BTW, you can register online:

You must have a Tennessee driver's license or Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security ID in order to submit this application online. If you do not have a Tennessee driver's license or Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security ID, you will be able to print the voter registration form and submit by mail.

 

Tomorrow (November 3rd) is the last day you can register to vote before the 7th District Special Election! If you're in any of the following counties, you're in the 7th district: Eastern Benton, Decatur, Dickson, Cheatham, Western Davidson, Hickman, Houston, Humphreys, Montgomery, Perry, Robertson, Stewart, Wayne, and Western Williamson. There's a map of the 7th district here. If you're in Davidson, Benton or Williamson county, you'll definitely want to double check your voter card to make sure that's your district. (Yay gerrymandering! /s)

Important dates
November 3: Last day you can register to vote
November 12-26: Early voting December 2: Election Day

Edit: Added date + tags

 

Note - This looks like hot garbage on mobile.

Weird Fact: This is the film that inspired Octavia Butler to become a writer!

As I was watching this film, I had a series of revelations. The first was that "Geez, I can write a better story than that." And then I thought, "Gee, anybody can write a better story than that." And my third thought was the clincher: "Somebody got paid for writing that awful story." So I was off and writing, and a year later I was busy submitting terrible pieces of fiction to innocent magazines.

The movie's on Tubi and Pluto (Rifftrax version) if anyone wants to see it.

That sounds like a good idea! I thought this was just someone with a grudge until you started talking about the other articles they'd edited. I can't say for sure if they're all bad faith edits, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were others besides what they added to the Fediverse article.

Yeah, this needs to be brought to someone's attention. It's not just someone adding their personal opinion to the Fediverse article, but they're also messing up a bunch of other articles, too. I'd almost call it vandalism. OP, maybe you could get together with some other editors and bring it up to an administrator / mods?

If there's anyone here who's never listened to Gizz and has no idea where to start, there's tons of "beginner's guides" out there. Here's a good one though it hasn't been updated since they pulled their music from Spotify: https://www.getintogizz.com/ There's also lots of concerts on Youtube. All of the KEXP sessions are great!

Infest the Rat's Nest and Chunky Shrapnel are "name your price" now, too! They were still full price for a while - I think it had something to do with those albums being released through ATO.
