I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Ours too.

My credit union has a message up saying that their traffic is up and if you don't have a pending deposit yet please wait until tomorrow to check again and many people won't get anything until next week. Nothing for me, yet, but I think I had to wait a while for the first check as well. And I'm not really hurting for it right now as I did just get paid. Good old end of the month paycheck beating the holiday.

I think I'll be receiving mine by mail, as I didn't trust the current administration with my bank account numbers for refunds and such. I'd rather take my chances on my mailman being honest.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Random (okay, topical news-related, but random to this discussion) hivemind question:

Is there a clear, succinct answer to the online peeps who insist that it doesn't matter that the soon-to-be-former administration and its supporters are 59-1 in the courts because almost everything was dismissed due to lack of standing, which to the STBFA's supporters is just a cowardly dodge that means none of the merits have ever been addressed?

That belief of theirs that the standing argument is a cheap dodge that invalidates everything feels like bullshit (and I know that every single claim of fraud that could be either proven or disproven has been investigated and disproven, albeit never in court--but why waste everyone's time on it all over again in court?), but I am a million miles from a lawyer or a Constitutional scholar and I can't articulate why it's bullshit. Is there some brief, clear "Here's why" out there?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Is there some brief, clear "Here's why" out there?

There's literally nothing fact-based that they would accept as a valid explanation. The only answer they'll accept is "You're right; the election was rigged in favor of Biden, so therefore your guy gets to be POTUS for life."

You're right; you're right; I know you're right.

(Also, I am so annoyed that, as of the last time I checked, there still wasn't a good gif of that line; there really needs to be.)
