This year is being touted as an unprecedented year of elections with consequences across the globe. Hundreds of millions have voted from India to Indonesia to Mexico. This past month it was the turn of two of America’s most significant European allies, the U.K. and France, the two Western states that sit alongside the United States as permanent members of the U.N.

Morning N&N for July 17

Steven Kwan was the first Guardian to appear in the 2024 MLB All-star game, but he was far from the last.

Batting leadoff for the American League, Kwan faced off against Paul Skenes, who was dressed as a member of the 2011 Marlins. Along with his teammates, Kwan was dressed as Infield.

Kwan popped up. He later walked before being replaced by Riley Greene. Greene dressed as sand was confusing.
