Our short-sighted, algorithm-driven presidential campaigns focus only on turning out the party faithful while using negative ads to make undecided people too disgusted to vote at all.
Hyper-polarization wasn’t the result of one election year, and it will take efforts over many years to get it under control.
#Trump again made a fool of himself telling a mostly empty stadium of white people at Temple University (with a few Black people behind the podium for marketing purposes) that he won Philadelphia last election.
But give him credit for going where he’s not wanted. I wish Democratic candidates went to rural towns, or even to suburban towns in Red States they have no hope of winning.
My back yard is firefly heaven— long open area in the middle, lots of leaf litter around the edges. They’re at it all night, not just at dusk. The ones we have do a rapid flickery light pattern that is cool.

Then for the good people who stood by his side, so much respect
This wasn't even that long ago.
Should be in every schools curriculum IMO
Alex Rodriguez asked a question. Reggie Jackson answered it.
(Shouts to the producer and rest of the desk for staying out of Reggie’s way and just letting him talk. I doubt they expected this answer.

Not an individual spice, but a blend.
Ras-El-Hanout is a North African and Middle Eastern blend, with lots of aromatics. Heavy on the cinnamon, it's the defining flavour of a classic tagine dish.

there's a 100 year old woman who is having issues when she flies to visit her relatives... the airlines list her as an unaccompanied minor because her birthdate is 1923, but the airline ticketing just uses the last 2 digits, making her an infant. so she has to be accompanied by security everywhere she goes

@sentientdessert allegedly actually occurred:
Fuzz: Do you know why I pulled you over?
Lady: You’re selling tickets to the Police Officers Ball?
(Fuzz gives her incredulous stare and pause)
Fuzz: No ma’am, I’m with the Highway Patrol. We don’t have any Balls.
(Fuzz realizes what he just said and walked away)
