Thank you for the hearts

Ok, a bit of a diversion - I am a bit on the ADHD/Autistic side and a bit well over the age average so definitely not part of the daily social streaming. The TL;DR is I am a bit anti-social.

I truly love Valentines Day hearts as they represent people supporting and representing one of my favorite sites on the Internet. To be honest, I have always thought most of the hearts I got were from Elad working his magic in some algorithmic madness. Thank you Elad/EarlG?

But - I know some come from individuals. I think I just got one of those - so want to thank that person and those over the years who have also sent me one.

Thank you!!!

With great Love -

Lithos

Life Aboard a Slave Ship - BlackHistoryMonth

A question to the Psychiatrists, Psychologists and other mental health workers...

How often are dementia tests given? When are they given? (Ie, what are the circumstances?)

Drumpf seems to have at least taken two within the past few years. Asking as my FiL who definitely had issues never took such a test even when it was obvious he was suffering some issues.

Really would like to understand the context. Is this localized by state or insurance?

Election 2024 voting information

Motivation - a thread where people can post useful information about registration, voting and voting mechanics for the 2024 election in Texas (both primaries and general). Please do not post controversial items here (no campaigning). But I would think links explaining any local elections would be ok (ex: City council or other resolutions). League of Women Voters and progressive site explainers are welcome (ex: Austin Chronicle endorsements - which usually add a ton of narration).

Open request for comment

Just a random thought at the moment - minimal reflection.

Any interest in my creating a pinned thread for voting information for Texas for the Primary and General? Not about polls or other news, but collecting information about the mechanics for for getting people registered, FAQs about voting, registration, polling locations, etc. I realize the traffic here is not huge, yet DU has a great mechanism for storing links and information to keep things handy.

#JuddApatowAndFriends
Just wait for it cuz this one's the topper!
It wasn't enough that #JuddApatow threw a benefit for @victimsfirstorg and invited #Beck to do a set (accompanied on the piano by mega producer #GregKurstin)... then #TenaciousD were like, how about we do some songs too (thank you #JackBlack and #KyleGass)...so of course #JohnCReilly happened to find himself onstage for the inevitable collaboration jam between these two musical giants...
..but THEN... out of seemingly nowhere #DaveGrohl figured he would contribute "Yacht-rock musical sound effects" at the chorus.
