just an accident I presume.

 

Ah, Politico updated.

Editor's note: Due to a technical error, an earlier version of this graphic mistakenly reported that Biden had made his VP selection. We regret the mistake.

Better than Rice I guess?

 

I guess I would say Harris is one of the better choices on his list, I would certainly prefer her over Rice or Demings. Still wish it would be Warren but I think that ship has sailed.

 

Lol holy shit

Fantastic.

And the obvious question was just answered by the school: Tuition rates will NOT be reduced. They say we will still have access to the "high quality faculty and course materials, all of which bear the stamp of approval of the highest level accrediting bodies in their area".

How Police Unions Fight Reform, a long piece in the New Yorker by William Finnegan. "Imagine a nurses' union that hated patients, that went on TV and talked about how much trouble the patients give them."

A new poll indicates that "an increasingly broad majority of Americans are wearing masks in public". The numbers are up significantly since June. Common sense and public health are winning out.

Inexpensive paper-strip tests for Covid-19 designed for near-daily use, that give near-instant results, and only detect high levels of virus could be key in controlling the virus.

 

Gonna be real interesting to see the histrionics from the GOP if Biden wins ... come say ... April of 2021.
