Get out and vote if you live in a State with early voting. Seriously, find out how to do it and go do it. Most places make it easy and quick. And if you can avoid the election day lines and shenanigans that’s all for the better. You don’t have to worry about them forgetting to open a polling station. Loading the wrong size paper into the ballot printers so the scanners won’t take them. The last minute failure of printers or scanners to boot up. The kind of stuff that happened in Arizona two years ago. Or maybe mother nature drops a storm on you that makes it impossible to vote. Get your vote in now. Get it in early. Let’s vote so much the Democrats decide to ban early voting entirely because it ain’t helping them anymore. 😉

I watched the interview between Bret Baier and Kamala Harris. It was more a debate than an interview, and though Bret asked questions pertaining to the issues at the top of what the electorate cares about, she did her normal word salad filibustering, taking large chunks of time to not answer the questions asked while attacking Trump as unfit and dangerous and all the other buzz words that have resulted in at least two assassination attempts on him. When Bret sought to bring her back around to the questions asked, she talked over his redirects. In one of the last questions before her aids waved an end to the interview, she actually crossed her arms, sighed, and talked down to Bret like he was a child. Her fans loved her performance and thought it was great that she took it to Bret based on the news articles I’ve seen. I thought her antics and attitude were disgusting. It will be interesting to see if she hurt or helped her standing with the Kamala Curious by acting the way she did.

A SpaceX booster just lifted off from its cradle to launch a starship into orbit before flying back to land in the cradle it departed 7 minutes previously. “Single Stage to Infinity” is the dream according to Arlan Andrews, and this isn’t there yet, but it most certainly did “take off and land vertically, the way God and Robert Heinlein intended.” Also Arlan Andrews. This is so far up the technological ladder compared to where we were even ten years ago that it isn’t even funny. This was science fiction twenty years ago. This is the future now. This is the Moon. This is Mars. This is us becoming an interplanetary civilization in my lifetime. This is our species escaping the single billiard ball of doom. This is huge.
