Fifty-Five Days to the Election
By Daddy
Las Vegas — It's less than two months (55 Days and counting) to the elections so I did some research on how I'm going to vote. I live in Nevada, so this election I expect to receive a ballot mailed to me in the next few weeks. It turns out that each polling location also have a "Mail Ballot Drop Off" box monitored by the same people that monitor the in person voting. No muss, No Fuss problem solved without worrying about the USPS or Trump interferring.
"The election ain't over 'til fat lady counts the mail in votes" (that was sarcasm kid) According to Axios A top Democratic data and analytics firm said: "It's highly likely that President Trump will appear to have won — potentially in a landslide — on election night, even if he ultimately loses when all the votes are counted." Be sure to have lots of popcorn for the week after the election!
Today is my weekly visit to the wound doctor. There's a good chance that it'll be the last time.
Then it's off to the store for the chicken egg salad fixings: Green Onions, Celery, Mayo and the new test ingredient curry powder. The chicken I got for half price has been cubed and is in the quart ziploc container. Next, It's egg boiling time!
The User Interface on my SwiftUI app is 95% done, it's just separated in three separate test apps. This week I hope to fold the three test apps into the real app. Then it's on to interfacing with the external library. It may be simpler than I thought as I may be able to call the library without a Thunk layer
Everything is caught up bill wise and I'm over the hump for August. I'll be watching the pennes until about the 20th and then I should be OK. To all those that have donated, Thank you for your donations!. Any help is appreciated. Here's a link to the How to Donate Page

By Trudy Ring

The bill, which passed the Republican-controlled House of Representatives in a party-line vote Wednesday and now goes to the Senate, eliminates drop boxes for ballots in the state and allows only brief periods for requesting mail-in ballots and beginning vote counts before Election Day (More)

Hilary Swank and Cast on Away's Hope, Isolation, LGBTQ+ Storyline
By Tracy E. Gilchrist
Streaming — There was no telling quite how relevant the themes of Away would be when the mission-to-Mars series began production. The Netflix series that stars Hilary Swank as Emma Green, the commander of a years-long global mission to the Red Planet, offers plenty of nail-biting spacewalks, but it's also grounded in themes of isolation and hope that are particularly resonant since life effectively changed last March.

10 Straight Actors Who Won Awards for Playing Queer Roles
By Raffy Ermac
Hollywood — While we love seeing LGBTQ+ narratives on screen, we'd be remiss if we didn't mention that a lot of film and television's most well-known—and awarded—queer roles more often than not go to non-queer actors. Don't get us wrong! It's a step in the right direction to see more and more LGBTQ+ stories, but considering that out actors don't get as many opportunities as their straight colleagues, we still have a long, long way to go when it comes to representation.
