Painesville, Cleveland, Gallipolis, and Dayton will all see some of the money.

This is the face of transwoman lust, for reasons I do not understand, this is the goldfish flakes that drives women mad, I post, this is your problem now

Check your registration and see if it's still okay.

I find that while the Secretary of State website still offers registration through a web form, my local County Board of Elections is talking about some sort of paper - not online - form that you have to turn in to their office to get registered.

Do I need it? Or am I already covered from last time? Maybe the piece of paper is only required for new voters in the county? Who knows, so check your own situation. I suspect the fuckery has been ramped up since Republicans in office got results on marijuana and abortion that they didn't like when the voters showed up last November and August.

I am a guy who glanced at the Secretary of State and local County Board websites, and not an authoritative source, you'll need to research your specific situation in your county.

I close with a reminder that they sneak all kinds of stuff onto the primary ballots, they are never just about who is going to end up President.

For example, my local ballot will have a vote on it to refresh the funding for the developmental difficulties program, and the local public parks. This is why I show up, I'm looking for this stuff, it's not going on other ballots, so you have to get at it during primaries.

We still have mail-in voting, and early in-person voting, both of which start on February 21, a day after the last day to register, which again is February 20.

The official Primary Day is not until March 19, but the voter registration cutoff is 30 days earlier, that's the important date, one more time, February 20.

Keep using these rights as much as you can stand, because I don't think they intend to let us keep them if they can help it.

Context:

Daily Chartbook is a Substack channel who appears to have access to several research channels such as Goldman Sachs and Bank of America. Daily Chartbook offers a paid service that does what it says on the tin, you get about 30 charts every day in an email, which are intended to support the investor in their decisions, especially if that investor is a professional.

This service was available for free, but transitioned to paid. However, you can still subscribe to DC Lite, for free, which sends you the top 5 most interesting charts of the day. It's probably all the retail investor needs.

If the charts interest you, and you wish to subscribe:

https://www.dailychartbook.com/

Their charts are offered with minimal commentary, much of which comes from X, formerly Twitter.

I receive these charts as an email, and pass one or two along, here. I have no association with Daily Chartbook beyond being their subscriber. It's a good way to keep this subLemmy active with appropriate content.

Problem for the researcher seeing these charts:

It would appear that unless you are subscribed to the research channel, that is, unless you are a direct subscriber with the expensive sources of Daily Chartbook, you will not be able to view these charts properly in order to investigate the methodology that creates the charts. These charts are not published publicly on the websites for their various sources.

I present these charts as education and entertainment, only. Please remember that I am showing a few charts, only, and that introduces bias. I make zero promises to do this daily or on a clear schedule, expect at least one post per week for now.

August was just the preamble, this is the big show. If you managed to drag yourself into the booth for that August thing, don't leave us hanging, now.

Here's a Columbus Dispatch article breaking down the situation a bit more professionally.

There is a constitutional amendment to protect the right to an abortion in Ohio on the ballot. It's a pretty big deal, so if you Voted No on Issue 1 a bit ago, get your booty in that ballot room for this one. All that was about this, so don't drop the ball.

Legalizing recreational weed is also on the ballot, I get the impression that it's an acceptable enough law, not like the previous one that was so bad that NORML was telling stoners to vote it down. This will NOT be a constitutional amendment, just a new statute, and can be tweaked later on, it's not as big a deal as Issue 1, abortion. If it wasn't for Issue 1 it would be the biggest deal on the ballot.

As always, the ballot will be full of little nobodies to vote for, except those little nobodies will end up controlling the situation in your literal backyard, so get a ballot and make sure the head of your local Klan isn't running for anything, vote him down if he is. Keep an eye on your school board elections. Look for "Shall we fund the local library?" type stuff. Expect variety.

Some of you will find yourselves, oh, choosing between 1 of 4 Republican sheriffs and similar situations. I don't want to hear the teenaged logic, vote for the least of 4 evils if you must. Next year, know their names better. One of those guys will be least likely to tell his troopers to shoot first, so try to vote for him.

Head straight to your county's election board website for a proper example ballot that YOU can expect to see, so you can do research. The state website will just end up sending you there, since each ballot is sorta personalized with stuff specific to your county, like school boards, funding measures and such.

It's not too late to send in your application for an absentee ballot, the cutoff to send the application is Oct 31, but don't quote me. It does take weeks to get a ballot in your hand, though, with lots of back and forth through the mail.

Early vote is the move, in my opinion. On a good day, it's a ten-minute process on a Tuesday afternoon. Done. Lookin at you, person with a service job and weird weekdays off. Go for whatever works, though.

Best of luck out there. Tell your friends to vote.

At roughly 3:15 pm EDT on Monday April 8, Northwest Ohio will experience a Total Solar Eclipse, this is where the Moon completely blocks the Sun plunging the local world into darkness for a short time during a period of normal daylight.

The phenomenon should occur in full in Cleveland, Toledo, Akron, and Dayton, including all the smaller towns around and between those. If you have people in Indianapolis, they'll very much see it too.

You can view the eclipse with the proper equipment, including special glasses, expect to pay about $15 for a pack of 5 glasses. Here is a link for a list of reputable suppliers.

There are several ways to observe the eclipse, such as DIY pinhole cameras, and it is safe to watch anyone's livestream as well. The glasses will be nice to have, though. You have several months to prepare.

An Annular Solar Eclipse will also happen on October 14 of this year, and we won't see it, since the phenomenon will pass through Oregon and Texas, plus the states in between, missing Ohio completely. In an Annular Solar Eclipse, the Moon is in front of the sun in such a way as to create a "ring of fire" from the Sun blazing behind the Moon. I'm sure it's going to be very cool for everyone who sees it.

Solar eclipses happen on a regular basis, but because it is the angle of your location with respect to the Sun and Moon that creates the eclipse experience, that means that you will either miss most or all of them during your life. You need to travel a lot to see solar eclipses frequently.

A total solar eclipse is quite a thing, and it is an exceedingly rare thing to be able to see from the comfort of your backyard, in Toledo, so heads up to everyone who even remotely cares.

The eclipse should be fairly short, so you'll need maybe a half hour out of Monday to properly experience it before the Sun and Moon move and it's over. If you can get free for a bit, do it.

Early voting has started for the November General Election, it's the way to go, probably in and out, if you already have a good idea of how you're voting.

I didn't know where else to post it, sorry. Hopefully the Canadians see this too. We should make sure to have a whole server post on this every year.

I feel Tom was far more forgiving than he should be.

Oh, yeah, I think this is an old Tom and Jerry skit with waifus on top, you probably know the waifus better than aifu, they are just "anime wimmin" to me, sry

Cleveland is love. You should travel to Cleveland, stand on the shore, and drink expensive tea.
