how did Cher “pick up a boy just south of Mobile” in Gypsys Tramps and Thieves. There isn’t nothing south of Mobile. Theodore and Tillman’s Corner didn’t exist in the 1960s

I finally actually listened to “Choosin’ Texas”. It’s not even about a girl from Texas. It’s just that the two people are homesick for different states. What???

I’m discovering it’s actually fairly difficult to get lamb heart and lamb liver at a reasonable price point in DC (and I gave up on tripe)

I decided to look at precinct results in NJ/VA and it’s a lot clearer to me why NJ polls and VA polls differed—
in NJ, Sherrill’s gains were concentrated in poorer Hispanic areas like South Trenton, Perth Amboy, Elizabeth, Passaic, Clifton, Paterson and Union City.

I screwed up ordering from sweetgreen and didn’t realize their labor day weekend deal only applies to wraps… Just wasted twenty dollars

Something that I think got missed in all the primary hullaballoo yesterday: The Trump admin Census Bureau put forward an aggressive article arguing that there were 24,000 noncitizen voters in 2020 in an attempt to negate the 2020 election and set the stage for annulling elections

Ok, gonna say that I think AES wins by high 20% with every county and almost every precinct. Progs broadly sweep MI, but are unable to get more than 15% write-ins against Scholten; Bush beats Bell albeit by <10%, and MGP survives her primary, barely. Washington results are D+11 relative to 2024
