And the record falls:
Subtropical Storm #Theta has developed tonight in the Northeast Atlantic, the 29th named storm of the 2020 Atlantic Hurricane Season.
This breaks the single season record for the most named storms previously held by the 2005 Hurricane Season.

Somehow it seems like trapping a skunk in a humane trap might lead to... undesired olfactory side-effects?

What species of lawyer are you expecting a raccoon to get... and what would its arrival do to the overall noise level?
(I mean, just imagine if the lawyer is a dog!)

nitter.vloup.ch/apoorva_nyc/stat… seems to say otherwise, at least for younger children.

Just imagine if we had an election that came down to the Philadelphia suburbs in Pennsylvania, the D.C. suburbs in Maryland, the Houston suburbs, Dayton Ohio, and Montgomery Alabama. Then the rest of the world would have to keep track of which Montgomery County is which.

This page has been really useful the past few days for tracking which news organizations have called which states.
It does require reloading in the browser, though, since it doesn't auto-update.
We're tracking race calls from news orgs here nytimes.com/interactive/2020…

If you want a nice beach, though, I'm told you go to Delaware or Maryland.
(I never went to beaches from home growing up, though, so I don't really know first hand.)
And, yes, states are smaller. Serving across Delaware or New Jersey to get elsewhere was normal.
I just rechecked 2008 with the data from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_U… and got that it was an Iowa/Colorado tie.
@geoffreyvs btw, when I worked out tipping point states (dbaron.org/presidential-elec…) I got Iowa for 2008 and Colorado for 2012.

Compare to 2000 (the one time I was a Chester County voter in a presidential election)... when Bush beat Gore by 9.6% in Chester County.
A month from now, when we have all the final vote numbers... I wonder what the tipping point state in this election will have been, and whether it agrees with what the pundits and forecasters thought it would be.

This is a plausible path to a @JoeBiden victory without either Pennsylvania or Georgia (both of which he still seems to have a decent chance at). Map via @270toWin 270towin.com/maps/1pyb7 #2020election

Democratic legislators in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin begged Republicans to let election officials start processing and counting mail ballots well before Election Day. Republicans refused, which is why we will not know the winner of the presidential election tonight.
