I don't have a strong attachment to the Electoral College.

'Like a phoenix rising from the ashes'
This is what I watched last night. After I went to bed I checked my phone and they just announced Pennsylvania.

Census Errors Will Distort Elections, Funding for Next Decade
The U.S. Census Bureau recently admitted that it overcounted the populations of eight states and undercounted the populations of six states in the 2020 census.
Those costly errors will distort congressional representation and the Electoral College.
Congress needs to use its oversight authority to investigate and determine why these errors happened, particularly since they didn't occur in the 2010 census.

I question how accurate this is. The U.S. could have investigated hypothetical scenarios that it never intended to implement.
The video portrays Edward Teller in a bad light.

History Brought to Life with Ai Magic Vol.1

First of all, it is astonishing what can be accomplished with AI.
At three minutes we see the future queen of England. She earned my respect by being a truck driver and auto mechanic during World War II.
How Harris or Trump could win 270 electoral votes

It is hard to construct an outcome where Nevada with its mere 6 electoral college votes matters. It takes a weird scenario where Trump loses North Carolina but wins Pennsylvania and Nevada.
Worth Repeating
The video is a bit long. The bottom line is that a man wanted to live off the grid, hiked completely unprepared into the middle of nowhere in Alaska, found himself unable to get back to civilization due to the summer thaw, and starved to death.
I am also reminded of the foreign tourist family who drove their rental car out into the American desert, despite warnings from the rental car company not to do something like this and perished after the car became stuck.
Richard Roeper commented on things like this, saying that wild animals need to stay in a controlled environment away from us and that people need to stop being stupid.
People are very fragile. Many people will meet a bad end one way or another because they don't realize this.

Time Is Now for Cigarette Tax Increase - Indiana Chamber of Commerce
https://www.indianachamber.com/time-is-now-for-cigarette-tax-increase/#:~:text=The%20Indiana%20Chamber%20believes%20the,programming%20are%20expected%20to%20pass.
I keep hearing a proposal to raise cigarette taxes by $2 per pack on the radio. I think this proposed tax will impact people with lower incomes the most so I am opposed to it.
The proposal claims to protect people's health. People should be free to make choices as long as this is not a major burden on the rest of society.
If you tax something too much then it could create a black market for the product.

Teri Garr, 'Young Frankenstein' actress, dead at 79
Besides the movie Young Frankenstein, Teri Garr had a memorable appearance on the original Star Trek.
When Star Trek celebrated its 25th Anniversary in 1991, she was interviewed. She joked that they should look her up on the 50th anniversary and that they could find her at the Old Folks Home. I remembered this, so I looked her up 25 years later. She was in good health and doing well.
