> [@Riemann](#): > > The photo is odd, though. The blue “Save America” podium looks like it has been crudely photoshopped in. Is it just a trick of the light? It is a combination of high color contrast and weird focus. Look at Trump’s tie for example; it’s a solid red stripe. I did a reverse image search and found another angle of that podium.

And it didn’t even work. The yokels in rural IL were not going to vote for a black person no matter what he said. He got spanked in the primary and alienated a large portion of his current constituency. When his reelection for mayor comes up, he is going to have trouble holding on to his position after selling his soul to the Rs. ---

I don’t think so. First, look at the vote totals. Way more Democratic voters in a primary where, honestly, there were not a ton of impactful races. Plus, the Supreme Court basically handed Pritzer the reelection. He started hard on maintaining abortion rights right after the ruling. The electorate of IL is strongly pro-choice. That alone, plus his support of PRIDE and his solid leadership during the pandemic is going to make this a landslide. As an aside - I read that this Governor’s race is the most expensive non-Presidential race in US history. ---

> [@Atamasama](#): > > People get into trouble all the time up here in Washington State being unprepared in the mountains. Same anywhere really. I used to be a member of Colorado Ground Search and Rescue. I get people coming down from the top of the pass and walking through my yard or down the road. Not a lot, but enough. Tired and lost. Snowboarders are the worst. “Just exactly how did you expect to get back up?” I drive them back to the top of the pass where they left their vehicle. Once. ---

> [@Atamasama](#): > > People get into trouble all the time up here in Washington State being unprepared in the mountains. The effects of unprepared idiocy are even more pronounced in extreme heat. I spend a lot of time in the Grand Canyon, and it’s astonishing the people you see coming down the corridor trails. People who clearly have not left their couch in decades, elderly people so frail that you might stop to help them cross the street, people who are morbidly obese - making admirable efforts to become more active, but just completely clueless about the difficulty of what they are attempting. ---
