Today is my Not Gonna Die Day. Six years ago today, I was rushed to the hospital with what I'd later learn was severe sepsis. Sepsis recently claimed the life of my colleague's son. Please learn the signs of sepsis because early intervention saves lives.

The market is rewarding these businesses not for anything they’ve done, but merely for who their CEO and largest stockholders happen to be.

Jeff Bezos stopped the Washington Post from endorsing Harris on Oct 25. Amazon stock popped up today. Bezos’s net worth jumped over $7B because of the non-endorsement.

Why was Elon Musk willing to spend $119M on electing Trump? Just look at Tesla stock today. He’s $15B richer because of the bump. That’s a 12,600% return on investment. This is all about the buying and selling of a presidency. Most elections are, this one is just nakedly so.

@spooky_ellenk Order the sushi

I have so much food at home but the stress of the day makes me wanna order sushi. Plz stop me.

✅ vote plan executed: I had to wear stretchy pants, Birkenstocks with socks, and a giant ice pack strapped to my back over the incision site, but my vote is cast! LFG @KamalaHarris @Tim_Walz

@NateSilver538 For a difference within a single poll question, I understood the “margin of error” to mean the difference must be greater than the calculation to be significant. In this case a lead of greater than 6.6 is considered significant. Not that the lead is between T+3.6 and H+9.6

So I have some thoughts about that Selzer poll. A lot of thoughts. Excuse any typos, this was put together fast, though we did catch all the "Seltzers". natesilver.net/p/a-shocking-i…

Finally framed my Robert Indiana print from the 1976 Democratic National Committee’s Voter Registration Program. Thanks to Jimmy Carter for commissioning this! On Tuesday I’ll be casting my ballot for @KamalaHarris and @Tim_Walz. (I’m sure this shocks exactly *none* of you).

Everyone wants a Derek. A new episode of #Shrinking is now streaming.

Hey @TheAthletic, this is really a piece of data visualization malpractice

😂 go home @MLS, you’ve had enough to drink. Look at this list of “featured players” for @MNUFC - not a single one is on the roster 😂

Shrinking with a universal truth: “Aw, I want a Derek” “Everyone does”

Tonight was another magical night of music, this time with Stevie Wonder at Target Center in Minneapolis. It’s hard to find the words to express what it was like to hear all of these classics live for the first time.

.@maggierogers was magical tonight at @TargetCenterMN in Minneapolis. Among the many highlights, she did a beautiful piano cover of Prince’s I Would Die 4 U, right across the street from @FirstAvenue where Prince made the song famous in Purple Rain (video in last attachment)

HEY @X - STOP SENDING ME MEGYN KELLY NOTIFICATIONS. There’s a reason I don’t follow her. I don’t need you pushing your propaganda agenda in my notifications.

@natepentz Right???? According to the EPA there are 9.2 million lead service pipes distributing water in the US today. Wisconsin ranked 10th for the most lead service pipes epa.gov/system/files/d…

You know it’s early when your day started before @JillRileyRadio hit the air. Good morning, Jill!

ESPN put up this graphic for the best start for a QB with his 4th+ team. 4 of those top 5 wore a Vikings jersey at some point in their careers.

@donnelly612 @FIFAcom

@donnelly612 @FIFAcom It’s from an email I received from FIFA

Fuck you @FIFAcom. Making people buy some bullshit tchotchkes in order to “earn” the right to attempt to buy tickets (had to double check that) is bullshit. And extortion, so basically the most FIFA thing ever. Did I say fuck you? I’m pretty sure I said fuck you. If not, fuck you
