Kamala Harris: I think that going in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea. I was in the Senate for the last go-round, and the votes aren’t there. I think after the election, we all have to just also agree that our attitude has to be to get stuff done…

With the Sox down, 2-0, Garrett Crochet is warming during the top of the sixth. The Sox have gone 26 straight postseason innings (dating to Game 2 of last year's WC Series) without scoring a run.

ux friends, does anyone have any resources (papers, studies, blog posts, talks, ...) exploring canvas interfaces, node base uis, that kind of thing... there's a wealth for visual programming but im struggling to find the same interest in other kinds of canvas apps/interfaces.

The Red Sox signed Patrick Sandoval to a 2-year, $18,250,000 deal essentially *while he was getting TJ surgery,* buying out his recovery year and owning his first year back. He has pitched about 58 innings of 1.8ish WHIP ball, and compiled -0.2 bWAR. Feels like there was a better use of $18.25mm.

BABY TUCKER CARLSON: And I have to wonder, where did mommy go? I saw her hands go to her face, and she was gone. What’s happening here? What’s the plan? Am I supposed to believe mommy’s not there anymore and that’s ok? Because that’s the plan, that’s the goal
