oh is it monday

A two panel screenshot from The Good Place where Janet is speaking to Chidi while Michael stands behind her. 

In the first panel she's holding up a finger, grinning, and saying, "Fun fact: Columbus in the Bad Place" 

In the second panel she's saying, "Because of all the raping, slave trade, and genocide."

In a quick break from the normal sweary rants, this:

The lady at the charity shop today told me that she wishes people would clear out their children's old toys in the lead up to Christmas rather than after because she always sees a number of parents in the days before Christmas looking for toys for their little ones who might be strapped for cash. She said there's very rarely anything in just before, but that they get inundated with toys in the days after.
And it really made me think about it in a way I never would have before.
If you know your child is going to get lots of presents from father Christmas this year, by clearing out your cupboards a few days early you could make another child's Christmas a lot more special too.
Saw this & thought l'd repost

Commentary: Researchers have found many people share conspiracies who don’t believe them. They are opportunists who share them to promote conflict, cause chaos, recruit and radicalize potential followers, make money, harass, or even just to get attention.

Did you know that there was a mental help line just for people going through a disaster? Natural disasters as well as "incidents of community unrest." I didn't. But I'm glad to know of it now. www.samhsa.gov/find-help/di...

Ohioans will be voting on Issue 1 this November — a redistricting proposal that would remove politicians from the process in favor of a citizen commission to draw district maps. We answer reader questions about the proposed amendment.

OK...the NWS Bot collection is now fully populated and ready to go. I'm sure bugs will come up along the way, but I think it is 95%+ stable. There's an index page at nws-bot.us including a map (borrowed from NWS) to find the right bot for the area you want to follow.

Shout out to the good folks at Blue Ridge Public Radio (based in Asheville, NC). They’ve battled power outages in the past 48hrs but have stayed on the air throughout most of the storm and flooding. If you live in western North Carolina, they’re a great resource for news and emergency info.

Update from Ashville, NC as of 11:31 on Friday, 9/27

I'm here in the Canton/Asheville, NC area. All cell service is down, home phones, etc. Almost nowhere has power. We have been working our tails off trying to get mobile generators up to cell towers in hopes of restoring as much cell coverage as we can.  After several were connected to the towers we found out the entire data system for this area has been knocked out and we're landlocked on all sides due to landslides, interstates and all roads inand out of the area are blocked or washed away. I'm sitting at a fire department in their parking lot to get service from their cell tower that has a satellite data backup system. We're doing our absolute best but everything we're doing is failing right now.
