Read through the voter handbook for California’s November election, and a name pops up over and over again: Alice Huffman. As leader of the California NAACP, Huffman has weighed in with positions that critics say run counter to the historic civil rights organization’s mission to advance racial equality in education, housing and criminal justice.
Should voters raise commercial property taxes to pour billions of dollars into schools? Should they make it easier for cities to pass rent control ordinances? Should California outlaw the use of cash bail?
No, no and no, Huffman argues in the ballot handbook, where she is repeatedly identified as president of the California State Conference of the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People).
What the guide doesn’t tell voters is that Huffman’s political consulting firm has been paid more than $1.2 million so far this year by ballot measure campaigns that she or the California NAACP has endorsed.
Wasn’t there a ton of civil rights organizations that came out against Net Neutrality and then it came out that tech companies had given them a lot of money?

Depending on where you live there might be someone who runs a squirrel rescue. There’s a guy in my state that does this.

Speaking of technology sucking. This article has resonated with me a lot more than I thought it would.
Over the last few days I’ve started keeping track of everything that breaks and we just take it for granted. iOS talk to text makes the weirdest mistakes imaginable that a human would never do - like once per long text. Yet we expect self-driving cars to not flub the same kinds of easy-for-humans situations.
So many websites are just so much fail. I spent three hours pulling my hair out yesterday because I clicked the eyeball to copy the client secret here:
Which reveals this:
Which I selected and copied. But nothing worked. 3 hours. Finally I noticed the little copy icon - which copies a secret that’s 50% longer (and why I’m not worried about revealing it here). 3 fucking hours.
And then I decided to watch my NewsRadio DVDs last night. I watch them every 2-3 years - which is about how often I need to buy a new DVD player. And this last one was a $90 Sony I got specifically because I figured the $40 Panasonic before it that crapped out must have been too cheap.
I tried tinkering with this one by ripping it apart with my bare hands. But to no avail.
Meanwhile my 30-year-old stereo from college looked on. Ok yes it’s solid state. But VCRs have infinitely more moving parts than DVD players, and I’ve had them last 10 years. My last one still worked when I threw it out. Or maybe I still have it in storage somewhere. I think the electronics industry has learned their lesson on making things durable.
I think we’ve lost the ability to make things that work.

DVD players are crap. I think more have stopped working on me than any other electronic device I’ve owned.
Sir, this is a low content thread. The rant thread is over there.

I’m 0/4 on getting useful info from Samsung on Twitter. Four different situations/devices. I try that route bc they respond quickly. Now I have a question about my smartwatch. Going for 0/5.
YouTube occasionally recommends bbq squirrel recipes to me for some reason. Never watched one, but probably should keep them in the queue until November 4.
