Two pictures of US political figures over a scale from left to right. The perception picture shows the figures evenly spaced from the far left to the far right. The reality picture shows the figures skewed heavily to the right, with only Bernie Sanders being left of center. This is followed by three comments: "A gentle reminder of how skewed politics are in the United States," "THIS. European schools teach that americas parties are both to the right," and "Canadian schools teach this too FYI."

This is why I find it so frustrating that the Republican party has been able to brand the Democratic party as "radical leftists." We don't have those. Wish we did-- might actually balance all the hatred and oligarchy on this see-saw.

Me: Hey JS can you sort this for me?
JS: Sure!
[10, 1, 2].toSorted() = [1, 10, 2]
Me: ?????

(In case you're curious, JS has the default behavior of turning everything in the array to strings then sorting the strings. But OH MY GOD what a stupid way to waste 10 minutes looking for a bug in my code.)

Just devoured The Daevabad Trilogy by S. A. Chakraborty and MY GOD it was a ride. Thoroughly recommend to anyone interested in a fantasy or political intrigue.
