When you hear criticism of how long Maricopa County takes to count ballots, remember this isn't new and it's caused by state law, not county policies. Here's how many days it took in past elections:

2006: 12
2008: 17
2010: 15
2012: 14
2014: 8
2016: 10
2018: 14
2020: 10

He’s wrong about green bean casserole, though. I will not be entertaining other viewpoints on this matter.

Are you putting raisins in your stuffing? Wearing a tie to dinner? Stop that right now and familiarize yourself with columnist @RexHuppke's Thanksgiving rules. You & your family will have a better holiday, trust us. (You can thank him later.) https://t.co/KCFqKRUMpQ

It's the year of the strike in LA.

Actors to hit the picket line just as Hollywood writers, grad students, hotel workers, nurses, cafeteria workers, school janitors and teachers have before them. https://t.co/4z2BPPU5om

You know how the water is all running out in the American West and there's no practical way to fix it whatsoever? (It is and there isn't. Don't argue with me, I know what I'm talking about.) Well, there's a problem nobody else seems to have considered on top of the obvious.

ProPublica emailed some questions for a story to Sam Alito and instead of answering the questions or just ignoring the email, he ran to his little gremlin friends at the WSJ Opinion section and wrote a blog post about it https://t.co/Jti0xZz9Tk

For weeks, Rhode Island media has referred to “the Philadelphia trip,” a mysterious expedition during which terrible things happened.

Now they’ve launched two separate investigations — including a criminal one.

Remember that time someone stole a prototype iPhone 4 from an Apple employee sitting at a bar? And the full raging ire of Steve Jobs came crashing down?

A terrific retelling of the story, from @sfgate:

The year is 2023 and people are still out here adding two spaces after a period. WHY.

[USA TODAY Opinion @usatodayopinion]

"Maybe it’s time to admit the reason this daily carnage is happening in our schools and in virtually every imaginable space in America is because we treat guns with more reverence than we treat our fellow human’s right to keep living," writes @RexHuppke. https://t.co/J81CuluEuq

The US is seeing an unprecedented wave of migrant child labor right now.

Thousands of kids are working overnight in dangerous factories for brands like Cheerios, Fruit of the Loom and Ford. They're here alone and they're being failed in the most basic way.https://t.co/5IlCNTjGdh

I wrote about the unhinged therapists making videos about their clients on TikTok, and how social media has smoothed over the ethical issues of certain professions turning their jobs into content https://t.co/u6kflar9NN

It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s me.

Sources: The Arizona Cardinals fired head coach Kliff Kingsbury, who 10 months ago signed a contract extension through the 2027 season.

The Cardinals still never have had a head coach - any head coach - last longer than six years while the team has existed for over 100 years.

Damar Hamlin asked doctors, “Did we win?”

They told him, “Yes, you won the game of life.”
