Trump has lower approval ratings than Biden did in November 2024. Expected Electoral Votes (minus DC): Biden 2024 (Harris won 226 EVs in 2024, 57% of Neithers) Approval: 201 Disapproval: 290 Neither: 44 "Trump 2028" (211 EVs in 2028 with 57% of Neithers) Approval: 192 Disapproval: 311 Neither: 32

So who in the Republican Party has a higher approval rating than Trump? JD Vance (-9.5% vs. Trump's -18.0%), but Republicans would *still* lose Florida (Trump -8; Vance -2)--and the election by 292 electoral votes. But what if Vance won 57% of the Neithers? They would win Florida by 1%.

If Vance ran in 2028 and won 57% of all the current Neither voters (Harris' rate in 2024), the Republicans would lose Vance's home state, Ohio, Texas, PA, MI, WI, GA, NV, NC, AZ, Iowa, and Alaska. They would win Florida though. And Vance is *leading* the GOP primary race right now.

[Departures + Stay Overs] (data taken post night-audit) is the Breakfast Business Forecast Sum Total formula (B.F.S.T.). It is the best measure for anticipating morning business. I sold my Bluesky account to a Wyndham Rewards revenue management training firm.

Spain: gold (sailed to the edge of the world for it) Argentina: silver (it's in the name) England: bronze (all Roman bronze was created using copper from southwestern Britain)

just came across a vulture picking at a carcass on a dead end street near the lake at the nature sanctuary. anyway, on with my day! man it’s hot this holy Sinday I mean Sunday.

Every single pair of tied teams has either: - played and tied each other, or - have not played each other This seems weird. The new tiebreaker (head-to-head result) has no use after the second round of the group stage. Is this true in all cases?

Match ended in a draw (tiebreaker, score): CZE>RSA (GD, 1-1) BRA>MOR (GD, 1-1) ECU>CUW (GD, 0-0) ENG>GHA (GD, 0-0) NED>JPN (GF, 2-2) URU>CPV (GF, 2-2) Have not played (tiebreaker): CAN>SUI (GD) BIH>QAT (GD) AUS>PAR (GD) FRA>NOR (GD) AUT>ALG (GD) IRI>BEL (GF)

Even if you cap the goal differential of every game at 2, the same 24 teams are tied and the tiebreaker resolves every tie in the same way. Is this strange? I don't know.

24 teams are tied 24 teams are not tied of those 12 pairs of tied teams: - 9 ties are broken by goal differential - 3 ties are broken by goals scored

Mamdani needs to take over the NY state Dem party to prevent candidates like Schumer from nomination.

Thousands Of New Yorkers Just Attended A Nazi Parade For Israel, And Other Notes This is just what supporting Israel looks like: standing shoulder to shoulder with genocidal extremists and making common cause with them. That’s what Israel is. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/thousands-...

The latest math problem I need to solve is similar to this question: What age requirements should the dems create for the Supreme Court given these ages and political alignments: thomas 77 alito 76 *sotomayor 71 roberts 71 *kagan 66 kavanaugh 61 gorsuch 58 *brown jackson 55 coney barrett 52

The only majority the Dems could create would be to make the SCOTUS age range (at minimum) 62 to (at maximum) 75, (2-1, "Kagan & Sotomayor vs. Roberts"). It's a similar question to, "given all goals scored and allowed by Sporting KC this year, what could be their best and worst possible records?"

What's the first step? Finding a majority and attempting to expand it, finding a larger majority, like with the SCOTUS ages? Comparing the number of total goals to "goal streaks" to find a minimum number of "wins?" I don't even know what to call this type of calculation/process.

did the CIA do 9/11 so that it would be the 25th anniversary during the 250th anniversary of the foundation of the US?

Any random abuse connects its child victim to the highest rung of capitalist leaders. The center of the US/Epstein/Trump conspiracy maze of torture and the destruction of entire countries is an abused child. Break the ladder, erase the concentric rings, and it will fall apart.

Andrew Paul Johnson was arraigned in a Florida court in October on multiple charges, including molesting a child as young as 11 years old. Johnson dangled the prospect that one of the children could receive money bc...he was entitled to $10 million as part of reparations for his January 6 arrest.

A few basketball rules of thumb: 2*FGM+AST = PTS 3PM+FTM = AST = (PTS-FGM)/2 AST-FTM = 3PM 3PM-AST = FTM These are more predictable than the 2*H=R rule in baseball, especially the PTS (2*FGM+AST) rule.

the original linkedin smarm-posters were guys who ran around telling people they were late and pointing at their watch. late men. you’re right but you’re extremely annoying. i spiritually disagree.

the late men are rich as well. the problem isn’t “time exists, but i have my own time,” it is that i know i am late, and thanks for warning me, but you are so shallow and personally unpleasant that it makes me think i’ll be fine even if i am late.

One reason that we cannot have professional diplomats representing the interests of the United States is that it would disrupt a pattern of personal enrichment for the Presidents allies and families.

It is being reported on the ground in Cuba that everyone on a ventilator at this hospital died overnight. As a Cuban, I'm devastated.

Arturo Dominguez@extremearturo.bsky.social

This is what I was hoping to see from influencers and independent journalists who traveled to Cuba. The impacts of U.S. actions aren't getting the attention they deserve in mainstream media. My people are being ignored in the U.S. news.

Nevermind. I actually want to know the formula for these numbers, which correlate to sums within each string. Evaluate the string and color-code each number so that every majority (read left to right) and minority (read right to left) is different.

Max@maxapts.bsky.social

Please someone create a formula for this function. 3: 21 4: 211 5: 212 6: 2112 7: 21121 8: 21221 9: 212211 10: 2112211 11: 2112212 12: 21121212 13: 211212112 14: 212212112 15: 2122121121 16: 21221121121 32: 212211212212122121121

I have been using this color code probably since around 2016 (looking at election results). I didn't realize until now that it kind of follows a nighttime-to-daytime color scheme. Majority = cold/night/sleep; minority = hot/day/awake.

The question seems easy 20: majorities: 11, 6, 4, 3, 2 minorities: 9, 4, 1 But you don’t just subtract the values to get the string (112553) because the correct string is 11113321.

In the number 16, the majority is 9, and the majority of 9 is 5, then 3, then 2. Same for the minority (7, then 3, then 1). Then count the number of each color. majority(majority) = darker gray majority = gray minority = yellow minority(minority) = orange minority(minority(minority)) = light blue

When I was a kid, the other kids would ask me to draw pictures for them ("Draw Batman"). Now I am asking you all to do that same thing for me, but for math. The winner will receive The Bluesky Prize (one congratulatory "like").

Watching "The Iron Triangle" on Tubi right now, which is a 1989 war movie. The writing is so much better and the subject matter is so much more bold than anything on HBO or AppleTV nowadays. It's "Les Mis" but playing out on both sides of the Resistance War Against America in Vietnam.
