John McCain is the only Republican presidential candidate since the 80s to over perform congressional republicans.

Every piece of writing advice I hear is violated by the classics. Frankenstein isn't introduced until something like fifteen pages in, and he doesn't make the monster until the fiftieth page, a quarter of the way through. The entire first chapter of The Lord of the Rings is just explaining what hobbits are before there's even a hint of plot or stakes. Dune just throws a bunch of in-universe jargon at you and expects you to figure it out.

They’re trying to build a big data center that generates its own electricity in rural Utah (Box Elder County, size of Connecticut, population ~60k) functionally around nothing and somehow pink-haired septum-pierced “local protestors” showed up to “protest”

I know this is implying a Vance/Rubio ticket, but it would be hilariously humiliating if Vance were made to be VP under two separate presidents.
