Wisconsin residents are receiving text messages from a (202) D.C. area code, falsely urging them not to vote in the upcoming election. These messages are not legitimate. Here is the last version of the text used in the presidential election: ‘WARNING: Violating WI Statutes 12.13 & 6.18 may result in fines up to $10,000 or 3.5 years in prison. Don’t vote in a state where you’re not eligible.’ Similar messages are circulating again now. These are scare tactics and are not legal in the United States. We’d like to request that these texts be investigated. We encourage all Americans to make their voices heard—your vote counts!

So if you call 202-647-4000 and press 4, you'll get an operator. Ask to be transferred to the comment line.

Once you get another recording (and it's a long one with a lot of options), press 8 to go the comment line for the State Dept. and can tell Marco Rubio that a racist like Darren Beattie should not be given any kind of position in the State Dept.

I may do it once a day, if I can manage.

AMERICANS -- IMPORTANT ACTION:

IMPORTANT!

"Urge your Representative to call on VP Harris to publish the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to enshrine gender equality in our Constitution. The ERA cleared the threshold for ratification by 38 states during Trump’s first term, but because of Republican opposition and legal debates about the process, the National Archivist has yet to formally publish and certify the ERA as the 28th Amendment. By publishing the ERA, the Biden-Harris Administration can put guardrails on the incoming Trump Administration and provide a critical tool for combating discrimination against women, girls, and LGBTQ+ people nationwide."

Just saw this: “Television producer Alan Sacks died October 22 following a battle with lymphoma. He was 81. Sacks is best known for co-creating 1970s sitcom “Welcome Back, Kotter,” and later executive produced projects for Disney Channel.”

I was Alan’s assistant for a brief time when he had a development deal with Charles Fries Productions. This would have been somewhere around 1979 or 1980. We were a poor match. He was demanding and neurotic and probably feeling the pressure of trying to come up with another hit show. Not a lot of fun to work for. I can’t say this news makes me sad, exactly, but it’s a marker of the passage of time and of my past. FWIW.

Stopped at a light behind a car that had two stickers on the back: “Functional Stoner” and one with the Federation symbol “Have your Tribble Spayed or Neutered”. I tried to grab a photo, but the light changed.

Raven came by for a drink again this afternoon.

Stormy Daniels is an awesome troll-master. No more needs to be said.
