NYT as soon as a candidate they don't like has a shot at winning:
RCV has led to a positive, substantive campaign with Lander and Mamdani acting as if they're in a buddy comedy about who loves New York more and Mamadani encouraging his supporters to donate to A. Adams. And then there's Cuomo, set apart from it all, fear mongering about a city in decline.

"For Montreal fans, Garry Galley remains a sore point. Galley has helped more anglos improve their French than the entire OQLF — by sending them in droves to the superb RDS broadcasts with Pierre Houde alongside Marc Denis."
Ha. SO true. Ponticelli does the same for the LPHF.
Even if they're not in jail, none of these people should have driver's licenses! Why give them a speed limiter if they're not legally allowed to drive?

Around 118 of every million Americans died in crashes in 2020, two and a half times the Canadian rate of 46.
Canada's rules DO have better public safety outcomes.
This is a policy specifically aimed at recidivists. You think they won't borrow or rent a car and speed in that?
Ontario takes away their car and imposes fines up to $10K.

Why was Mariam not in jail? Someone with 90 tickets should not be on the streets.

If you drive drunk in Canada, that's what happens. This should be no different.

Handmade zine: As we know, the Grossmont Union High School District Board of Trustees is a pack of buffoons. The good news: Three of the Board members have to run for re-election in 2026! Let's tell voters all about these absolute clowns!
Vote out the failed CPA— Robert Shield Cartoon with speech bubble: “Has anyone seen my calculator” Tell voters in Santee + Lakeside about Robert's budget lies! Next page: Vote out Gary C. Woods Cartoon speech bubble: “The C" stands for Corrupt!” → Gary misuses public school funds WHILE he profits from his private school ousiness. Tell voters in El Cajon about Gary’s little plan!
And let's toss out — Jim "Smelly" Kelly (Drawing of a fish with Xs for eyes and wavy stink lines) Jim’s greatest hits: L firing librarians. → firing teachers. → hiring his buddies! → Firing school psychologists. Speech bubble: “WTF” Tell voters in: Jamul, Alpine, Lakeside, Harbinson Canyon
Front and back of the zine: Front: Operation: Kick out the school board goons Three cartoon faces, one with a speech bubble that says: “We Stink!” Another says: “me too” Back, typed: Please note: - Trustee Chris Fite is doing fine. Give him a high five if you see him. Trustee Scott Eckhart is a spineless little twerp though. We'll get to replace him in the 2028 election. No one actually knows what Gary's middle initial "C" stands for, so you're free to brainstorm your own fitting C word. The illustration of Jim Kelly is an artist's rendering. We cannot confirm if flies have gathered in Jim's putrescence at this time. Jim Kelly lists his business phone number at Allstate on his public GUHSD profile. Be polite and DO NOT call him at 619-562-9199 to share your thoughts about his failures on the Board of Trustees. Come on, guys.
This protest zine was made by a student in the Grossmont Union High School District and passed out at the board meeting on Tuesday.
The kids are going to be alright.

It's sad ABC killed what was left of FiveThirtyEight (538?).
But it's journalistic malpractice to pull down the abcnews.go.com/538 page, too. Bonkers decision.
man ABC completely blew it on this. absolute fumble. it feels like it's been the end of an era for most of an era but this is kind of devastating anyway.
