It's actually the fourth failure of eight (if you count explosions) or eight out of eight (if you count failure to reach low earth orbit).

The most badass national anthem in the world.

It's not flightworthy and shows no signs of getting there. The regulatory capture is breathtakingly awful.

Carl Dean was a role model for all husbands of independently successful women (including me). We loved him because he loved Dolly. And we still do.

In a helpmate in n, Black moves first and cooperates with White such that White checkmates black on White's nth move.
Set play in a helpmate is a cooperative mating line without Black's first move. In a helpmate in two, a set mate is reached by White moving, Black moving, and White mating.

However, the correction creates a secondary error: a self block at g2 which permits the queen to mate from h4. 2/2

The gubernatorial race is statewide.

Which is precisely what they have the votes to do, to be fair.

This. Math is math, and Jeffries is correct to point out that he needs three Republicans. That both places the blame at the source and correctly acknowledges the math.

Canadian draughts is the same concept but in a board game. Too many men on a ridiculously huge field of play.

While 4-down football generally attracts better players, 3-down football is hands down the better game.

Every time I do a Project VoteSmart-like survey in Germany or Switzerland, I come out as a Christian Democrat. And I consider myself plenty left of center here.

Takeaways:
1. Likely outcome: Conservatives (CDU) take back the chancellorship. They'll need a partner for a majority; likely a 'grand coalition' with the SPD.
2. AfD at highest level. But also underperforming polls + down from when Vance + Musk intervened.
3. Die Linke surged in final weeks.

You can see stakes in this seat projection (h/t @mathieugallard.bsky.social).
On the left, the projected seats if the FDP & BSW reach 5%. On the right, if they don't cross it.
You can see how the question of their seats affects the entire math: SPD + CDU would need a third partner (Greens? FDP?)

If BSW or FDP (or both) break five percent and get list seats, the CDU and SPD would likely have to bring on the Greens, which would make things more complex. I hope Deutsche Welle is right and ZDF is wrong.

Precisely. Democrats are doing what they can to the extent they can without having the votes.
"We need three Republicans to join us" is correct, both by placing the blame where it belongs and as math.

Polk's low public rating surprises me, but I got a steady dose of Tennessee's Presidents in 7th grade history, so I might be biased.
