After Trump won in 2016, he nominated several right-wing judges to the Supreme Court, and now there are no federal protections for abortion rights. As a result, women are dying. Those federal protections would still exist if there had been a different outcome in 2016.

Judd Legum on Election Impact
In a wild presidential election featuring dozens of criminal felony charges, fallacious claims about election fraud, and sexist invective, it's easy to forget a fundamental truth: The real impact of the election will be expressed through changes to federal law and policy.

RESTING ON YOUR SHOULDERS
YOUR CONSUMER SHOULDERS THAT IS...
Colleges are charging “talent fees” and “athletic surcharges” on sports tickets and at concessions stands to help offset the pay college athletes now receive.

WE ARE DISGUSTING IN WHAT WE ALLOW...
When the polls close on this doozy of a day, it’ll mark two things: 1) No more texts begging you to save democracy for $5 (for now) and 2) the most expensive election season in American history is finally ending.
A projected $15.9 billion has been dumped into the presidential and congressional campaigns on the ballot today, according to the nonpartisan nonprofit OpenSecrets.

Apologize profusely for the mistake.
I've already dropped and given you twenty pushups, please don't give any more punishment.
FDR ON ROPE TYING
Historybook: "Gone with the Wind" actress Vivien Leigh born (1913); Writer Sinclair Lewis is first American to win Nobel Prize for literature (1930); Franklin D. Roosevelt is first and only US president elected to third term (1940); Saddam Hussein is sentenced to death (2006); Google unveils Android (2007).
"When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on."

ON this date in 1995 - "The Wizard of Oz in Concert" took place for a Children's Defense Fund.
The show featured Jackson Browne as the Scarecrow, Roger Daltrey as the Tin Man, Nathan Lane as the Cowardly Lion and Jewel as Dorothy.
Bun Man and Mr. Purple got roles in the Lollipop Guild and stole the show--quintessential munchkins; so disappointed when the show cancelled the US tour.
ON this date in 1998 - Scientists published a genetic study that showed strong evidence that Thomas Jefferson fathered at least one child (Eston Hemings) of his slave, Sally Hemings.
Fellow descendants of plantation owners Bun Man and Mr. Purple were so glad the focus was always on poor Thomas and not on their lineage.
Privately, the Boyz feared their ancestors had strayed a little also...
When the Boyz asked George and all his George sons why he invented that grill, George replied "I just figured I'd make money out of my grill, not throw it all away putting a grill in my mouth..."
George had a point...

ON this date in 1994 - George Foreman, 45, became boxing's oldest heavyweight champion when he knocked out Michael Moorer in the 10th round of their WBA fight in Las Vegas, NV.
Trained intensely by World Famous Trainers Bun Man and Mr. Purple, the Boyz kept George on a strict diet of freshly ground meat cooked on a Foreman Grill.

Are we voting with our Heads or our Hearts?
Damn, you typed Russian model and damn it those ads didn't start showing up again.
And these are the ones with live models.
Sheesh.
JUST GIVE ME THAT SWEET SOUL MUSIC
Recently in the gym, I've listened to soul music, this am, it was Kool & The Gang Radio on Spotify.
Soul music does indeed cleanse the soul, it is IMO the most loving music there is (I'm sure gospel fans are apoplectic right now) and I think one of the most compelling aspects of this music is it comes from people who have been treated horribly and unequally for centuries, and yet they find a way to love and to cherish and to have faith...
Sweet soul music
...and we wouldn't be looking at terms, we'd be looking at lifetimes.
MT: Okay Students, get your workbooks out, those of you who follow science, we're going to learn counting, those of you who lost your shit years ago, we're going to learn more about how those freaking demonic pedophiliacs steal...
