Hello. They are going to try to fuck with your vote, and we are NOT going to let them. Last week I pinged my friend Dana Chisnell, who knows how elections work, and said "Hey, let’s make it hard for them to fuck with us.” Today, we are very proud to announce the HOW TO VOTE zine.

Random note; since my dad passed away last December, I’ve been handling all of my mom’s mail and accounts. It is incredible. How many scams are aimed at the elderly in this country, including my companies that superficially seem legitimate. Every week her mail is full of this crap.

A lot of horrible things going on, but:
Last week the Curiosity rover reached a couple noteworthy milestones 1) 5000 Sols on Mars and 2) 1km of elevation gain.
A testament to what our innovation and determination can accomplish, when we’re not busy hacking our own country and planet to bits.

Good luck to Putin if he ever tries to push this official out of a window.

The head of Rossotrudnichestvo, Igor Chaika, attempted to downplay Russia's deteriorating relationship with Armenia today, but admitted that "there are ups and downs."
The admission comes as Russia's influence in the Caucasus wanes due to the war in Ukraine.
