For those of you pondering whether to go to see the new film of Ulysses, or not, I have a better suggestion for you:
Why not read Natalie Haynes 100 Ships that re-tells the Trojan War & its surrounding myths from the perspective of the women involved (both gods & mortals).... and let's just say Ulysses doesn't come out of it that well.
Trump's wishlist for election security "improvements" is a mix of actually good nonpartisan measures advocated for by experts (prioritizing the use of hand marked paper ballots) and nakedly partisan restrictions on voting (cumbersome citizenship verification, restrictions on mail-in voting, etc), plus some crazy stuff that's not particularly partisan, but not helpful, either.
@mattblaze @bmacDonald94 Is there a link to that fool’s obituary yet?
Trump is giving a speech tonight, almost certainly about elections, which I'm basically obligated to watch despite my certainty that it will be confusing, infuriating, and factually misleading.
so just to recap... don't eat the food, don't breathe the air, don't leave your home

Starship 13 Scrubbed...
Seems like the NSF guys (above) are thinking that at least 4 of the Raptor engines didn't light and that triggered a shutdown and scrub. Will post more if/when it becomes available.
Edit: Apparently Musk now confirms this.

I spoke with a bunch of different reporters over the last couple days ahead of Trump's election speech tonight and each one of them was under the impression that it wold be used to launch a different policy initiative.
We'll know what he says when he says it.
@mattblaze The big question is whether he’ll know what he says when he says it.
