As a librarian colleague noted, this needs to be archived, but is there an archival format for redfin 3D house tours??

@Simon pundits and pundon’ts

@Simon Such a comedian would have to really put the pun in pundit

If you read this and you are currently feeling hopeless, here's a more solution-oriented article https://thecorrespondent.com/757/four-radical-ways-the-media-can-protect-us-democracy-from-trump/966230639528-6c309d72

Always nice to know how we look to the rest of the world https://thecorrespondent.com/698/dear-news-media-stop-covering-the-us-as-if-its-a-democracy/890923363792-0ab909dd

@Ted big mood

I wonder what it would take to get my job title changed to "well-regarded pundit"

Ok I've mostly locked in my ballot.

I still haven't picked a circuit court judge, and I don't think I will. They both look great.

For school board, @Simon 's mom likes Angie Smith and Jeff Gaynor but hasn't decided on a third yet, so I've got those two filled in, and I guess I'll take some time to look up what I can about the remaining 7 candidates.

@soccrchik "Additionally, she supported a $26M no-bid outsourcing contract for IT services, then used the opportunity to publicly insult the IT staff she just voted to terminate"

No bueno

@soccrchik Also I had to read and reread and eventually give up on the first sentence and move on to the second before I figured out that you were not talking about my place of employment.

@soccrchik Thanks for digging! All good to know.

Ok, I get it now; proposal B (Ann Arbor 2020) has a context. Historically, the city has built new sidewalks by charging adjacent property owners.

If proposal B passes, the city will have a few years during which it can add new sidewalks with tax revenue instead, and it's part of the city's efforts to discourage driving and encourage walking.

As a citizen who walks everywhere and almost never drives, I am in favor.

Oh right I normally just don’t vote in trustee elections for schools I have no stake in, but then I realized if I wasn’t gonna vote anyway, I may as well vote green party? Let me know if you care about Wayne state trustees and you think I should not vote green party

@soccrchik Cool. I’ll likely hang onto my ballot for another week, if you hear anything.

Van den Burgh and Roumel both look like good judges. Roumel has a lot of endorsements, but they both really look great. If anything I'm inclined to vote female due to the lower odds of being a sexual predator, but I'll likely leave it blank.

When it comes to the state supreme court, my aunt who used to work on policy in the capital building says McCormack and Welch, so I've already filled in those bubbles, and no power on earth can change my vote.

@soccrchik I know you've attended classes in the past at WCC—do you have any knowledge to pass my way about trustees?

Proposal C looks like the affordable housing initiative that this town has been needing for decades. A firm and shouted yes.
