That's some weird business. According to the Press Herald's site, that red dot is ... North Yarmouth? I don't believe those results for a second. Something weird is going on there.

Not exactly a flood of people at the Gray polls, but a couple other folks at 6p. Doesn't seem like a heavy turnout.

Top three "suggested reels" for me when I made the mistake of going on Facebook, where I have to go for various volunteer and work-based reasons. Meta is an absolute societal menace. Just poison.

I keep getting served this ad on just about every platform and all I know is that if I see someone in glasses like that coming at me I am going some other direction.

I think at least a little bit funny that not only did "Janet" text me from a weird 833 area code, but she also addressed me as Jill, which means they bought really bad lists (I'm assuming this was scraped from my time working with Jill Stein...).

This is the sort of thing governors and other big-time leaders used to step in and help fix. It's a huge problem affecting thousands of Mainers. Where is leadership?

I really feel like it should be "anti-child-abuse crusader," to make it clear that all three modifiers are modifying the noun. The way they have it, "anti-child" seems to modify "abuse," which is modifying "crusader." I don't think he was an anti-child crusader for more abuse, personally.
