someone’s newborn, to someone’s elderly parents. It’s “just a cold” to you but it can and does severely impact countless people.

I want to scream at campaigns that all they're doing is pissing people off. There are much better uses for campaign funds.

Voters are receiving so many political texts, calls and mailers that some are reconsidering ever donating to a campaign again “I must get at least 10-20 texts A DAY from literally every single candidate in the country," a Colorado voter said. "It makes me never want to make a contribution again"

I am beyond obsessed with the maple biscuits from Pillsbury. If you see them and are curious, I highly suggest giving them a try. :) No, I'm not paid for this. I just like helping people find tasty things.

My older neighbors ask me regularly why I'm so against tech, especially because I worked in the industry for years. The things devices can do is mind boggling, and we try to keep our house as "dumb" as possible because of it.

I didn't know this. I'm glad other states have been able to pass RCV. I'm still really mad at @coloradodems.org for not supporting it when it was on the ballot. I can only hope that it makes the ballot again, and that the dems stop their nonsense.

This article contains no mention of the fact that Alaska uses ranked choice voting, which I think is important for people to know because THERE IS NO SPOILER EFFECT IN ALASKA. Anyone who doesn't want the Democrat to win can just rank both Dan Sullivans. The votes of the other Dan will go to Dan.

Absolutely true. My childhood was incredibly similar to Amy Acton's, and my mom continued to torment me until the day she died. She went out of her way to hurt me as much as possible because she was mad. Nothing was my fault, but kids are easy targets for people with no morals.

Nicole Bedera@nbedera.bsky.social

I don’t even have words for the Acton ad. Survivors live in fear of their abusers—or those who enable them—harming them again. And for good reason. Abusers offered that platform will take it, no matter how many years have passed.
