> Automakers pointed to an existing system that distributes warnings across AM, FM, internet-based or satellite radio and over cellular networks.
> "This is simply a bill to prop up and give preference to a particular technology that's now competing with other communications options and adapting to changing listenership," the automaker group said.
No, that's not true. I was recently in #Alabama and found that cellular alerts were inconsistent at best. Two people might be sitting next to one another with cellular phones on different networks. One will get an alert and the other may not alert at all ... or if they do, it may be twenty minutes or more later than the first, which can be too late.
Alerts on various television channels (OTA broadcast, cable, satellite) get divided into small fractions and are often just a text crawler across the bottom of the screen ... if you're not looking, you don't know.
That leaves AM and FM radio ... and NOAA weather radio. Honestly, NOAA's system is best, because even if you're not presently listening, your weather radio will pick up the alert and activate itself, blaring an alarm and then playing the messages. But for people who don't have NOAA radios or don't know how to set one up ... or for people travelling in vehicles, AM radio is by far the best option (for example, there are AM stations that can be heard for hundreds of miles in the evening), though I think the FCC may wish to set aside a specific AM channel / frequency for localized emergency alerts, such that car radios can quietly monitor for alerts in their area and automatically switch to said alerts.
Now, there was at one point an attempt to mandate that all cellphones include FM radio capability "for emergency purposes". I thought at the time (and still do) that AM radio is better for that purpose.
This may not be something that should have to be mandated, but on the other hand, there are relatively few automakers and it takes a lot of capital and approvals to enter the business, so they are immune to persuasion via targeted market forces such as boycotts or brand recommendations. -

You said the median was 2%, why would we recommend 5%? #libertrian #ballotaccess #Alabama
♻lp@kill-the-newsletter.com "The Libertarian Party is leading the charge for Ballot Access Reform in the state of Alabama.
Under current law, a political party must earn at least 20% of the vote for a statewide office in the last statewide election to remain on the ballot.
This is—by far—the highest ballot access retention vote requirement in the nation. The next closest requirement is 10% of the vote in two states, while the median vote retention requirement among all states is 2%.
We are pushing for legislation to change the vote retention requirement from 20% to 5%. If this were to pass, LP Alabama would immediately qualify for the ballot." -

For today's lunch, I'm trying #Whataburger. People from #Texas seem to think it is wonderful, but my experiences in #Louisiana were inconsistent. Maybe this location in #Alabama will be different. -

@geniusmusing I think #Alabama should pay her compensation for perpetuating (in the literal meaning of the word) injustice against her. It should be enough money to make them rush to examine their records and quickly remedy similar cases where the victim is still alive. #AL -

Slowly assembling the team that will work here. K is here, but not in my building. I and E in my building, but are each being sent to take over another one soon.
Advance teams from another agency have shown up, but they (and most of around 50 other federal agencies) are preoccupied with #Louisiana right now. And I guess parts of #Texas, #Mississippi, #Alabama as well.
So far, no familiar faces from other agencies, but I seeing people from $EMPLOYER that I haven’t seen in person since 2015, 2017, 2019. -

Ida lands as a category 4 hurricane with estimated sustained winds of 150MPH and gusts of 185MPH. #LA is getting torn up from the winds and the flooding. (I saw storm surge forecasts of 15ft last night, I’d guess even more ocean water than expected got pushed onshore with this higher wind speed.)
I really hope most people got out of Dodge before the storm arrived. Otherwise, this is conversation with your Maker time in #Louisiana and probably #Mississippi ( #MS ) and #Alabama ( #AL ) right now. -

> ... the [US] South and China, two places where people know how to eat.
I haven't been to #China, so I have no opinion on their food (except I know it differs from what we know as #Chinese_food in the US). However, I have worked in #Alabama, #Mississippi, and #Louisiana.
Overall, I was not impressed. #LA had the best food of the three, but it was usually so highly salted that I quickly went back to putting some rice, meat, and beans in a slow-cooker.
The exception was lunchtime: whenever I could make it there, I went to a particular gas station in Baton Rouge to buy lunch. Imagine Popeye's Famous Louisiana chicken, but turned up to 11! (Or maybe Popeye's took the gas station recipe and dialed it down a notch or two.) Anyway, that was good, though that much fried food is naturally unhealthy.
( @p@freespeechextremist.com won't see this, but that's okay. ) -

Starting to think about doing CC Community Music Awards by state for the 2022 edition. If we did that, would anyone be interested in taking a state? I'm not asking for you to commit right now. I'm just trying to gauge interest.

My first impression is "well it is #Alabama", but I've actually worked in that state a couple of times without experiencing anything negative. I felt like I could go almost anywhere without much issue.
I have to add that the last time I worked there, I was near an old closed-down Army base with an adjacent wooded area. I did not feel like it would be safe to wander in the woods ... but I don't think that was about race.

mstdn.io/@fitheach/10323210717… ♲ @fitheach@mstdn.io: On this day, December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat, on the bus, to a white person.
Specifically, her arrest was for civil disobedience in violating Alabama's segregation laws.
