Wow, old machine died and my access to everything went with it. Oh well.
exit poll data is fascinating sometimes more than 60 percent of RNC supporters have no education beyond highschool. TBH its painfully clear in the voter breakdowns.
When a politician spouts crap about weather guns, eating cats and dogs but nobody stops to question the validity of it, yes the exit poll data says volumes about voter intellect.

A medical study published in Nature, indicates transmission of Alzheimer's Disease is possible between people. The transmission material appears to be an Amyloid Beta protein, found to be prevalent in Cadaver sourced human growth hormone from deceased who were infected with CJD. That c-HGH was used to treat living patients, prior to development of synthetic HGH.
No known transmission vector exists for any other cases of #alzheimers .

Fluorescent green sodium hydroxide liquid, leaked from Tesla's Palo Alto headquarters, flows along a street gutter. The chemical, which is used as coolant for Tesla's "AI supercomputer," eventually ran into Matadero Creek. Fire officials say more than 500 gallons were recovered, as cleanup efforts continue into next week.

Tesla doesn't have a permit to store the chemical, and "could be fined."

Tesla spills bright green chemical into Palo Alto creek

Cleanup efforts continue after Tesla dumped a bright green chemical into a storm drain last week from its Palo Alto offices, officials say.

I saw an article about birds #adapting to anti-bird types of countermeasures on buildings, particularly those who are known to exhibit improvising tools or use of tools.
They took those spike strips and made nests out of them while others who are predators used it to spike a prey animal it caught.
I've seen it with my own eyes, wood peckers and starlings adjusted to my own attempts by learning to fly under my roof, invert themselves and latch onto the screens i'd set up, hammering away.
@adamconover I am not sure if you are aware of it but your link on the page to tickets takes me to car and driver magazine, not a ticket agent.
Either my clicks/your link is being hijacked (its happened to me before on yahoo pages) or your webpage needs fixin'..

It's a manifestation of reverse psychology and mob psychology, we are seeing it in real time in different parts of the world, in different ways.
Extremism is its own worst enemy as it ultimately forces people to organize opposition to it.
What I am seeing happen in the real world lately seems like prime cannon fodder for someone's future doctoral thesis on the subject.

Extremism breeds opposition, who'da thunk it!? :)

Study suggests disruptive protests by fringe groups give moderate groups more support

A team of social scientists at the Social Change Lab, in the U.K., working with a sociologist from the University of South Carolina, has found evidence to support what has come to be known as "the positive radical flank effect"—where protests by radical groups lead to more support for less radical groups.

Glad to say I voted recently, and I sincerely hope #Kamala wins.
If there is one thing I can say that is important, something i've yet to see in politics in the last few decades:

Be humble in victory, also don't forget to be gracious in defeat.

This is nation is more divided now than i've seen in my nearly half century of existence. Who wins or loses matters not if the country is the one taking the hit and people put too much importance in the non-substantive rhetoric being tossed around..

"how you love yourself is
how you teach others
to love you".
