In March I wrote about the issue of certification for Rolling Stone, noting that election denial officials had refused to certify election results 15 times in eight states since 2020. Since then, the phenomenon has grown in prominence. www.american-doom.com/p/breaking-r...

Washoe County is the most pivotal county in the swing state of Nevada. Yesterday, election deniers there refused to certify election results, paving the way for conspiracist officials across the country to do the same in November. www.american-doom.com/p/breaking-r...

Reminds me of my (granted, almost socialist) grandmother who had a lifelong dislike of Frank Llyod Wright because he was rude at a symphony (refused to take his hat off when sitting in front of her). From what I understand about his personal history, she wasn't wrong.

this is Rolling Stone’s inside look at how Trump has been trying to recruit different rappers to meet with him, do events with him, maybe even endorse him for 2024. It’s a surprisingly broad effort and yes it does include the Fyre Fest guy, somehow

Every day there's another headline about Mississippi, I think back to the time I called it a "deeply messed up place" on Twitter (I think after news broke about a vicious cop gang), and a local editor was like, "uhhh miss me with that regional privilege."
