I wouldn’t say zero penalty; his poll numbers are shit. They were before the story leaked, but nobody seems to be Teflon the way Trump is. He’s possibly tanking North Carolina down ballot, and could even flip the state for Kamala. His political career is surely finished. It would have been before now if the GOP had their way, they tried really hard to get him to drop out.
That is accurate in a theoretical bubble, but in practice, in a two party system, in an incredibly close race, it’s simply not true.
By your own logic if A wins by 1 vote and you chose not to vote for your guy, B, you essentially gave your vote to A. Good job.
We live in a two party system. Not voting for your guy is essentially a vote for the other guy. Especially when elections are this close.

There’s not as many as you’d think, it’s just they’re all so loud and every single one of them has an eyesore of a cybertruck. It’s like confirmation bias.

Austin doesn’t want him either.
Lt. Gov Dan Patrick is on a crusade to end property taxes and replace them with…🤷♀️
He’s actually been around since the Soviet Union. He perfected the art of invisible paper pushing.
You don’t think he’s spending any of that on his campaign or legal fees, do you? That’s his money.
His fundraising is going historically terrible right now.
I’ve seen lots of speculation that Trumbo is trying to get himself thrown in jail for the publicity of it all. It would result in a huge fundraising boost and conservative outrage, even if just for a short while, and no one wants to give him the satisfaction.
It’s this. He testified today, and earlier against Cohen, in exchange for immunity for crimes that he willfully and knowingly committed.
The Old Testament is the Hebrew Bible. The New Testament is the book where Jesus says, “f those first five books. Turn the other cheek.”
Like I said, it’s about viewership, and the UK brings very little of that compared to the US, Russia, and China.
If you really cared to see the best, you’d know who Simone Biles is. Everyone tunes in to see their guys win.
The competition between USA, Russia, and China is what gets people to tune in, really. With anyone of those countries not participating, viewership tanks, is my guess.
There’s also the whole thing about eschewing politics. Traditionally wars were paused for the Olympics, but I’m pretty sure that’s irrelevant today, especially when the US led a boycott of the Moscow Olympics in 1980 and then Russia boycotted the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984. It’s really about viewership.
Oh and the IOC is notoriously corrupt. If Russia pays to participate, the IOC will find every which way to let them, no matter how badly they cheat and genocide, same with the US and China.
It has been understood by some for a long time, but not all. Especially when morbid curiosity is what brings visitors to your museum; without that morbid curiosity, you likely can’t make enough to stay open.
NAGPRA was renegotiated by a Native American Secretary of the Interior and, wouldn’t you know, having diverse voices helps people understand things differently, thus the massive change this year in the way museums display human remains. That’s a good thing. Be mad about the past so it doesn’t happen again, but also be glad that the display stops now.
As for using a cast, I’m sure they have one. But I don’t know if using one affects how medical research is conducted.
Oh yeah ETA: until the advent of the Internet, doctors coming to a place to examine collections of medical specimens was indeed the only way to do certain kinds of medical research.
There is likely medical knowledge to gain from seeing and understanding Gage’s injury that can help other people with headwounds. Not from the binding of a book.
I’ve heard rumors that it was leaked by the GOP specifically to get him to drop out before it was too late, but he’s a stubborn Trumper, so I hope they’re enjoying the beast they created.
