I truly do think all of the "Noem out, Mullin in" posts and stories are failing American democracy right now!

Trump is announcing his nominee.

That's it.

If the Senate majority wants to confirm him, they're a part of thisβ€”even after knowing what they know now.

And that matters come November.

Discord to require video selfies or government IDs to verify all users’ ages Discord will soon require all its users worldwide to verify their ages by sharing video selfies or providing government IDs, a move that coincides with a push for age verification across social media ...

Discord users are furious about plans to require all users to verify their ages through video selfies or government ID.
"This is how Discord dies," one reddit user said. Others pointed to data breach of 70K user ID images late last year

Ankle surgery update: had my two week follow up, got the cast off and stitches/staples out. No putting weight on it for another month though, to give the microfracture procedure time to regrow cartilage.

Still very little pain, mostly my calf muscle hurts now that I'm moving my foot again.
