NEW: The North Carolina State Board of Elections announces it has removed over 700,000 ineligible voters from the rolls since last year. The news comes amid a pending lawsuit from the RNC claiming the board improperly allowed 225,000 others to register.https://t.co/l3DauDi1SP

Just to show how MASSIVE of a move removing 747K voters is: Obama won NC in 2008 by ~14K votes & Biden lost in 2020 by ~75K… https://t.co/NvlltuGYmR pic.twitter.com/GDQjQ0vJBT

The calm, grown-up take is that “the country will be okay no matter who wins the election”. Normally that’s true. But we can also point to moments in history where that wasn’t true. I think it’s just as reasonable to ask “What if we break something that can’t be easily unbroken?”

CompuServe was launched on 9/24/79

CompuServe was launched on September 24, 1979. I started using CompuServe in 1984. I used an Atari 800 computer with a 300-baud modem. It cost $16 an hour.

I thought it was great. For example, I am an Orioles fan. If they played a night game in Seattle, the box score would not be in the next morning’s paper. However, I could go on CompuServe about 1/2 hour after the game was over and see the box score.

Misleading ABC News tweet

This is so frustrating. The article is fine but the tweet leaves out important stuff. The media helps Trump when their tweets don’t challenge his lies.

You should replace this tweet with the more accurate one below. https://t.co/BeDlRm9j69

Tweet with great Zack Greinke story

Zack Greinke is a baseball pitcher who, to understate it, is eccentric. This is a great story.

Republicans want seniors and children to work because of a labor shortage

A current labor shortage will be exacerbated if Trump wins and deports millions of immigrants. Where to get workers?

Relax child labor laws that protect kids.

Accelerate possible cuts in Social Security by reducing taxes – this would force some seniors to work.

Disgusting ideas.

Trump's advisors have said that they see accelerating the bankruptcy of Social Security as *part of their plan* because they want to get senior citizens into the workforce to replace the immigrants they're planning to deport. https://t.co/hQOqO3R0Um

The number of minors employed in violation of child labor laws increased 37% in the last year.

Remarkably, this year, legislators in 6 states have proposed 8 bills that make it easier to exploit kids for profit.

Can anyone tell me if “employing over 100 children as young as 13 years old in violation of US labor laws” is bad?

A major child labor rollback goes into effect in Iowa this weekend.

14 year-olds are now allowed to work in meat coolers, 15 year-olds can join assembly lines and 16 year-olds can serve alcohol.

In a few weeks, similar rollbacks take effect in Arkansas. https://t.co/Dp1zvJggXV pic.twitter.com/GfktQsxrdW

Peter Green – the first leader of Fleetwood Mac

The verison of Fleetwood Mac that became popular in the late 1970s was very different than the original version which was a blues band led by Peter Green.

I saw Fleetwood Mac in 1971 – they weren’t a blues band anymore but hadn’t morphed into the popular version yet. The lead singers were Christine McVie and Bob Welch.
