I think a lot of folks are interpreting this as Florida directly challenging the authority of the federal government. That’s not what this is - the federal government doesn’t have a role in federal elections. It makes sense if you think about it - the founding fathers decided the temptation to meddle would be too great and limited it in the constitution.

Today's lesson is that #inotify is a Linux 🐧 construct and in BSD land 👹 monitoring the file system is part of #kqueues turf.

Taking money is one thing, but accepting titles of nobility from dodgy Euro monarchists is expressly forbidden by the US constitution unless Congress approves. And yet self-scourging Opus Dei dude Alito could not resist a knighthood.
Utterly shameful behaviour at the US National Archives as anything remotely confronting to white Americans seems to be being purged from the public national record. Whitewashing history is a shockingly regressive step.
To clarify this, we're talking public display and education. As far as I know, they're not removing items from the archives themselves, although if Trump wins that level of cultural vandalism wouldn't surprise me.

Many people describe prediction markets as a form of wisdom of the crowd. Polymarket has been favoring Trump to win (58% likelihood) but it turns out a lot of that is driven by a single French user who has bet $30 million on Trump winning.
The best part is the bettor is anonymous because they’re hiding their wealth from their friends and children.
Wisdom of the crowd? More like wisdom of the crypto bro.
