Happy birthday @Yumudas Beegbut!

I fell asleep listening to his press conference, and my brain woke me up because it heard the reporters asking him a question and thought there were people in the office

under-discussed race from yesterday's primaries: The incumbent flipped this conservative seat in 2022 through a combination of a moderate campaign, an arch-conservative opponent (who took the incumbent R's slot in the open-party primary), and 2022 being a Dem-leaning election cycle. And Marie Gluesenkamp Perez is going to face that same arch-conservative again. Assuming these numbers hold, she'll have won the open primary with just under half the votes which puts her in a great spot to hold the seat in November.

I'm not actually sure why, tbh. I don't think he didn't express interest, he was one of the three finalists who did an in-person interview. If he wasn't interested he'd have pulled a Cooper and dropped out of the running early.

From everything I read, the real choice was between Shapiro and Walz, and Kelly was a distant third but ahead of all the other contenders.

fetterman apparently said as much to the campaign team beforehand, does that make him antisemitic

happy birthday @SnapItCrackItPopIt!

happy birthday @LoverDemon!

Elon Musk filed a lawsuit against companies that collectively refused to spend money on the website anymore, and they forum shopped themselves right to the decision they want. https://x.com/steve_vladeck/status/1820847976484393137

yeah it was a wobb, this mechanic is dumb

I tried to solo a low level dark raid, what is the gameplay that I'm missing? Get it down to half health way ahead of the timer, pokemon turns purple and takes minimal damage, the purification gem things do nothing, and then I run out of time.
