Harris won some precincts by 60, 70, even 80 percent, so the central part of the city, not counting the sprawl, is not exactly deep red. But yes the crowds are good.

Is there anyone less qualified to comment on this?

Near Four Corners on Colesville Rd. people have been pushing for a signal or at least a beacon. SHA claims it's safe, lies about the speeding problem, refuses to act. People insist on action so they just closed the bus stop. Petulant.

It would not be a Democrat governor, it would be a Democratic governor, so he has nothing to worry about.

He's losing. The people in the Democratic stronghold population centers in his district, Steven's Point, La Crosse, and Eau Claire, (Okay, and Menomonie) need to get out the vote and make sure he is thoroughly humiliated.

Article doesn't say, but does quote a retired admiral saying it is "disturbingly high." On my eight month deployment decades ago I probably spent twenty days on shore having fun, and was not in constant high stress operations at sea. I literally can't imagine what these people have gone through.

them: the kids are addicted to social media and have abandoned real life interaction! at their age I used to roam the streets like a feral skate boarder until 10pm and no one cared! also them: teens are banned from the mall after 3pm without adult supervision. lol. what are we even doing here.

Malls are basically our shopping streets and public places. That just got yanked out from under our kids by a faceless corporation. I wonder how much the stores pushed back against this because teenagers are such a big part of their business.

The Florida Senate and Governor races are basically tied. They need support to get them over that line, not scorn.

I was just thinking this morning about Swedish foods. I wonder if Delaware has more. Back home in the Chicago suburbs I usually try to get a rye fix.

Learning enough Japanese to order and pay for food is a pretty low bar assuming you have a smart phone to use Google to translate a menu item.

Not surprising considering our current government. It's so easy to just vote yes and move on. Encouraging the study of maps and geography is great, but do that many people only use Mercator?

It's a mixed bag. A few Metro stations didn't get that memo, while Boston and Chicago are surrounded by one hundred plus year old walkable downtowns. I live in a part of Silver Spring where nimbys successfully shout down infill density.

He and Vance campaigned on removing people who were here legally, villified groups here legally, and said the deportations would be "bloody."

Is an accountant in a town of 20,000 people far from any city considered a rural voter? Or does rural need to be countryside?

Giving retirees who have nothing but time vote by mail while people juggling jobs and kids need to get in line seems wrong.

Less people vote in the military, so maybe 45%, then of the people on the Lincoln, maybe 55% of voters went for Trump, so maybe a quarter of the people on the ship voted Trump? It seems like a lot of people are ready to withhold empathy based on who they think "most" of the crew voted for.

According to that Fox News poll, likely voters favor El-Sayed by a few points, and Democrats are more likely to be likely voters than Republicans. Democrats are energized and Republicans are not.

Too much depends on GPA: continued merit aid, admission to certain majors, honors programs, grad school, internships, etc. And in too many cases, grades don't reflect what people did in a class: grading on curve, rationing grades, widely varying grading styles. Too much stress. It's a bad system.

Trump won the election. That makes Americans in general pretty stupid, right? It's never helpful to generalize like that, especially if your goal is to sneer at people you don't know.

Hong is not a fairly overtly radical socialist and she will work closely with Crowley as she campaigns for him.

Ram designers have said their goal in designing their trucks was to make them look "intimidating." Honestly, I expect a lot of people to shrug and say, "So what? What do you expect?" But not too many years ago that would have seemed really weird to just about everybody.

Democratic voters (even older ones) wanted accountability and to see Trump punished. Biden failed to deliver. Democratic voters also knew Trump was a symptom and not the cause of Republican behavior. Many may have wanted a return to normalcy, but also accountability, and not Dems being weak.

Trump campaigned on mass "bloody" deportations, including of people in the country legally like Haitian TPS recipients.

It makes a lot of people instinctively anti-developer when so much of what gets built is depressing, unimaginative, autocentric, etc.

Not sure how productive it is to continually repeat "Boomers hate cities." Being sad about disinvestment, pollution, and crime isn't the same as hate. And boomers were a big part of the reinvestment in cities in the 80s, 90s, etc. Also, yes, he says he is generalizing. I read that too.

Just got back from Japan and it was great to see so many people of all ages on bikes, often with children, and not just in Tokyo. It seemed to work because people walking and driving expected bikes everywhere and people on bikes expected people walking and driving everywhere. It was a group effort.

When I signed up decades ago I assumed my life would not be treated casually and squandered in a stupid ill-advised adventure. Naive maybe, but that's what I thought.
