Debate Day, that is. Tonight's meeting between J.D. Vance and Tim Walz will be, very possibly, the last debate of the cycle. It's going to be hosted by CBS, and hosted by that network's star personnel Norah O'Donnell and Margaret Brennan. Not only will CBS televise the event, so too will ABC, CNN, Fox, NBC, CNBC, MSNBC, C-SPAN, PBS, NewsNation and BBC. You can stream it on CBS 24/7, the other outlets will also stream it on their various online platforms.
We don't have much to say that we haven't already said, so let's get to the fun stuff. First, here are the "bingo squares" we've chosen for the debate:
From Tim Walz:From J.D. Vance:
- "Weird"
- His dog, Scout
- Story about a former student
- Football/Coaching

- "The people of Minnesota"
From Anyone (Moderators Included):

If it's in quotes, it has to be the exact word or phrase. If it's not in quotes, then the general subject/item just has to be raised.
If you want to play bingo at home, here are cards.
For our reader game, we're going to take a slightly different approach, just to mix things up. You get to pick six items. Each item is worth 10,000 points. However, the 10,000 points will be divided among all the readers who correctly choose the item. So, the optimal pick is something that you think will come up, but that you believe other readers DON'T think will come up. That entry form is here.
Reader B.J. in Arlington, MA reminds us:
The EV chat space on Slack will once again be open for live discussion during today's debate (and also on every other day; there is a small amount of discussion from a group of regulars on a daily basis). The discussion during the most recent debate was ... more fun than the one before it! You can join by visiting this link.
The chat space has multiple separate channels. The main ones are:If you have any technical questions about using Slack, post them in #general or wherever you find yourself and someone will help you out.
- #general: Anything related to EV, politics, etc.
- #debate-discussion: The live chat space for the current debate.
- #memes: A place to share and discuss meme images.
Also, we have an insta-poll if you care to weigh in once the debate is over. It is here.
Let's get ready to rumble! (Z)
