Democrat Katie Hobbs is leading Republican Kari Lake in Arizona governor’s race with a little more than half of precincts reporting, and though much could change as ballots are counted, the GOP nominee is already casting doubt about the election results.
She didn't even wait until she'd lost; her motto is "Lie early and often."
It's a plot from Dr. Strangelove. The elite of rich and powerful men would go into a bunker to escape the epidemic not to emerge until the pandemic has burned itself out. They'll need to repopulate the world, so
since each man will be required to do prodigious... service along these lines, the women will have to be selected for their sexual characteristics which will have to be of a highly stimulating nature.
Ah, is that why the original presidential election system worked so badly, that its creators assumed the US as a while was too large for there to be two national parties?
Major League Baseball didn't exist as an entity the way it does today. There were separate National and American Leagues, that couldn't even agree on a permanent World Series until 1905, and that didn't have any common organization until 1920, when they were both desperate for someone to address the gambling issue.
BTW, not just Chicago and New York; there were also two teams in Boston, Philadelphia, and St. Louis.
“Don’t act like a member of the class in poverty… act like a member of the *MIDDLE CLASS*!!!
This reminded me of the discussion of Black English (AKA Ebonics). Even though linguistically, it's simply a slightly different dialect of English, it conjures bad associations for many people, including lots of potential employers, so speaking it has genuine disadvantages. But the answer to this is not trying to teach "Don’t talk like all the people you know… talk like *WHITE PEOPLE*!!!",

If we could just prove the lab leak theory, we'd know whose fault it is, and that would mean that the masks and vaccines are useless.

Note that the U.S. Supreme Court does NOT get to decide this; the state supreme court is the final authority on questions regarding that state’s law.
Bush vs. Gore was an exception, because of the overriding legal principle that the wrong guy might have won.

Sunak is 42, Truss is 47, and even Johnson is only 58. Where does the UK find all these young politicians?

More that it was suspected he might. When no vaccine came out before the election, that suspicion expired.
