@PatPrimeauQc Intéressant! Ayant consulté la publication, ce qui me frappe, ce n'est pas tant le discours (qu'on retrouve dans diverses publications francophones de l'époque), mais bien les caricatures de personnages irlandais tirées tout droit du corpus de Thomas Nast. Wow.

Drawn by the critical mass of researchers that I once followed here, I am in the process of emigrating to Bluesky, where you can now find me and my very mild takes. But yes, I intend to pop back in from time to time to fuel violent Nascar-related flame wars.

@dabfordale Or, to put it differently, Larson had more wins despite running fewer races.

[Patrick Lacroix @querythepast]

@DavidVermette I did too. Very different, in terms of framing, from what I expected (e.g. beginning and ending in Detroit), but in a good way.

A second post in four days? Truly a golden age of blogging.

@PatPrimeauQc I'm glad - much appreciated!

@NASCAR @joeylogano A golden age of mediocrity!

My target audience is now probably entirely on #Bluesky, but what the heck. If you're still processing last week's #election results, the piece below might prove helpful. If you're part of the 71 million, feel free to share how you are coming to terms with the moment.

New on QTP:

This is the most subdued, most optimistic, and least disparaging take I can offer at the moment. #Election2024

If you are part of the 71 million, I'd be pleased to hear/read how you are approaching this regrettably historic moment.

[Opinions on NASCAR (William Richard) @nascar_opinion]

Joey Logano finished 21st or worst in 15 races this year. That's 41.6% of the schedule.

Glad this format makes you bring your A-game every week, per Elton Sawyer.

Joke.

[Patrick Lacroix @querythepast]

@nascar_opinion @NASCAR Probably right. I remember reading that if the points format hadn't changed, he would have gotten to 7 championships. More wins than Dale Sr. and a far more competitive field than Richard Petty ever faced.

@SidKhurana3607 The region has gradually aligned with other rural, working-class areas around the country as long-time Democratic legislators have termed off. Austin Theriault's run for Congress may account for the significant R shift in Fort Kent (where he grew up).

[Patrick Lacroix @querythepast]

The best take I've seen this morning. That's pretty much where I am.

This is more disheartening than 2016

Then, you could argue that voters didn't know what they were getting, and that the majority of people STILL voted against Trump.

This time? They did it willingly

@PrezWisdom William Miller: not-so-famously the third Catholic to appear on a major party ticket.
