#Georgia #gapol needs #IRV #RankedChoiceVoting #instantrunoffvoting. District 165 in Chatham County #Savannah has an upcoming special election because its representative passed away. #gapol sos.ga.gov/index.php/elec…
Several candidates have qualified to be on the ballot for the election November 2, 2021. Voters will be forced to vote for 1, trying to guess on the outcome to make sure that they don't cast their votes for a candidate who won't win. #gapol
They will wonder if their votes for their preferred candidate will make it more likely that the candidate they dislike the most will win. The candidates will run their campaigns to disparage the other candidates, not seeking to be the 2nd & 3rd choices of voters. #gapol

Was watching #CLEvsKC #KCvsCLE & realized that there's more accountability in sports broadcasting for athletes who make mistakes than for politicians who led #USA into criminal, brutal wars in #Afghanistan #Iraq & elsewhere.
The @Browns punter mishandled a snap, & @Chiefs got ball deep in Cleveland territory & scored a touchdown. Immediately, broadcast feed focused on the punter, I assume so that angry Browns fans could see if he felt sufficient shame that his mistake cost his team dearly.
Meanwhile, as people in #USA go without because the government doesn't have enough money to meet their basic needs, as its military murders people in Somalia, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, etc, the media completely neglect the politicians, generals & pundits who

I'm as big a hater as the next hater, but even I want @DjokerNole to win @usopen #tennis championship & complete the calendar grand slam.
#1, no man has accomplished this for more than 5 decades. Rooting against Novak at this point is like rooting against the next interplanetary rover just because you don't like the nation which launched it. This is an amazing, inspirational feat. Let's hope Djokovic can do it.
#2, yes, Novak isn't as polished & smooth as Federer & Nadal. But 99% of humanity aren't as smooth as those two. I love @RafaelNadal's honesty, openness & humility. I love @rogerfederer's grace on the court & ease navigating the press & corporate sponsorships & everyday life.

Just watched @BreakingBad for 2nd time. In no particular order, some things I don't understand.

Spoilers ahead
Why does Walter tell Lydia that he poisoned her with ricin? Couldn't she then get treatment?

Is ricin poisoning untreatable?

Or would Lydia rather die than face scrutiny of an investigation into her attempted murder?
After killing Fring, how did Walter kill the guard at the laundromat to get back in lab? Dennis wasn't running a tight ship!

I am concerned that @DaniilMedwed & @steftsitsipas will wear themselves out in @AustralianOpen semifinal & @DjokerNole will steamroll whoever reaches the final. I have suggestions:
Flip a coin to determine finalist
Have Novak play against Stefan & Daniil at same time. Two on one!
