Blue_true's JournalNumbering of DU posts.
I often see what I view as an enormously irritating practice by posters. Instead of giving some context in their posts, they simply give post numbers for other posts. I find that massively irritating. On my DU page, posts are not numbered BEFORE I open a post, I see a number after it is opened. To make matters worse, there doesn’t seem to be a consistent succession to the numbering, based upon seeing one post number, I guess where a post that some person pointed to may be, only to go to that post and find a totally different number.
Do I have my DU account set up so that I don’t see post numbers when looking at all posts in a thread? If not, can people please give context in a reply and stop simply pointing to other posts?
Alaska Elections
A DU member and I had a discussion about Alaska elections where a sore loser law was mentioned, after a Republican announced a challenge to Lisa Murkowski.
The sore loser law may be irrelevant. Alaska has implemented a Jungle Primary for 2022, with rank choice voting. In theory, Murkowski could get weak republican support, but be the only second choice of Democrats and as a result, make her way to a top two General with the Democrat.
My guess is Democrats will try to eliminate Murkowski in the primary, but not in a way that brings a republican Trumper into the General. Democrats would want a weak candidate facing the Democrat.
The Trumper republican that announced a run against Murkowski sounds like a real piece of far rightwing work, so Democrats there need to strategize strongly against inadvertently helping her. I believe that a second republican announced a run also, so if Democrats bring in a single candidate that is strong, that person makes it to the General in a walk - hopefully he or she won’t have hidden skeletons in a personal closet that will play in a General.
Elgin Baylor has passed away at 86 years old.
One of the greatest to ever play the game. He still holds the record for the most points scored in an NBA Finals game, 61 points against the Boston Celtics, and he was double-teamed.
I got to see him play near the end of his career. I actually rooted against his team (I was a Knicks fan), I always held my breath every time he got the ball on offense.
