We know Biden's choice isn't Karen Bass, who is just a little too flaky for any national office:
CBC Chairwoman Karen Bass is out, per @jeffzeleny, @DanaBashCNN @merica. The Biden campaign has informed some of the women the former Vice President’s team vetted about his choice of running mate.— Manu Raju (@mkraju) August 11, 2020
Karen Bass was told by Biden himself that she was not the pick

Another tragic case of a woman, just 25, falling to her death. Of course, where there are comments allowed following this article, there are the usual idiots saying she died "doing what she loved."

WCSD teachers protested outside the Board meeting at a local school over the proposed opening of district schools next week.
The teachers also said they have had less prep time, and schedules are still fluctuating daily. They have been going to their schools for the past week to learn what will be expected this year. Teachers such as Harris said most of that time has been taken up by learning about cleaning and sanitizing.
“Basically there’s no education happening to my mind because we haven’t done a single second of lesson planning, because you don’t know what you’re teaching," Harris said.
She said the focus last week was on cleaning and handwashing and added that most classrooms do not have sufficient cleaning supplies yet.
What a disaster. I am glad I am not there anymore.
So much for the new superintendent being an improvement over her predecessors.
McNeill commented on the backlash from teachers, staff and members of the public during the meeting. District employees accused the superintendent of lying when she said she had not heard from principals about wanting to delay the start of school._____
“Of course, it is hard,” she said. “You wouldn’t be human if it doesn’t affect you on a personal level.”
McNeill said she receives 150-200 emails a day and she answers each one from employees.
A cold case murder has been solved in Alaska:
On Tuesday, the Alaska Department of Public Safety announced it had solved Baggen’s case using an emerging technique called genetic genealogy that has yielded charges in two other Alaska cold case homicides in the past year and a half. Evidence pointed toward a man named Steve Branch, 66, who had lived in Sitka but had moved a decade ago to a small town in Arkansas._____
When cold case investigators traveled there to confront him and ask for a DNA sample last week, he killed himself, according to the Department of Public Safety. An autopsy confirmed his DNA was linked to Baggen’s body, said David Hanson of the Alaska State Troopers Tuesday.
The Baggen case is the third high-profile unsolved Alaska murder to be cracked with the new and powerful technique of genetic genealogy, which uses online DNA genealogy databases to compare with genetic samples from crime scenes.
