TIL about St Kilda, a remote group of islands 50 miles from Scotland that humans had inhabitated for thousands of years until 1930 when the last people left. A community and culture melted away. Space opened for non-human life (mostly birds).
Dang, you’re being pretty unpleasant to other people, and seem to be alienating yourself thru aggressive interactio- oh wait, you say you’re a pessimist, and that makes it acceptable? And you say you’re also mean to your friends? Why, you’re a noble figure! I’m sorry I didn’t recognize you at first.

Thought I could find this story by googling iterations on "American airline runs out of fuel emergency landing" but then I found out that happens a lot
Having the debate before the conventions, before the candidates are official, only because the media corps lost out on hot primary newscycles really clarifies to me the point of boosting trump and nitpicking Biden. If they didn't this would be a 53-45 race for 6 months and that's boring news.
Dave Wasserman is a Republican. He does a good job reporting on election night, and for the other 364 days a year he's cheering for gerrymanders that cement GOP power.
