How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

85% reporting in District 22 with Devin Nunes trailing. So that's good. I hate that guy so much.

Oooh, me too! I really hate that fucker. That's a bit of bitter satisfaction on an inconclusive night.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I guess there's no real reason for me to continue to be awake, but I'm all wound up

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Which is all, frankly, 99% bullshit. How could I leave?

This election appears to be grabbing me by the pussy once again and then forcefully slamming me into the sidewalk face first. I’m not feeling that much loyalty.

I’m definitely embracing the squeeze the most moral and legal money possible from the govt but I’m about to embrace committing to something far more nomadic. This is my vehicle and and we all sleep here.

Maybe Biden will win. If he does, I’m willing to work hard for public health and the betterment of peeps. But Trump? Over his racist, misogynistic, classist game. I’ve seen his goals and we disagree.

My country disappoints me. This should be easy. But we have racism, misogyny, classism, greed and so many characteristics that make me give up.

Yeah. I'm starting to realize that without the pandemic Trump would have easily won re-election.

I don't know how it'll pan out, but at the moment it looks like a narrow win for Biden, but Dems won't take the Senate. So that will really impede Biden's ability to respond to the multiple crises in play.

Still. That would be better than Trump winning. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Come through Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Yeah, a Biden presidency with a Republican senate would help us stop shooting ourselves in the feet further. Which was not my ideal scenario 24 hours ago (you couldn’t keep it in your pants, Cunningham?), but it’s now my hope.

Speaking of small hopes, the Orange Menace is trying to declare victory before the PA ballot count is finished, which makes me think it might not go his way.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

So not the morning I wanted to wake up to.

On top of that, dear friends are being evicted because repeated identity theft attacks have drained their bank accounts, (temporarily) wrecked their credit rating, and their landlord is out of patience with their missed rent payments.

I'll be over here in the corner screaming silently.

Yes

I just looked at my county results and we have 95k out of ~250k ballots not counted yet. It’s probably not going to make a difference to get those ballots counted, although honestly who knows with the propositions, but that’s just a big number.

Oh, Theo! How terrible! I’m so sorry for your friends

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

So demoralizing to realize that people and things you love are not valued by half the country. One thing to know it and then another thing to see it in numbers. Going to shower and take my BURN IT ALL DOWN attitude to work. FUCK THIS SHIT.
