Would I prefer another candidate? Sure. Will I vote for Biden, especially against Trump? With alacrity!

Autobot wasn't great with this article. Basically you can say whatever you want as long as you don't bring up voting fraud since that resulted in a huge settlement against Fox News.

I am super excited for Ferrari but know that the race strategy will somehow fumble this fantastic qualifying for the team. I've been hurt too many times.

Congratulations to Gukesh! Anand's enduring legacy is all of the super strong GMs whose careers are just coming into focus that were inspired by his championship reign. I'm sure Anand is super proud of him and all of the others close behind. My hope is that Ding has a similar effect on China in a few years.

It was pretty entertaining. Q1 and Q2 had just enough dampness to cause issues for everyone. Albon was P1 in Q1 which as it turned out was not really a fluke as he ended up P4. There were 2 red flags throughout, Hamilton under-performing, and then Max doing what he does best at the end of Q3 in front of the home crowd.

Chris Christie had a great quote about the Republican field: "why are you going to drink new coke when you still have the option of coke classic?" He's the only one of this field saying the emperor has no clothes and for the life of me I don't know what any of these other yahoos are doing in the race. It's Trump's party now and not even him going to jail will change that in their eyes.

I applaud lichess for shining a light on this important issue. Chess should be a welcoming game for everyone. There should be no place for sexist assholes.
