I guess there's no real reason for me to continue to be awake, but I'm all wound up
Anya, the Shopkeepers of America called. They wanted me to tell you that 'please go' just got replaced with 'have a nice day.'

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
My country disappoints me.
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.

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.

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.
