It’s been a week. And this is a very welcome end to it.

The problem is that most of the Squad have this in common with Republicans, which makes some campaign appearances and debates *extremely* awkward:

There is actually legal precedent concerning Satan’s residency or lack thereof. en.m.wikisource.org/wiki/United_...
“Satan is in Libraries” Well if he can provide photo ID with his current address then he is entitled to sign up for a library card. We also have other ways he can sign up if he is currently without identification

Hey now, some Top Minds in politics assured us that the Supreme Court was not a big issue in the 2016 election. All us hysterical libs were overreacting.

Depends where you think NJR is, I guess. I wouldn’t call him “pro-Gaza” but he probably wishes people would.

Biden’s recent exchange with Doocy was good, actually.

Here is someone, today, on this site, pulling the bait-and-switch on a demand that Biden help get aid into Gaza. Sorry if this disrupts your narrative that this is a made-up nonexistent problem.

Years ago for fun I decided to plot out the distances involved in doing a US equivalent of "Land's End to John o'Groats". You can do it using only three highways and the "shortest" cross-continent leg stays on one highway for 3900km. (distance and exit data from Wikipedia, hopefully correct)

There's also a lot of people who project their preferred interpretations onto polling. Like, yeah, most people don't want wars to go on and will say they'd prefer to see a ceasefire in whatever war you ask them about. But you have to ask about details! Harvard/Harris did this and it's eye-opening.

Breaking MLB news: today marks the culmination of a long-simmering deal to sell the Houston Astros franchise. The new ownership group is the 26-man roster of the Kansas City Royals.

Abortion rights (and many other rights) are strong and protected in states run by Dems. I suppose our moral betters on the left would rather that not be the case, but it is.

Cubs broadcast is really meme-ing it up against the Padres tonight.

Seeing stuff like this in the Dodgers' game thread gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. Cubs taking 2 of 3 and having some chances in the one they lost was quite the nice statement to make.

I got up to go to the bathroom and apparently missed the weirdest thing.
