It's Not Too Late to Register to Vote (and maybe a good time to check your registration to make sure it's up to date)

Posted on 06 October 23:10 (4 days ago)

We are currnetly one month away from a particularly consequential slate of mid-term elections.  To anyone who has been sitting on the sidelines, this is a good time to pay attention, find out what elections you’re eligible to vote in, read up on the issues important to you and pick your candidates.  If you’re not registered to vote – or not sure whether you are (or whether you’re registered at the correct address) – there’s still time to register and/or update your address.  You can get to the information you need through the voter portal, vote.org .  

(Also: we recommend using only vote.org.  Some other voter portals – most notably the cynically named “VoteSafe" dot org, which was created by the Elon Musk-funded America PAC – collect, sell and otherwise exploit any information you enter; talk about irony...)

Albert Einstein, Conceptual Comics Artist

Check it out: the greatest thinker of the Twentieth Century did his thinking... in comics! Food for thought.

'What, precisely, is "thinking"? When, at the reception 
of sense-impressions, memory-pictures emerge, this is 
not yet "thinking." And when such pictures form series, 
each member of which calls forth another, this, too, is 
not yet "thinking." When, however, a certain picture 
turns up in many such series, then — precisely through 
such return — it becomes an ordering element for such 
series, in that it connects series which in themselves are 
unconnected. Such an element becomes an instrument, 
a concept- I think that the transition from free associa- 
tion or "dreaming" to thinking is characterized by the 
more or less dominating role which the "concept" plays 
in it. It is by no means necessary that a concept must 
be connected with a sensorily cognizable and reproducible 
sign (word); but when this is the case thinking becomes 
by means of that fact communicable.’
