ive found myself thinking "huh okay what ethnic coalition is this candidate associated with? well i guess that resolves how im voting" this is basically how our ancestors lived. political version of reverting to life before indoor plumbing. sure sucks to remember flush toilets
not looking forward to this election because its highly unlikely anything gets much better and reasonably likely things end up meaningfully worse i expect this to be true of all american electoral cycles for the foreseeable future. enjoy arbys

At some point, every pyramid scheme collapses. The object of this scam was to influence expectations. Once it no longer mattered, because voting had begun, the money guys needed to cover costs.
regardless of which team you support: how does a 75%+ favorite swing to underdog on election day? why would prediction markets get it that bad? what am I missing here?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
He was trading at 51-52% not 75%… kalshi.com/markets/senate…

Remember when you took a huge shit on ordinary Americans, called us lazy, and insulted our children? I suspect you'll be held accountable for that string of unhinged insults tonight. The destruction of your career is probably worth 4 years of a Democrat governor in Ohio.
Today: vote for lower property taxes, lower electric bills, more affordable homes, and safer streets. Starting tomorrow: hold me accountable for it.

Anyone got any good suggestions for election coverage? I refuse to watch Fox News.

King Arthur was cursed with a strange disease, and only an old, ugly witch could cure him... But the witch demanded a young, handsome knight as her husband; Galahad took one for the team and married her. On the night of the wedding, the witch turned into a beautiful woman and offered Galahad the choice: she could be old and ugly during the day, and young and beautiful at night, or vice versa. Galahad told her that he respected her choice over her appearance, and she could decide that. The witch was pleased, as Galahad knew what a woman wanted the most, is freedom over her body. She told Galahad that she would be a beautiful wife all the time for him. The moral of the story is that no matter how good your wife looks, she is still a witch underneath.

Y'all this is appreciated but I'm going to have to start muting "hard R" before I die laughing
I am a moderate Democrat. I can’t believe what’s happened to my party. My wife left me and took the kids to live with her family in the Philippines. This election, I am proud to vote “hard R” Republican for the first time ever. Country over party 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Volunteered handing out sample ballots this morning with my children in NoVa and chatted with the Democrat volunteers about how their innocent presence made us all more friendly (you know, civil). It was great. But they were horrified multiple times when amped up voters snapped at me and/or my children or said something nasty about protecting their right to abortion (they’re 5 and 2). And of course nobody snapped at them. I am used to it (and my children didn’t even notice it) but I think these sweet old Episcopalian ladies realized today despite what they see at their No Kings rallies, they’re no longer the face (or heart) of the party.

Here’s the thing about Paxton. I don’t actually know how corrupt he is, but he survived every attempt to oust him and everyone who tried, he’s destroyed. So he may be a douchebag, but I expect him to be Team Red’s douchebag, AND that keeps that fairy kween from being Team Blue’s lockstep vote. With such narrow leads in the Senate, each leading vote from Team Red takes two to overcome.
Easiest vote I’ve ever cast, even with Ken Paxton being a corrupt douchebag. At least neither he nor his supporters hate my children, my God, or my country. I’m done with this gay-race-commie crap perpetuated by weirdos who only want to tear down what great people built because they have no purpose or meaning in life. Imperfect Christians, using imperfect capitalism, built an imperfect Western Civilization, and it’s the greatest thing to happen to mankind. Don’t let losers try to destroy it just because it isn’t perfect.

Leftists don’t need blacks anymore; now they’re just courting the ascendant power that they themselves invited into our house. What the actual cuck indeed.

I don't want them expelled. I think foreign nationals committing felonies should be charged as enemy combatants
Since January 20, 2025, California has released nearly 24,000 criminal illegal aliens from jail back into American communities. There are more than 81,000 criminal charges or convictions associated with these non-honored detainers, including: 169 homicides 147 sexual assaults 1,088 drug trafficking charges 1,097 assaults 3,295 burglaries Sanctuary politicians may continue trying to harbor illegal alien murderers and child abusers, but the Trump Administration will ALWAYS put the American people first by arresting and removing criminal illegal aliens.

Shit like this is why early voting is a great idea. Much more time to fix "problems" Democrats running the polls can't fuck around over 2 weeks like they can one day.
Received this message from a voter: “Lower Yoder Township in Johnstown PA is missing more than 50% of their names and are turning people away.” 📍Pennsylvania

Chemical engineering is an amazing thing. Do citric acid next.
Much of the L-cysteine in bread dough has been made from feathers and hair. FDA allows it as a dough strengthener in yeast-raised baked goods, at up to 0.009 parts per 100 parts flour. Gluten is held together partly by disulfide bonds. L-cysteine breaks some of them, so the dough mixes faster, stretches further and handles better on the machines. Wacker, one of the companies that makes it, lists buns, toast, tortillas and pizza dough among the uses. The traditional way to make it is to break down keratin from duck and chicken feathers, hog bristles and human hair in acid and pull the cysteine out. A 2017 trade report put more than 50% of world production on that route, and a 2024 review still called it the most common method. Fermentation from plant sugar is the alternative, and Wacker sells a version it says uses no animal materials. The label doesn't have to say which one it is. Hot Pockets lists L-cysteine hydrochloride in the dough conditioner for its crust.
