Young women are more liberal than they have been in decades, according to a Gallup analysis of more than 20 years of polling data. 

Over the past few years, about 4 in 10 young women between the ages of 18 and 29 have described their political views as liberal, compared with two decades ago when about 3 in 10 identified that way.

For many young women, their liberal identity is not just a new label. The share of young women who hold liberal views on the environment, abortion, race relations and gun laws has also jumped by double digits, Gallup found.

Congressman Jamie Raskin (MD-08) and Congressman Don Beyer (VA-08) renewed their efforts to bring ranked choice voting to U.S. congressional elections, reintroducing their *Ranked Choice Voting Act *. Senator Peter Welch (D-VT) is introducing companion legislation in the Senate. 

The legislation would require ranked choice voting (RCV) in all congressional primary and general elections starting in 2028, allowing voters to express support for multiple candidates for public office, with the candidate receiving the most votes declared the winner.

Their surgeon general is something else

After having the notion to make a parody product of Sun Maid Raisins, I discovered that Paramount made their own official faux product, but decided to forage ahead regardless.

Original and official parody for reference:

“We are all culpable,” Matt Nelson said before lighting himself on fire. This is the third such incident in a year.

Don't ask to see inside, however. I got distracted and never finished painting the pilot.

It’s almost as if the threat of long range missiles is scaring the shit out of Russia.

I hope NATO reply that if Russia turns Kiev into a melted spot, Moscow will follow. But to be fair it’s all ego saber rattling.

So AEW is coming to my town, and I want to go. One problem. Ticketmaster.

In order to sign up for an account, you need to create an account. In order to create an account, you need a phone number. They will not accept my voip phone number, which is what I use.

Ticketmaster says that I need to go out and buy a cell phone, AND sign up for a monthly plan. Just to buy tickets.

Money is in my account. I can pay for my tickets right now. I've been trying since yesterday when they went on sale.

But I can't create an account, because of a lack of a cell phone number.

The box office won't be open until october 18. Show is on October 30th.

So I'm sure all the good seats will be gone by then.

Guess I'm not going to a show I've wanted to go to for 2 years. I couldn't go last year because I was dealing with cancer, and had $0 income.
