a big runoff last night, in New Orleans:
Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet.
So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

last night at a bar I learned that they improved pinball by making machines that are entirely computers and they’re much better than what we had before

This race had a "Dewey defeats Truman" moment when Election Desk HQ prematurely called the race for Mayor Bruce Harrell. One Reddit user made a parody.
That proved incorrect as Wilson closed an eight-point gap from earlier results.

One of the first stories I ever wrote for money was for a trade magazine called Dermatology Business Management. It was a feature on FSA/HSA back when they were new. Every public health person I talked to was like "bad idea, also badly designed." That was like 20 years ago.
"A development that appeared to break the logjam: Republicans proposed that healthcare funding be provided directly to households rather than used to pay for a 1-year extension of ACA subsidies. That involves sending federal money into FSAs instead of insurance companies" www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
Republicans Pitch Alternative to ACA Extension to End Government Shutdown
A proposal by GOP senators to send money directly to consumers’ health accounts rather than to insurance companies showed signs of breaking a stalemate on negotiations.
