A STUFFY JUDGE: I’m afraid that the law states that a person must be 35, but it has no age requirement for a dog

I love this sooo much!!

Thank you for the dose of sanity. No, really. The insanity of the last couple days needs this kind of sober assessment. I will probably read it multiple times over the next few hours/days just to land the nosedive my brain has been in for weeks. Thanks Olaf!!

New favorite ACB election analysis, replacing the March 2018 tweet about the PA Special US House election (which I could not find in 20 agonizing seconds search on THEEVERYTHINGAPP but actually have a screenshot of on my phone; I guess I could ImgBB it or whatever the kids are using these days to post a link)

Yes! He knocks it out of the air and then immediately pulls back and waits for my son to re-launch it. He doesn't just understand that it's a game; it's a game he invented.

Had a real turnaround last night, sat down thinking "I can't possibly publish a newsletter on Election Day", and then realizing "THE ONLY WAY OUT IS THROUGH"

This analysis is far better than anything that has been churned out by 538 over the past month and a half

I for one enjoyed the retro 90's style marker scribbles in a few of the images. (IKWYDT)

Olaf's markings and floofy fur remind me so much of my old girl Boo. Dunno that she ever got that airborne in her youth, but dang if it don't look like you all have a ton of fun!

If this analytical process breaks as big for you as Nate Silver's innovations did in 2008, please remember your early fans and try not to develop a crippling gambling problem.

Regretting my choice to vote early, as I now know I should have voted Olaf 2024. I'm with Chaos.
