It was only a few months ago when experts were saying that there was likely a significant cap in what Trump can achieve, due to a lack of hard support, and an abundance of hard resistance.

I think Kamala Harris entering the race is resetting that amongst centrists, who heard about the Trump/Biden debates and thought they might be able to swallow the return of Trump.

Now the calculations are different, and Trump is beginning to look like a loser... and will continue to do so by ducking debates.

Most economists agree that by age 40, you should:
- own at least one enchanted dagger
- know two hidden entrances to fairyland
- have a well developed set of antlers or bat wings, preferably both
- be covered by a thin layer of moss or fungi, your choice

Symbols you see when the map opens are heat detection by the MODIS and VIIRS satellites. This data is not real time and locations are only approximate. Sometimes this data can be 'false positive'.

For more info, see 2 links upper left corner of the map.

Never rely on any map or anything else you see online to ignore an order to evacuate. The fire officials have information that you do not.

Leah on MSNBC: "We've got 15 states that we've identified where we can win the presidency, the Senate, and the House. We are going to go hard in those states. We've actually built out a tool that helps regular people...make a difference in this election."

"We've identified the voters that we need to reach in your neighborhood, like maybe down your block, and you go and you talk to those voters."

This platform is pretty good at deceiving me that the world is different than it is. I am optimistic about Harris, but the reality is that the election is on a knife's edge. "Enthusiasm" might be something that people feel who already were going to vote for Biden in states that were already solid Biden. Unclear what the accurate picture of the electorate actually is.

TIL that after the collapse of the Old Egyptian Kingdom, regional warlords (Nomarchs) sprang up as the bloated royal government went bankrupt. The end of the Old Kingdom allowed Nomarchs to control their own resources, significantly increasing the quality of life across Egypt. (2686-2181 BCE)
