The "fuck you, I've got mine" is the biggest issue right now. My understanding is there's a lot of Republican voters who know and admit Trump is a complete disaster and unfit to lead, but they're still willing to vote for him because he delivers them tax cuts and conservative judges. (And then there's his batshit crazy rabid base.)
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Wow! My county elected its first sheriff who is a woman and who's queer. That's amazing and awesome!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Seriously, fucking Susan Collins.

What is even happening?
I am angry that Sara Gideon conceded to Susan Collins. There are still uncounted votes. This is fuckery. I don't care if she has information telling her she's likely to lose. In an election like this one, you count every fricking vote.
I would really like to be cautiously optimistic but so far this election feels like everything that went wrong in 2000 and 2016 all at once.
This is where I live.

Thank you for sharing this, Teppy. I couldn't see the good news, on account of my rage fog.

I'm missing out on getting a Dem rep by like 1.5%, which is what got siphoned off into third-party candidates.

I haven't looked at any of the news yet, and I may put it off until after I catch up on three days of Slack messages for work.

I worked a 17 hour day yesterday, got a few hours of sleep, and I'm back at it again today. I'm too busy to be as pissed as I want to be about the third-party candidates siphoning off votes in super tight races, but at least I'm actively working to prevent election misinformation from spreading online.
