My great aunt Carmella passed away this week. She was 92, and it isn't a big shock but she was kind and wonderful and will be missed. Of course no one on my father's side of the family thought to inform me. Mom called after she read it in the paper. She was an Italian who married into the Irish side of my family and I loved going to her house as a kid not just because she was so warm and welcoming but because I knew there would be food I would like.
I didn't create the troll. I didn't date the troll. In fact I hate the troll. I helped deflate the troll-- All done.

I'm sorry, sj.
I did not watch the debate. I occasionally checked out KB Spangler's twitter feed, as she does good recaps of that kinda thing. Her thread starts here: [link]

Is there a reliable source of how much time each candidate spent speaking? I was googling earlier but couldn't find it.

I'm pretty sure Pence spoke over her or the moderator more than Harris did.

I'm sorry for your loss, sj. Wonderful aunts are treasures.
I didn't watch the debate; I've voted, and I just can't make myself do it. Maybe if I had a valium scrip or something, but I don't.

I feel a little bad for Susan the Moderator but I also feel like having someone from USA Today moderate is weird? Do I have an unfair opinion of USA Today's seriousness?

I'm so sorry, sj. My grandmother shared your great aunt's name. She would have been 91 today.

ION: Panel went well, but without captioning. The person who was supposed to it had a computer malfunction and wasn't able to caption. I am now wondering if I should pay him something for a job he didn't do.
