Project Hail Mary. Great sci-fi story and the narrator really does an outstanding job. No sex that I can recall. Maybe an occasional mild curse word? If so it wasn't overkill.

Good for you. It may not mean anything for national elections but it could make a difference in a local one

AZ law states that the governor appoints a replacement senator, and there is a democratic governor right now

It's 100% about beating Trump in swing states. Whoever Harris can get more votes from in those states is who I'd want her to pick. I would love a more progressive pick personally, but that's not likely to win the swing states.

I'd pick Kelly over Shapiro, though admittedly I'm way more familiar with Kelly than Shapiro. Having two former AGs on the ticket seems redundant. America loves astronauts and Kelly has personal experience with the issue of gun violence. Any sympathy Trump tries to get with his assassination attempt can be immediately countered. "Oh, your ear was grazed? My wife was literally shot in the head and had to relearn basic tasks. But do go on..."

Don't just vote, bring a friend!

The truth is that Trump has done more for conservative causes than any president prior. He installed the far right justices that have toppled Roe v Wade and affirmative action. He enacted things like the Muslim travel bans. In short, either they know he's a scumbag and don't care because he gets results, or they don't believe their own lyin' eyes because look at the results he produces. It's all about the bottom line, and the ends justify the means.
