Shed a tear, if you wish, for Nvidia founder and Chief Executive Jenson Huang, whose fortune (on paper) fell by almost $10 billion that day.
Thanks, but I think I'll pass.

I'm not familiar with how the US electoral college works. I am talking about FPTP electoral systems like those in the UK and Canada. One MP is elected per constituency, and if a party wins a majority of the seats (that is, if they have a majority of the MPs), they can form a government. In such a system it's common for a party to win the majority of seats without having a majority of votes, and possible for a party with the majority of votes not to win a majority of seats.
I've seen reports that just say someone "dies" instead of that the IDF killed them.
“Dick Cheney will be voting for Kamala Harris,” she said of her father
She should have added, "but don't let that put you off."
All institutions have a tendency to become complacent and self-serving over time. This kind of scrutiny and pressure from outside is necessary to interfere with that tendency.
As is often observed, liberals (of the political philosophy, not the party) are always far more ready to align themselves with fascists than with the left, despite their sometimes leftish words.
That's on Tuesdays. On Thursdays straws are bad because man stuff. Keep up!
You can boof it like Kavanagh too.
I suspect it's not an optimization to make every post you see interesting. For one thing, we tend to find intermittent rewards more fascinating and addictive than reliable ones. For another, if you have to scroll further you'll see more ads. But if you make it too boring people won't scroll at all. So the algorithm probably tries to make it just interesting enough to keep people scrolling, but no more.
Whether it's possible for a party to win a majority of votes but lose an election, in a first-past-the-post system, will depend on the how the electoral districts are drawn, the voter turnout in each district, and the geographical distribution of the majority. The system itself does allow this to happen.
But it sounds so legit...
After being released last year, McFarland began planning a second incarnation of Fyre festival, which he said he devised during a stint in solitary confinement. He told his followers on social media: “This is everything I’ve been working towards. Let’s fucking go.”

This isn't the worst-phrased headline I've seen, but it still feels like it's tiptoeing around "IDF kills American-Turkish activist in West Bank."
