I have linked to other people talking about the new G Line. But like a fool, I had not taken it yet. Now that I have, I think it’s neat. It’s tough to do east-west connections within Seattle. And man does it. I took it at rush hour and it seems like it could add more people comfortably.
Also, I have never rode some of the Rapid Ride lines outside of the city, so forgive me if this is old hat there, but I can’t recall a bus with doors on either side depending on the stop. Obviously that’s how light rail and the streetcar work, but just adding it to a bus feels innovative.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

The primary reason they are convinced it will be voter fraud is the chosen media.
You know how much airtime and web presence giving rationed Covid Test Equipment to Putin is getting over on Fox?
But they have THREE different click throughs on the ‘huge gaffe’ ‘fumble’ of Harris on Colbert.
And the big banner story on how Newmax TVs Mark Halperin is noting that the latest national poll is inside the margin of error.
How can they lose?

It’s likely that many/most of the quality* swing state polls and national polls will remain within the MOE through election day.
That’s a normal expectation given what we already know about the polarization in the elctorate and how “undecided” voters respond to pre-election surveys.
Remember that in past election polling analysis that was seen to have “failed” it was most often because of two significant features of that analysis: the modeled electorate was wrong and the assumption that “undecided voters” would split was wrong. That happened in both 2016 and to a lesser extent in 2020. In 2016 that resulted in poll analysts being overconfident about the probability of Clinton winning. In 2020 it resulted in poll analysts being underconfident about the probability of Biden/Democrats winning.
We won’t know how badly pollsters modeled turnout until months from now. All any campaign can do is put in the work to produce the turnout. But we can pay attention to quality poll crosstabs to understand how undecided voters in swing states may be breaking. Remember that these undecided voters in these states are not anything like us when it comes to politics. They simply aren’t nearly as aware of events surrounding the campaigns or the candidates. And in a sense Stephen Colbert is right in saying that “it is about the vibes”.
Trump is doing a much better job than he was a month ago talking more about the voters and their concerns and less about himself and his concerns. The critical things seems to be that his campaign have found a few key grievances that he shares with voters and then turned him loose on those. His messaging about these grievances may be flawed and even dangerous, but it is at least about the voters more than it is about himself.
Harris has to remain as disciplined as she has been and keep pounding away at her same messaging addressing the issues the voters say they care about, and avoid getting drawn into editorializing about her opponent. The only time the Harris campaign should be talking about Trump is when they are pointing out how some specific promise or threat of his will frustrate or worsen their biggest issues and concerns they have.
The campaign has announced that as part of their closing argument they will be running some messaging that is more directed at criticizing Trump. Watch closely. And see that it will be focused on Trump’s promises to cut taxes for his billionaire pals, raise costs for everyone else with ruinous tariffs, pass a nationwide abortion ban, and deploy soldiers into our communities to go to war against us and our neighbors.
*Remember that in this final month the media are swamped with shit polling from untested sources using both untested methodology and even obviously flawed methodology.

And what are their concerns? He might talk about lowering inflation – they don’t respond.. golf claps..
He talks about “sending them the hell back” and they scream their asses off.
Their “concerns” are white supremacy. The tariffs? They’ll raise prices but to them it means punishing China – people who don’t look like them.

Yup. It’s a real dilemma, but one the campaign has embraced.
The only way to get their candidate to address the concerns of voters is to steer him towards the things that unleash his most vile racist, misogynist, bigoted, and violent tendencies. Push him to talk about public safety and he talks about giving police “a national day of violence” and conducting summary executions in the streets. Steer him to talk about immigration and he talks about actual Nazi Race Science and ethnic cleansing.
And because the candidate says what he says, every other Republican, including every Republican candidate down the ballot, is forced to defend it. And thus it becomes incorporated into the party brand. Forever.
It’s not really at all the same as when Chip Roy says some digusting and offensive shit. This is the party standard bearer who is seen to be articulating the party’s message to the American people. And it’s an extremely racist, violent, and misogynistic message that is being lodged with moderate and unaligned voters in every part of the country. It absolutely kills them in places like Washington or California. But it probably doesn’t help as much as they need it to in places like rural Michigan or Montana.

People are in the socials complaining that Disney has shut down the monorail and several of the rides ruining their vacation* when the hurricane is still 12 hours or so away. Not like the folks running the rides need to get themselves to safety or anything.

I’m not an English teacher, but if I’m not mistaken, “I have never ridden” is the correct usage. “I have rode” doesn’t sound right.
