Dispatch, suspect is asking if we know who they are. Contact the local Alzheimer’s care facilities, see if they have any runaways.

It’s not intentional gerrymandering the same way that can happen when laying out congressional districts every 10 years, but it’s a form of gerrymandering from where the state boundaries got drawn. In addition, smaller population states have a disproportionate number of electoral votes, because every state gets 2 votes from their senators + a number of votes from their House members proportional to their population (minimum 1 representative, so minimum 3 total.)

Other than Nebraska and Maine, that splits their electoral votes, its winner take all within each state, so if you win a state by 1 million votes or just 1 vote, either way you win all of the state’s electoral votes.

Someone ran the numbers, based on the 2012-2021 congressional map, and worst case, you could win the popular vote 78.7% to 21.3% and still loose the election.

The Republicans have won the presidency three times this century, but have only won the popular vote once, on George W. Bush’s second campaign in 2004. The Electoral College screwed us over in 2000 (Bush vs Gore) and 2016 (Trump vs Clinton).

The Deomocrats have also won the presidency three times this century, but also carried the popular vote every time they did. (Also, every time they won, Joe Biden has been on the ticket…)

The last Grumman LLV rolled off the assembly line 30 years ago, and has been probably been driven six days a week, except federal holidays, ever since. I’m not surprised they’re on their last legs.

You’re not going to get the Roller Coaster achievement without really trying for it.

I heard the Dawg Pound in Cleveland is going to pretty empty this Sunday, too. (I’m sure it has nothing to do with Browns having a road game in Jacksonville.)

If he floods the market with shares, I wouldn’t be surprised if the price craters so hard it gets delisted.

“This… former president” is also up there. It’s so much fun thinking of all the other options she swallowed during that pause.

It’s a little complicated, because the school district gets its own budget even though the town and the school district have the same boundaries, and school and town taxes are billed and payed together.

School: $51M Town: $19.2M Police expenses: $3.5M

So 18% of municipal expenses, or 5% of municipal + school.

Interestingly, only 3/4 of the municipal income comes from property tax. The rest comes from licenses, permit fees, service fees, registration fees for rec council programs, and even the concession stand revenue at the municipal ice rink.

It doesn’t even matter. Even if Taylor Swift never makes another dollar, she’s still set for life.

“Melania keeps bringing it up all the time, I don’t understand why.”

No one pours them like you, Lloyd!

Such projection. Trying to drastically change the rules less than two months before Election Day, that’s rigging.

Why do we have to keep fighting for a higher minimum wage? We should just set it at a livable rate then have it automatically adjusted annually based on CPI or a similar economic metric.

The finest watch commander Mathnet ever had.

We can at least all agree that there’s a pretty big gulf in quality between later three NuTrek shows (Lower Decks, Strange New Worlds, and Prodigy) and the first two (Discovery and Picard).

Janeway was under the effects of a mind swap in the first image. That at least explains the weird pose.

I know Jenny’s number, but I forget the area code.

“You are the least useful steam engine I’ve ever heard of!”

“Ah, but you have heard of me.”

Strange New Worlds Spock would approve.
