Welp! It’s been another not great week for the GOP as Kamala Harris’ campaign continues to rev up while Trump and his fellow fascists are crying about being called weird. White Dudes for Harris was a huge success and, seriously, what’s up with JD Vance and that couch?
But it’s not all good news and I’ll get into that in the Ogre Opinion about Sinclair Broadcasting.
Housekeeping Notes: This weekend is Otakon, a truly massive anime convention, one of the largest on the East Coast and I will be spending part of Thursday and all of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday geeking out with my girls. It’s amazing fun but exhausting and we’re still doing a bunch of family stuff next week, too, so light posting and a mini-pod on Wednesday. I’ll have a new poll up for the next main story next week.
Lots to get to today, though, so let’s get to it!
