Califan007 The Constipated

It seemed to have quite an effect on voter turnout in Kansas, when people were able to directly vote on it: Voter turnout in Johnson County was over 53% as Kansans reject abortion amendment https://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/election/article263946446.html Kansas’ primary election saw monumental turnout in Johnson and Wyandotte counties as voters flocked to the polls to choose nominees for the November general election and to overwhelmingly reject the amendment on the ballot, preserving Kansans’ right to abortion in the state constitution. Statewide, turnout was around 47%. A total of 908,745 people voted on the abortion amendment, out of 1,950,971 registered Kansas voters. As many as 18.6% of these voters may have been unaffiliated with either major political party. Turnout was especially impressive in Johnson County at 53.7%: a tally nearly unheard of in a primary election. Nearly a quarter of a million votes were cast—244,818 to be precise. Around half of these votes were cast in person on Election Day, while nearly 100,000 were cast early in person. The rest were absentee ballots, some of which will continue to arrive at the election office in the coming days. The number of votes cast in Johnson County this election was more than double those cast in the 2018 primary, about 100,000 more than for the 2020 presidential primary election and about 90,000 votes shy of the county’s total votes in the 2020 general election, when turnout was 74%.

When women have a significant say-so over what men can and cannot do legally with their anatomy, I'll start to care how much they actually know about sitting on balls lol... And I knew (or more accurately, guesstimated) the number of tampons question based on buying them for my ex-wife numerous times 😂

Don't necessarily agree with her final comment, although I get what she was trying to convey and I do agree with that. And I really hope most of the men here at ES would pass with flying colors lol...

Not sure which is more impressive: the complete dislodging of his slippers, the "I meant to do that" vibe afterwards, or the Inception-like reality he almost slid into lol...

Does Wentz have a higher ceiling in turner's system that Heinicke? (not a higher "moxie" ceiling, just to be clear lol)...because if he does, and if it's significantly higher, I would want to see how close we can get to that ceiling before casting him off. If it was Howell who started these last 3 games and played exactly like Heinicke did but with a stronger arm, I would want Howell to remain starter...

This is definitely me right now...

Here's your chart with just the "young voters" shown and with the 2020 presidential election included...I still think it shows a trend of this demographic turning out in better numbers. Will have to see if it holds true for these midterms, or if Trump was so reviled it motivated voters of all ages to get out and vote.

Actually I may have ****ed up a bit lol...I think what I read compared 2014 midterm voting numbers to 2018 midterm voting numbers, not 2016 presidential voting numbers to the 2018 midterm voting numbers.

I’m talking votes. And the “young voters” that doubled between 2016-2018 were 18-24. In 2020, 50% of the 18-29 group voted.

“Dud” was more appropriate lol…

A misspelling...or was it?

Another doozy lol: He is fired at end of day. Those agencies start to pause/shift because everything feels uncertain and they don’t know who they should be coordinating with. Then, Elon gets dozens of advertiser CMOs on a call yesterday. It's amazing oppty. And basically Elon is asked: What's the plan? And it's clear he hasn't either really prepped for this/doesn’t really want to tell anybody what the plan is/has no plan. No kidding: There were CMOs who literally paused/shifted budgets DURING the call because of the uncertainty.

^^^ One more in relation to the above:

This was an interesting read: Here's the rest in case, for some reason (heh), the tweet/thread gets deleted and the user gets suspended lol... 2/ Back Twitter (like a lot of digital companies) participates in an event called new fronts. At this event, they sell large chunks of ads for the following year. Typically, Twitter sells like ~600-900M in ads at new fronts. That's guaranteed revenue for following year. 3/ This year, they didn't sell much of anything. A coalition called Stop The Deal spent time educating and using media buyers and big advertisers at the event to ask Twitter some basic questions about potential Musk takeover before giving him a guaranteed income for 2023. 4/ Media buyers did ask those questions. Twitter had zero answers or assurances, the presentation imploded and ended shockingly early. Twitter from what I understand basically sold almost nothing and locked in extremely little 2023 revenue. 5/ This means that instead of heading into 2023 with 15-20% of 2023 already secured as they typically would have, Twitter heads into next year with almost none of that. All because of Musk's red pilled edgelord approach. 6/ @elonmusk has had months to address these concerns or even learn about them. But instead, he's insisted on antagonizing the very businesses and people that sustain Twitter. Back in May, the groups and companies weren't calling for a boycott, they were asking basic questions. 7/ My point here is: It's actually worse than that I think a lot of people even appreciate all because Musk's conduct and commitments to roll back brand safety and community safeguards essentially obliterated Twitter's new front sales event that woulda secured 2023 revenue. Some of the better responses: $220 billion man who just fired 3700 Americans needs your $8 to turn a profit. Can you spare the price of one cup of coffee to help a billionaire sell your free speech back to you? Luke Zaleski @ZaleskiLuke Never fear, Elon is smoothing everything out with the advertisers... Jon Farrington @CalvertCrest (see below lol)

Elon:

Dave Butz was the first defensive lineman who I became a HUGE fan of...and the story of him running over roadkill for mental preparation and good luck on the way to the stadium just fit him so perfectly lol. RIP to a Redskins legend. ✊

The number of young voters doubled from 2016 to 2018, and then increased another 11 percentage points between 2018 and 2020. Sounds like they were doing exactly what you wanted them to do.

^^ Purbeast hates everything lol... I saw Barbarian. I'd give it a B-. What I liked: entertaining enough, creepy enough, some good laughs, some way out there violence, nice mixing up of timelines so that it's not just straight linear, had just enough twists and turns, having the setting be a derelict neighborhood with one nice house instead of the other way around (a derelict house in the middle of a nice neighborhood...think "It" for example), said "holy ****" more than once lol... Did not like: decision making of some characters, none of the people who could have helped bothered to lift a finger (emergency phone operator, the police, the management rep for the house...all of them were rude and dismissive in service of moving the plot forward), a few cliches that didn't feel natural (especially the "convention in town so no rooms available"), no real explanation for the...um..."thing" to exist the way it did other than wanting to make it unnerving, not sure how the homeless guy knew as much as he did, and they did not stick the landing at the end.
