Man in Texas to be executed for... being in a car 100 yards away from a murder.

He knew the killer. He didn't know the killer was going to shoot the victim. The evidence agrees with this. The killer agrees with this. He's still facing execution for first-degree murder.

Latest Republican tactic: Send letters informing people that there are "irregularities" in their voter registration that can be corrected for a small donation.

Now, it *actually* says that it's your registration with the Republican party as someone who votes Republican is in jeopardy - but it's written in the most misleading way possible, clearly meant to pass itself off as a legitimate concern for, say, Fox News' core audience.

I hate opening my laptop bag to the sound of a heavily overworked fan and the smell of scorching plastic.

Apparently the damn thing *woke up*, while closed, and ran inside the sealed, padded bag for most of two hours.

I'll see how well it recovers once it cools down.

UPDATE: It lives! No obvious HW damage, no data loss.
