Meme comes back to haunt fake elector Meshawn Maddock
On May 16, 2023, Meshawn Maddock a fake elector from Michigan who thought it would be a good idea to sign her name to a phony document in an attempt to overthrow democracy in the United States, tweeted an animated GIF of a human skeleton tapping its finger with impatience.
The caption below the GIF read, "Dems waiting for my arrest"
Yesterday, Maddock was one of 15 fake electors who were arrested and charged with eight felonies: two counts of election law forgery; two counts of forgery; and one count each of uttering and publishing, conspiracy to commit forgery, conspiracy to commit election law forgery and conspiracy to commit forgery. Conspiracy to commit forgery and conspiracy to commit uttering and publishing are punishable by up to 14 years in prison.

#GOP just released doc they've claimed shows bribes were paid to #Biden. It has a few cryptic ref to payments by man who later definitively told Giuliani "no one from Burisma ever had any contacts w VP Biden" https://www.politico.com/news/2020/10/24/hunter-biden-hard-drive-lev-parnas-432108
+
- the $5 mil figure GOP called a bribe is a single offhand reference easily read as boast or even a joke
- forget proof, this is hearsay about hearsay
- guy who said it later said it wasn't true
- he is at present a fugitive from justice

The 1934 strike was a watershed moment in the history of the American labor movement. More than 6,000 workers demanded and won union recognition for Teamsters Local 574. The workers defeated the Citizens Alliance, an anti-union group of employers that controlled city government. The victory made Minneapolis a union town.

must remember that simple scalar prims (like integers, booleans, floating-points, and chars) are stack data and thus implement the "Copy" trait... this has really big implications given "the default should be immutability" safety approach taken by Rust.

not just Other Peoples' Code... having come back to rework my own code 6 months or a year later and scratched my head at my own obtuse brevity all too often, I have come to highly value explicitness in code.

excellent idiot-proofing for the type 'struct':
"Note that the entire instance must be mutable; Rust doesn’t allow us to mark only certain fields as mutable."

this is one of the coolest parts of the language #LearningRust
"The concepts of ownership, borrowing, and slices ensure memory safety in Rust programs at compile time. The Rust language gives you control over your memory usage in the same way as other systems programming languages, but having the owner of data automatically clean up that data when the owner goes out of scope means you don’t have to write and debug extra code to get this control."

@q_aurelius @mekkaokereke @georgeeyong @oscarjiminy @carnage4life I always hear about Ohio being/going red. I’m a citizen of Ohio. Ohio is red because the Republicans have gerrymandered it all to hell. The last 2 elections we voted using unconstitutional maps. Though the people had passed an amendment several years ago for fair maps the legislature ignored that. The Ohio Supreme Court said the map needed to be redrawn. That was ignored.
