CHRISTIAN TOTO: Will a Biden Victory Crush Late Night TV?
WARGAMING THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE: Can BIDEN Thread the Needle to 270? (Yes, Biden).
This was a fun one to put together, with tons of Electoral College maps for your to enjoy and/or argue about.
#FIGHTFORFIFTEEN: White Castle employees, meet Flippy the Robot. “After allowing Flippy to stage at one of its restaurants, White Castle has announced plans to adopt some of Flippy’s siblings from their creator, Miso Robotics. The restaurant chain will be deploying them in 2021 at ten additional locations to steal jobs the hearts of customers.”
SPACE: SpaceX begins public beta testing of Starlink constellation at $99 a month. “The email is brief, first detailing what beta users can expect from the initial Starlink system. ‘Expect to see data speeds vary from 50Mb/s to 150Mb/s and latency from 20ms to 40ms over the next several months as we enhance the Starlink system,’ the email reads. ‘There will also be brief periods of no connectivity at all.’ SpaceX claims in the email that latency and data speeds will improve as the company launches more satellites and installs more ground stations to receive signals from the satellites. The company also notes it will continue to update its networking software and expects latency to decrease to between 16ms and 19ms by 2021.”

VODKAPUNDIT PRESENTS YOUR DAILY INSANITY WRAP: This Bud’s for You, Racist.
Insanity Wrap needs to know: When did beer become racist?
Answer: When it became profitable for an otherwise-useless white “scholar” to peddle a book claiming it is.
Before we get to the sordid details, a quick preview of today’s Wrap.
- Joe Biden’s worst speech ever.
- Hunter Biden’s most damning recording ever — and there’s no sex.
- The perfect garnish for your Bloody Mary: Revealed!
And so much more at the link, you’d have to be crazy to miss it.
AL PERROTTA: The Landslide America Will Be Glad to Have.
Oh, I could point to little signs. Like Trump building a lead in Florida. Or even The New York Times reporting that Trump is polling about 10 points better in Philadelphia than he did in 2016, which would all but guarantee him a win in Pennsylvania. Or his stunning rise among Blacks and Latinos.
I could point to more Trump supporters showing up at Biden rallies than Biden supporters, or wild Trump car rallies in places where having a GOP sticker on your car used to guarantee your car getting keyed. I could point to the enthusiasm gap, which is massive.
Or Kamala Harris blowing her big audition, voters understanding she is the real candidate in this election, and going, “No, thank you!” Or the common sense observation that few people will stand for line in hours just to vote against Trump.
I could point to the fact that Donald Trump is actually out there working to earn votes while Biden is, well, barely trying.
Or that Biden thinks he’s running for Senate and running against George Bush … or George Lopez … or George Jetson. George someone.
I could point to that, but no, I am talking about a sense. A feeling in my bones that a spirit of division and rancor is being broken. That something’s changed in recent weeks. Almost overnight.
Read the whole thing, which is about much more than just a single election.

XI’S GOTTA HAVE IT: China’s Next ‘5-Year Plan’ Likely to Increase Animosity Between Washington and Beijing. “China’s problem, which often turns into a problem for Washington, is Beijing’s consistent double-standards. China wants to be taken seriously on the world stage as a major power, yet expects to be treated in environmental and trade terms as a ‘developing country,’ subject to far more lax standards and requirements.”
KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Philly Riot Thugs Make Final Push for Trump’s Reelection. “This is the choice we face as a country going forward. Do we want the party that has a very casual relationship with violent mobs to be in charge of everything or would we prefer some adults in the room? The Democrats have been so supportive of the violence since May that there is no reason to believe it will end even if they win everything next week. Rioting has become their modus operandi now.”
HACKERS HAD TO GO TO SUCH EXTRAORDINARY MEASURES BECAUSE THE PRESS WOULD NEVER RUN WITH A STORY LIKE THAT: Trump’s campaign website is briefly ‘seized’ by Bitcoin hackers who claim to have evidence that ‘proves his criminal involvement with foreign actors to manipulate the election.’
HMM: Mark Zuckerberg calls for changes to Section 230.
For years, Facebook has been one of the primary defenders of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, arguing that its erosion would curtail free expression online and make it harder for the social media giant to police misinformation, hate speech, calls to violence and more.
But now, Mark Zuckerberg says he thinks it’s time to change the law. “I believe Congress should update the law to make sure it’s working as intended,” Zuckerberg will say at a Senate hearing on Wednesday, according to prepared testimony obtained by Protocol on Tuesday. “We support the ideas around transparency and industry collaboration that are being discussed in some of the current bipartisan proposals, and I look forward to a meaningful dialogue about how we might update the law to deal with the problems we face today.”
Easy call: Whatever regulation Zuckerberg proposes or gets behind will have a “pull up the ladder behind him” effect against smaller competitors.
AGAIN: The Hunter Biden Scandal Has Exposed The Corporate Press’s Corruption And Condescension. “The idea is to disparage the source of the information rather than grapple with what the information reveals. This of course has been the media’s posture toward the Post’s reporting from the outset: pay no mind to the laptop or the emails, uniformly referred to as ‘documents of questionable provenance,’ because it all came from Rudy Giuliani and Steve Bannon, and they aren’t trustworthy. Real journalists, you see, only investigate and report on information that’s verified and trustworthy — you know, like the Steele dossier.”
Read the whole, damning thing.
