That’s it. I’m calling it. Right now. At 10:59pm. No more. It’s gonna have to be drugs, a couple of Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer matches and then bed for 10+ hours. It’s the only path that doesn’t lead to spontaneous human combustion and me on the cover of Fortean Times. (Does FT still exist?)

This is what I need. If absolutely anyone out there might like to further reassure me that I should just go ahead and pass out, I beg you do so.

With 93% of votes reported I am now confident in officially declaring that this is now a THREE PEPCID DAY.

I know I just post enthusiastically into the void and, even after fleeing X many moons ago, I stoically remain a bsky nobody. That said, my friend Chuck is a recent escapee of Threads & X. You might consider following him because he’s a helluva guy. Why not just do it? @chuckina.bsky.social

One hour from now… “MEN! KAMALA HARRIS WILL MAKE PENISES ILLEGAL! YOU HAVE TO VOTE RIGHT NOW!”

Anyone have a preference among the election coverage “channels” via streaming services? Never watched much TV news to begin with, but this is my first election without cable/satellite. Seems there’s many options btwn Prime, Paramount, Roku Channel, etc. Any you’d recommend for any reason at all?

My second favorite moment at the poll today: A young man, perhaps 20, arrived just after 5pm, walked hurriedly to me at the table and asked if he could register and vote at the same time. I said, “Unfortunately not here in NC”. He was dejected. “But,” I asked, “do you have a driver’s license?”

My favorite moment at the rural NC precinct where I’ve spent today: Was charmed to tears by a young woman who came over to be sure that Harris opposed Trump, then spoke of her pride that her native Mexico had elected their first female leader & her hopes that her new country might follow that lead.

My sister, from Ireland, sent me this poem. A good one for right now. (Click on the link to hear it: www.rattle.com/holding-vigi...)

Easing my worried brain by spending the day representing Dems at a rural NC voting precinct.

Waking up with the sense of purpose I can only feel when the day presents me with an opportunity to make a terrible person unhappy

HAVING LINES TO VOTE ANYWHERE IS A POLICY DECISION

oh tomorrow's going to be SUCH a long year

I, like many, still have someone in my social circle who is conspiracy-curious. One of my steadfast rules of interaction with this person is that certain topics are 100% non-starters & completely off-limits in conversation. Highest among these: - the gold standard - chemtrails - fluoridated water

Fart-sticks! Who has two thumbs, is NEVER without frozen meatballs, was about to make pasta and meatballs, and has zero meatballs in the freezer? This guy. 👍👍 Please do not let this be an omen.

Tense 24+ hours ahead. Just decided that I’m gonna mitigate them by whipping up my comfort food — capellini & meatballs — and opening a bottle of a delicious Crozes-Hermitage (a rare treat that living alone makes impractical).

RIP Quincy Jones, an inarguable TITAN of music whose talent sculpted more of your favorite songs than you know**. ** Jones, for example, produced the greatest song in the history of the known universe, Michael Jackson’s "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough".

Turning the clocks back at Penn Station, the old school way

Seriously tho, LET’S MESS WITH TEXAS.

This Kennedy dipshit has no idea what he faces in taking on the devoted fans of Duke’s Mayonnaise.

i think bernie here is well worth watching and fwiw my view on gaza is identical to his www.tiktok.com/t/ZTFp3Mj3c/

Nice that in the week before the election, the richest guy in the world who’s supporting his billionaire pal for president, is agreeing with a white nationalist account on the Nazi site he owns that it’s fine if Trump crashes the economy for a white in the process of cleansing the country of vermin.

I still get tummy rumbles when prominent Ds make vague gestures about a strong conservative party, but this is what they’re talking about. A *proper* opposition party would seat the bananapants weirdos at card tables in airports & bus stations where they belong. plus.flux.community/p/cnns-ryan-...

Okay let's do this "liberal" discourse. There's a real problem of the same word being used in different contexts. For most Americans, liberal just means the opposite of conservative. "Left" and "liberal" are synonyms in popular usage. Sorry, it grates on my ears too. 🧵
