Between the Trump tariffs and the oligarchs controlling social media, these were two forms of US interference that have been tremendously successful in Brazil.

This is what every election is going to look like for the foreseeable future: Did the sane people win over the insane, destructive populists? Just the same thing over and over again, and sometimes we win and here and there we're going to lose. That's our life now, get used to it.

Completely expected but I think it’s really funny how the same people who thought Lakshya Jain and Nate Silver were hacks six months ago now positively cite them purely because their models now show Dems doing very well

There's a lot of false advertising about Proposition 132 www.ccjrc.org/fentanylball...

Prop 132 would:

Make any amount of fentanyl possession a felony, even first-time cases.

Punish a person sharing even one pill with the same mandatory 8 to 32-year prison sentence as the highest-level drug trafficker.

Require mandatory sentences even if the person didn’t know fentanyl was present & no money was exchanged.

Send nearly 900 more people to prison each year.

Cost taxpayers $433M in the first 5 years.

Prop 132 would NOT:

WOULD NOT increase penalties for the highest-level drug traffickers.

WOULD NOT reduce drug use or drug sales.² ³ ⁴

WOULD NOT disrupt the drug supply.³

WOULD NOT reduce overdose deaths and is projected to increase them.¹ ² ⁴

WOULD NOT expand access to treatment. Prop 132 provides no funding for the treatment it mandates and could increase wait times at treatment centers.

Our medieval sources on Norse don’t give us an organized canon, so when a place is mentioned one time it’s hard to know what to do with it. “Folkvang” is one. I doubt many if any poets thought of it as another afterlife; I suggest it may just be another name of Valhalla that alliterates with Freyja.

I watched the film Hamrammr that debuted on Youtube today because it was billed as being in Old Norse (it is, though the pronunciation is Modern Icelandic, not that of the Viking Age). At any rate glad to see a movie use Viking-Age Younger Futhark runes rather than anachronistic Elder Futhark slop!

Not my most perfect recitation of the Lord's Prayer in Gothic from memory, but the one with the best backdrop. From a video on Youtube where I introduce the language of the Goths (as in Ostrogoths or Visigoths), the oldest language closely related to English for which we have long written records.

Maybe it started as a joke but I still don't know what the heck is up with Amazon's decades-long commitment to listing the author of any anonymous Old Norse text as Leifur Eiríksson.

The identification of a medieval stone building in southwestern Greenland as a Norse church was recently announced. So Norse Greenland still had significant construction projects (and individuals with the capital to undertake them) during a period often viewed as impoverished and isolated.
