Newark, NJ (USA) Lowers Voting Age to 16 for School Board Elections
This month for the first time, 16- and 17-year olds will help decide Newark’s school board members thanks to a measure passed last year, just the third reform of its kind in the nation.

More to snuggle.
It no longer exists.
Is "Weird Al" Yankovic still going to be on the plane? He was in all of the original movies.
Oh no! Anyway...

Philadelphia Schools Refuse to Comply with Anti-Trans Executive Order
Article body:
The School District of Philadelphia says it will allow transgender students to compete in sports that match their identity. This decision comes in response to recent rule changes made by the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association (PIAA) Board of Directors to restrict transgender participation in school sports in order to comply with one of Donald Trump’s executive orders.
The executive order in question threatens to revoke federal funding from educational institutions that permit transgender athletes to compete on sports teams matching their gender.
On February 19th, the PIAA held a meeting to discuss the policy changes. One topic addressed at this meeting was Executive Order 14201, entitled “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports.” The board approved the motion to remove their transgender policy and amend section 4—article XVI in the b
Because most cruises aren’t gay cruises, which makes the fact this one was unusual and somewhat interesting
This. Exactly this.
“Two of the most reviled groups in America right now are the LGBTQ+ community and refugees. The fact that we were the ones lucky enough to help them, it feels really, really good.”
That's the reason why the identity of the people on that cruise matters.

First off, is this the perspective of Uplifting News as a community?
I certainly hope not.
Biden knew what Israel would have done, because they have been doing the same thing (over and over again) when given weapons.
I suggest getting a .world admin in on this.
You should not be moderating and banning based on your anger and subjective opinion.
It's not unheard of for anyone to snore regardless of age. I'd say that if it's bothering someone or if one of you is really concerned, it's okay to (nicely) tell her.
This whole "young people find everything offensive" narrative is ridiculous, and always has been. It's very beneficial to those who want to shift the Overton window, though.
Ooh, those are scanners I aspire to own. I probably shouldn't be spending v800/850 money, but a used v700/v750? That's looking tempting.
They even provide Linux drivers.
Thank you for your help!
No worries! Thank you for your response. :3
Build up, not out.
Not an option for me, I'm afraid. If I were casually scanning a few documents here or there a phone app might be okay, but I have a lot of old photographs to scan. I really need the accuracy and quality of a proper flatbed scanner. :3
Basic Scanner (as close to BIFL as possbile)

I'm currently still using my CanoScan F910114 from ~2006 (pictured). The light recently burned out, but it still works for scanning documents if I add some contrast and brightness after the fact. Not great for photographs, though.
If I'm not able to replace the light, I might be in the market for a new scanner. Are there any that you all recommend for durability and potential repairability?
Obviously no electronics are truly going to be BIFL, but I figure I can at least aim high and see what I can find.
Edit: Thank you all for your replies! I'm probably going to go for a used Epson Perfection v600 or v700. I've learned a lot about scanners following your leads.
Killer Tofu... eee ahh eee...
I wouldn't eat it... but it ate you.
People smart enough to realize how much they don't know are most likely to think that they aren't smart... and it takes a certain level of intelligence to do that.
"Weird Al" Yankovic liked an animator's fan videos so much, he hired him to help animate his latest release.
Ryan Krzak (YouTube: RWappin), the creator of popular fan music videos for the Weird Al tracks "Albuquerque" and "Everything You Know is Wrong," was hired by Al to animate the "Uptown Funk" segment of his latest release, "Polkamania!." That segment starts at 2:24.
This is similar to how Al liked Jarrett Heather's "Shop Vac" video, and asked him to animate his track "Word Crimes". Jarrett Heather, incidentally, is also in this latest video. He animates the "W.A.P." segment.
The Weird Al-fan dynamic is something more wholesome than can be described. There's a genuine love there.
