Wuhan whoo hoo!

Coco Gauff in straight sets over Jessica Pegula. 6-4, 7-5.

When Jess got rolling in the 2nd set, thought we’d get a 3rd for sure. Nope. 🎾 #tennis #WihanOpen

Trump's dementia is so bad that he does not remember that he was President on January 6, 2021 and watched the insurrectionists he invited to violence. President Trump watched his Proud Boys, Oathkeepers that he arranged to attack the Capitol Building to keep Congress from certifying electoral votes

Republicans think that ordinary Americans like you and me should have to pay exorbitant premiums to prevent unnecessary and often agonizing diseases and death. That's going to get them a whole lot of votes next year, if their voters are still alive.

We have to stop using the word Antifa, use the word anti-fascist. The right will have an impossible time trying to discredit anyone who is anti-fascist.

So if Mikey Moses Johnson is against No Kings, that must mean he is Pro king. If he's against Anti Fascism, that must mean is ha Pro fascism. We already know he's Pro pedophilia.

We saw the momentum shift coming at the end of the first set.

But Gauff is helping Pegula get there quicker with these double faults taking hold.

Estonia has closed the Saatse border crossing with Russia due to an unusually large Russian military presence on the other side. The Estonian Police and Border Guard (PPA) noted increased patrols and military movements that were much higher than normal, which were deemed beyond routine activities.

Arthur Rinderknech said some beautiful words after his loss to his cousin Valentin Vacherot in the Shanghai final:

"Thank you to my wife, she's amazing. Thank you to your parents [Vacherot's], thanks to my parents.. because we're here because of them. Thank you to all my family." 🥹

I think that what we can infer is that insider trading is rampant, there is an expectation that if you are onside with the administration you will not be prosecuted for it, and there is a belief this admin will not be leaving, so YOLO.

Probably worth asking why, if politics is basically a popularity contest, one of the two main parties is able to govern on quite openly saying “fuck you, eat shit, you have to vote for us, or else”. Seems weird, like something might have gone quite badly wrong.
