I need to be able to pass a background check to keep my day job. Since this app is no longer filtering CSAM, using this app may cost me my job (and my family and freedom). I will not be accepting that risk. Follow me elsewhere if you wish. Details in screenshots.

Which, why should it? If an elections official starts harassing or intimidating other elections officials, shouldn't they be prosecuted? Being elected/employed/selected as an election worker shouldn't give you a license to intimidate.

In the amended filing, she no longer argues SB406 doesn't define "election worker" (she still struggles between the singular and the plural) — instead, she argues the bill fails to define the protected class in a way which protects the class from prosecution.

Observant piece by the indomitable @DavidColborne And, although not entirely actuate, there is a specific point that is 🔑 - sometimes process is just that 🤔. “Doing” is harder than it looks. thenevadaindependent.com/article/two-we…

@BobMooreNV Also, for operational security reasons, every employee (esp. if they deal with goods or money) should be out of the office for at least two weeks anyway, if for no other reason than to provide fresh eyes on whatever processes you regularly participate in.

Uncomfortable truth: Having "use it or lose it" at the end of the year is not a badge of honor. It's a standing question abt your priorities. Take your annual leave & don't feel guilty about it. You have to recharge to be the best person you can be for your family & friends.

I've been joking around about this, but the way you can tell the Supreme Court corruption scandal is genuinely scandalous and genuinely corrupt is by following the logic of their own jurisprudence on public corruption issues.

"TOP STORY - EDITORIAL: Lawmakers should pass public financing for A’s stadium" This is a real alert that was sent out. A TOP STORY is an EDITORIAL embracing the A's public money deal.

I've lived a lot of places, but old men meeting in a diner (or any place that serves coffee and eggs) to loudly complain about "the problem with the world today..." is ubiquitous. I look forward to joining them.

The majority of human beings cannot fully go far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. This sounds incredible to those who can, but I'm pretty sure it's true.

In my latest for @TheNVIndy, I explain why, if the members of Douglas County’s school board want to serve as partisans in partisan political offices, chasing every hot-button issue as it surfaces in whatever media they consume, they should resign and run for a partisan office.

Oof! Maybe the City's biggest ratio-ing to date...and that's saying a lot for a City that has spent millions creating an all-in "shelter" without walls as their solo solve for homelessness.

Imagine being able to take a Tesla underground through a tunnel with stops at the airport, hotels and downtown. This isn’t something from some futuristic sci-fi movie. It’s the Vegas Loop, and it could become a reality in Las Vegas. Ride along with us: youtu.be/dyZ4Ov7GDRA
