Natter 78: I might need to watch some Buffy for inspiration

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

There are some nice results coming in from the eastern side of the country tonight. Steph, you’re a proud Cincinnatian, right? Congrats on kicking Vance’s half-brother back into whatever hole he crawled out of to try and be mayor.

ETA: jinx!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

He didn't just lose; he lost by a HUGE margin! It's so satisfying!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

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

Prop 50 called as a W as polls close.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Dems swept the VA State House, won the 2 governorships in NJ and VA, and held the PA Supreme Court.

And Prop 50 won by a WIDE margin.

I'm feeling... hopeful? Is that this feeling?

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

Whew, I’m having a hard time winding from all this good news and catching the Mamdani speech (happened on a stream just as he was coming out to speak, pretty great!)

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

I sure like this year's Election Day a whole lot better than last year's.

Congratulations, NYC. Maybe Zohran can call up Sadiq Khan over in London and they can swap notes on how to deal with racist shithead Islamophobes.

Such a contrast to last year! Similar not sleepiness, opposite vibe

Our wings are not tired.

The turnout numbers were incredible. Double from the last NTC mayoral contest. Also huge turnout in the other races. We had no election here. It was a fun night!

My only hope is that the sheep will realize that Trump's endorsements mean nothing. I get that they have other reasons to fear his wrath, but being primaried isn't one of them. Who would have thought that MTG would be the one GOP Rep. to point out that her fellows were weak?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Fuck yeah, Virginia. I can't wait to be represented by Dems again.
