Sure, bro.

I don’t mess with yellow stones.

Nice. We’re getting fresh blood in here.

FWIW, here's how fife-thirty-eight is quantifying this... https://fivethirtyeight.com/live-blog/2022-midterm-election/350097/ Right now it looks like she needs 55% of the remaining (mostly mail-in) vote to win in areas that she has, to this point, been doing about 60%.

This of course, but to answer the question, it seems pretty obvious they see DeSantis only as a prop. The Lincoln Project isn’t particularly interested in anything outside of Trump, so it’s impossible to say what they think of guys like DeSantis.

Unseasonably cool today out West.

Toxic masculinity is a relatively new concept, but there has always been a pretense of the masculine ideal that exploits control for those who are out of control.

I think he needs something like 32,000 votes to go over the 50% mark and, given how much independents have stayed stayed roughly 50/50, I think Warnock has a fairly well defined path to victory in the run off.

There are no guarantees this soon after the election.

I've seen Laxalt's commercials in past elections, and he's a slimy motherfucker.

It's not really surprising. Musk uses much the same "language" as Incels because hyper masculinity is part of his persona. For instance, he espouses "repopulating" despite the vast amount of evidence that population booms would have disastrous effect just about everywhere. He also puts emphasis on decisive (if catastrophically misguided) action like his proposed peace plan for Ukraine. He exhibits a lot of the same traits as any man who's compensating for his inadequacies in a very public way while hiding behind the successes of his underlings to justify it.

Isn't Cortez Masto down about 23,000 votes? But, it looks like Washoe County is really close (less that 5,00 with only 76% reporting), and that has Reno in it.

College football. Of course there is context… I work on the sidelines: I can justify missing a quarter because I’m actually doing something related to my work away from the stadium. So, perhaps it’s not as simple as I’m walking out of the stadium as much as I rearrange my workflow so that I “have” to miss the game. As to what it does…. I typically miss out on some of the injuries. Even when I’m at the game, I can usually keep myself busy so I’m not paying attention. I’ve been doing this work for about 20 years now, so it’s not like I got to this point with any intent, I’ve just come to the realization that I probably wouldn’t watch any of the game from the stands if I couldn’t make up something to do when it’s inconvenient.

The only reason to boycott is for your own well being, and most of us probably won’t get that far. Still, it does make me think about how I cope with football. I suppose it’s one of the reasons I refuse to watch my team on tv and typically skip quarters while watching the game in person.

Not to be a downer (well, actually maybe a little bit): saw this opinion piece on CNN. I'm not so disingenuous to suggest that people stop watching football when I still do (in person, at least), but each passing year brings more difficulties when getting enjoyment out of the game.

Not the sleeping with your ex part.

I'm still not using mine other than to log on and see parodies.

No they aren’t.

I’m jealous too.

Interesting…

Ohhhhhh….. got it.

And it only took 55 minutes to get.

How is that place getting 4.2 stars?

Never got why people seem to think she's not really a part of all this. All joking aside, she is every bit as awful as her husband, she just can't express it through her accent.

No, Melania has the steak knife. She's the suicide in that equation.
