Let’s Talk About Tim Walz on This Very Special Tuesday Open Thread

You're gonna be talking about him all day anyway. Why not here?

Racket listens to its readers! So when Bluesky user lizajae asked for Racket to "give us a bonus open thread to talk giddily about the Walz news" this morning, we were happy to comply.

After all, it's not every day that a presidential candidate choses a Minnesotan as running mate. (In fact, this is only the third such day ever.) Regular Racket readers may have seen this coming: Way back on July 3, well before President Joe Biden dropped out of the race, we began thudding the Walz-as-VP-speculation drum.

So, you might very well be wasting your day gabbing about the guv, who was officially named as Kamala Harris's running mate one hour ago. Here's a (comfortable, troll-free) place to do it. I usually end these posts by inviting you to ignore the prompt and talk about whatever you want. And I guess you can do that. But I'm not sure anyone else will join you.
