Beau on spurious correlations (the one I always trot out is that the number of teachers in the United States correlates very strongly indeed to the number of alcoholics in the United States – because both correlate to total population.)

Earth Day – “Trash TV” – Every time this video is watched, it will fund the removal of one piece of plastic from the ocean. I don’t know for sure if that is true for embeds, but you can always click through just in case.

LPLP – “Welcome home, Rattler! Michael “Rattler” Markus, “who served during the NoDAPL protests as an Akicita (defender), positioned between police and water protectors to keep everybody safe, was arrested in February of 2017. He subsequently accepted a plea to a civil disorder charge stemming from his presence on Oct. 27, 2016 — when law enforcement assaulted unarmed water protectors with sound cannons, tasers, bean bags, rubber bullets, and pepper spray.” Sprry about the spring plains wind, which can be heard throughiut.

IMPORTANT This is long, but if you watch even a little, you are likely to learn something you didn’t know (but may have suspected.) There’s even more news available because, of all people, archaeologists have been telling some tales. Google “Dimona” (or “archaeologists Dimona”) for that. I apologize that the CC is less than perfect, but it’s pretty close.

Georgia Voting Law – unbelievable.

From yesterday – no one is more moving to me than the King family members. (And there’s no ad at the end, so it’s all good)

My bestie in Florida is probably beating her head against the wall in frustration – she knew all this for years At least she says she’s safe (her home)

VoteVets – held over from yesterday because the last thing we needed on Easter was more Gaetzgate.

Now This News … How petty… How Republican.

Now This News – Infrastructure Plan, Readers Digest version. No, it’s not enough, but it’s a heck of a good start.

Really American, now crediting Chip Franklin (makes sense to me)

OwlKitty vs. Godzilla. Short dialog at the beginning: “We need OwlKitty to stop what’s coming.” After that, just some sound effects and a little purring.

How could I post a video thread today with out a prank? And this one is epic – an epic fail, that is.

PHP is a programming language used to build websites. We have it at all through our hosting partner, BlueHost. In order to update it, we have to go through Bluehost. During his life, TomCat was the only one who had access to our account there. I (JD) am now the only one. I have been to BlueHost and investigated updating our PHP to 8.3 or even to 8.1. I found instructions to do so - in fact, I found two conflicting sets of instructions. I went through one set of the steps and got the message that Our site could not handle 8.3, but that it had successfully updated to 8.1. I then went back here to see what it looked like. But I couldn't get in - either as an administrator or as a reader. It was just gone. I had to reach BlueHost by phone. It was determined that Politics Plus is in fact not compatible with any version of PHP newer than the one we have. BlueHost therefore uninstalled it for me, and the site came back to normal. Of course, like everyone else, I care about security. But I also am aware that TomCat elected to use different providers for several of the services that BlueHost provides, for instance backups. We are backed up daily - but not by BlueHost. However, out PHP is through Bluehost. I feel that if they are not worried about the older version, I am not going to worry about it. I believe that our security here is all or mostly through WordFence, whom I trust.
