Identify two adjacent sentences. Replace the period with a semicolon.

That's all it takes; there is more to them, but that's a valid use of the semicolon.

All headlines that yse the word “slams” are just clickbait.

Edit: Not saying LibreOffice isn’t correct, but, honestly journalism needs to get its act together.

How does a party of two just disappear! We have to go find them!

First couple episodes of Season 5 of Lower Decks. Not bad, I don’t love the stolen parallel pad arc overall, but these episodes were solid. I love the post-scarcity planet episode.

Workers were paid. More interesting to ask why they built the pyramids.

That’s true. Presidential elections are a little different given the primaries are technically only for convention delegates bound only for the first vote. There’s also instances where the party picks in the face of a candidate death before the primary or general, such as in Minnesota in 2002.

This was a big development in US politics that happened more or less due to fallout from the Vietnam War. Look at the map of the 1968 Democratic primaries and 1972 Democratic primaries. After the catastrophe that was 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago—driven by the drama around LBJ’s late departure, Hubert Humphrey being despicable, and the hope and ultimate assassination of RFK, and the lack of responsiveness to the anti-war movement, there was a serious push to move the process from one controlled almost entirely by party officials to a more democratic, if still party-official-directed process.

Mamdani won the primary election. In the US parties don't choose their candidates for elections (in b4 "but superdelegates!") like you see in other electoral systems where an internal party committee selects a candidate list. So this election was determining who was going to be the Democratic candidate for the actual election.

But New York has some weird fusion laws that allow people to run on multiple party lines so Cuomo, even though he lost the Democratic nomination, can still run in the general election.

This is exactly the reason I love sticker packs in Signal so much, they add an extra option for tone/body language while also reinforced shared favorite media with friends/family. Binge a TV show with your partner? Make a sticker pack out of it and now you get ti show how you feel and reinforce the shared experience.
