Connecticut

Even in my rural, small town they're getting 300ish voters a day. It's so much quicker and easier to go get it done now. They really are making it more convenient to vote.

There is also a statewide question on the ballot regarding absentee ballots and making them available to anyone for any reason.

Three men in a little boat.

Ran the New Haven Road Race today with my wife and we both did well, almost two minutes faster than last year. Did any other Fediverse people partake?

CT & MA become the first states in the US to ban use of PFAS in firefighters’ protective gear (www.theguardian.com)

Massachusetts and Connecticut are the first two states in the US to ban the use of toxic PFAS “forever chemicals” in protective gear worn by firefighters.

Turnout gear, including jackets, pants, boots, gloves and other protective equipment that firefighters wear is treated heavily with PFAS that makes it resistant to water and heat, and helps the textiles breathe.

A close ally of Figueroa, David Michel, also lost his primary yesterday.

Magnitude 4.8 and 4.0 in NJ today. Looks to be near a record for size and proximity to CT based on usgs.gov. Only thing I could find bigger/closer was dated from 1884.
