            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you voted in the 2026 election? If so, double-check that your clerk has received your ballot. I am not sure about other states, but in Ky, you can go to this link to see whether your ballot has been received. If it says it hasn’t, that’s not good, but if it says it has, that’s good. If they haven’t received your ballot, call your county clerk.</p><p>For other states, search “state election ballot status.” For Ky, you can check it here: <a href="https://vrsws.sos.ky.gov/vic/">https://vrsws.sos.ky.gov/vic/</a></p><p>The last day to vote in this election is November 3rd, not just in certain states but across all states. If you haven’t voted, do so. It’s too late to request an absentee ballot, but you can vote early in person or wait to vote on Election Day. If, for some reason, you think one vote — your vote — wouldn’t make much difference, you are wrong, because your vote matters in every election. It’s not just about electing candidates to represent you; it also helps them gather data so they can better understand how much funding to send to our areas, cities, counties, and states.</p><p>Share this post to help others learn more.</p><p>Joshie.</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=14ae170b3e04" width="1" height="1" alt=""><hr><p><a href="https://medium.com/joshiesworld/voted-yet-double-check-14ae170b3e04">Voted yet?

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is one of the topics for my upcoming Mix article. Still, I feel it should also be posted on JoshiesWorld’s social media, so I decided to copy and paste it here so it will appear in the upcoming Mix article and in a social media post. At least this will reach more people, so if they didn’t see this post, they will see it in the upcoming Mix article on JoshiesWorld.com. Be sure to follow JoshiesWorld on Facebook, as well as on other social media platforms like Instagram, YouTube, etc! Look for <a href="http://twitter.com/JoshiesWorld">JoshiesWorld</a> handler/username.</p><p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/JoshiesWorld/">https://www.facebook.com/JoshiesWorld/</a><br>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/JoshiesWorld/">https://www.instagram.com/JoshiesWorld/</a><br>The others: <a href="https://www.joshiesworld.com/contact/social/">https://www.joshiesworld.com/contact/social/</a></p><p>Yesterday (February 15, 2026) marked a year since both the eastern parts of the United States were devastated by floods. This wasn’t just a common flood; it almost surpassed the great flood of 1977, a record that devastated many areas, including both Pike County, Kentucky, and Mingo County, West Virginia. People, including my mom, who lived in Williamson with her family when she was a teenager, I believe, and who witnessed the great flood of 1977 in both Pike County, Ky, and Mingo County, WV, said they had never seen anything like it. It seemed worse than the flood they had experienced firsthand. The Tug Fork River suddenly turned into a big lake. Kentucky’s Governor Andy Beshear said there were 24 confirmed fatalities from the February 15, 2025, flood.</p><p>Almost a week after last year’s flood, I wrote an article about it; the headline is “The Kentucky and West Virginia Floods of 2025” on my website, JoshiesWorld.com. I added some pictures and videos (some taken by us, some by others) to the article, along with resources for people affected by the flood. Also, a few people were mentioned in the article, especially those who voluntarily took on the responsibility to help people affected, such as by providing shelters, food, drinks, and clothes.</p><p>The Kentucky and West Virginia Floods of 2025 by JoshiesWorld: <a href="https://www.joshiesworld.com/the-kentucky-and-west-virginia-floods-of-2025/">https://www.joshiesworld.com/the-kentucky-and-west-virginia-floods-of-2025/</a></p><p>In that article, the story is deeper, with historical context, particularly the 1977–2025 great flood. If you are curious about the Valentine’s flood on February 15, 2025, or want to revisit and remember what you and I went through that weekend, this is a great article to read and learn from. If you would like to share this post or the article, please do! We must continue sharing what happened that weekend, which is now part of our history in Pike County, Ky, and Mingo County, Wv.</p><p>Stay safe, and stay warm! 🙏🏻🫶🏻🤟🏻</p><p>Joshie.</p><p>#Kentucky #WestVirginia #Flood #ValentinesDayFlood #ValentinesDayFlood2025 #February152025Flood #Disaster #PikeCountyKy #MingoCountyWv #Ky #Wv</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=b9cee6dc3421" width="1" height="1" alt=""><hr><p><a href="https://medium.com/joshiesworld/it-has-been-a-year-since-the-valentines-flood-that-devastated-the-eastern-united-states-of-america-b9cee6dc3421">It has been a year since the Valentine’s Flood that devastated the eastern United States of America.</a> was originally published in <a href="https://medium.com/joshiesworld">JoshiesWorld</a> on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.</p>]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I support requiring the disclaimer when using the AI in any content. This is getting out of control. The AI is learning to be smarter thanks to our data (AI exists because we allowed our data to be shared for it to learn), and, thanks to its rapid advancement, it is getting harder to tell what is real and what isn’t on social media. I am not discouraging the use of AI; it is a helpful tool, but please include a disclaimer.</p><p>What say you? Leave a comment!
