REM 1986 Gen X earworm, for all the first-time voters and other hopeful young Americans who cast their vote in this week’s midterms.

JACKSON CHOURIO TIES A 98-YEAR-OLD RECORD 😳
Chourio's 10th hit this #WorldSeries ties Babe Ruth (1928) for most through the first four games of a Fall Classic!
ALT Left, Babe Ruth wears a New York Yankees uniform. Right, Jackson Chourio wears a white Milwaukee Brewers uniform.
Ten years ago my @Cubs won the World Series that I’d wanted since childhood.
I’m so happy for this year’s Brewers and their long-suffering fans. They deserve this so much. One more win! Go Brewers! – at Saint-Barthélemy, France
Putting their Monet where their mouth is. Milwaukee’s art museum is great. Go for the Georgia O’Keeffes, Caillebotte’s large Périssoires (acquired in 1965 when America was rediscovering Caillebotte), and the soaring Calatrava architecture. Go Brewers!

Mark Carney on Elon Musk throttling Starlink: "I search for the right adjective to describe whoever took this decision or group of people took this decision against a country that is literally fighting for the lives of the citizens against naked aggression."
Phenomenal ad.
“Hope built this place, and hope still lives here.”
Not you versus me, but you and me together against the problem.
