I have now tried to vote twice. HUGE lines. So we are going to make the lines bigger when they start to drop. (Mr. Cosmic is still recovering from ankle surgery - standing with his boot and walker... nope.)
OK.
More than 8.4 million voters, including more than 4.5 million Democrats and more than 3.1 million Republicans, have voted early as of Oct. 18, according to data-collection firm TargetSmart.
One sign that could be a positive indicator for Democrats, however, is the number of newly registered voters since 2022: 49% of the 17.82 million are Democrats, 34% are Republicans and 17% are unaffiliated with either party, CBS reported Wednesday, citing TargetSmart data.
Every time I see a Trump Humper talk about rounding up and executing Democrats, I really really want to invest in mandatory Reeducation Camps after Harris wins.
I know. I know.
Tang, through a translator, just responded to a translated town hall question on Univision, by complaining that migrants don't speak the language and need translators.
So he's doing great! 🤣
Me: Early voting starts tomorrow.
Mr. Cosmic: Should we wait a few days for the lines to go down? Georgia looks insane.
Me: And that is why we are going.
When did we go all private yeehaws with money can crank up nuclear plants when we have let the gas and oil industry suppress it's use for PEOPLE?
I'm pro-nuclear from the standpoint that disposal of nuclear waste is a smaller problem to solve than climate change.
That said, not if they are going to be run by the Billionaire Boys Club.
Don't get me wrong (and please don't "Not ALL men" me here)...
I think it would pretty much be a case of problem mitigated to the point of just managing exceptions, right?
Um... a black conservative radio host referred to "house African American men" and "field African American men" and said it wasn't denigrating black men. On CNN.
It escalated FAST from that point.
Seriously? In this year of our Lord 2024? House and field?
Holy shit.
Generator is going in for maintenance, it might be the last year for it. Yes, it's a rock solid Honda, but it was purchase um.. in the 1990s. Which I hear is about the lifespan of even a solid piece of equipment.
In other news, generators are still stupidly expensive.
Sigh. Hope the old gal clears her test run. Even if fancy new generators don't require Popeye muscles to pull start. 😱
And, another thing - know how much enthusiasm and loyalty you get from a PAID canvasser?
None.
Literally there for the check. Don't give a shit about "the cause".
Elon is paying good money per hour to not care about electing Tang and just canvass through the motions.
Imagine outsourcing your ground game in key battleground states to a guy who thinks "Trust me, bro" is retail politics.
Him likely to get shot in parts of Pennsyltucky with that bouncing around shit. 😂
Mostly a typical Elon "You can't make me" to the EU. A bit of "I can do what I wanna with your stuff, 'cause I'm rich" and a smidgen of "If we lose your shit, it's because Elon don't like you and you can't do anything about it."

I posted this in Slack at work and it was really cool the number of people who were involved in BBSes back in the day.
He had a vanity plate that said XMODEM. Randy died years ago. End of an era where hobbyists could change the world during a blizzard.
Documentary series on BBS, episode one (Baud) features Ward and Randy Suess.
Ward Christensen was a wonderful, humble, and brilliant man who built so many of the foundational pieces on which we rely today.
The first time I met him, he took me on a walking tour of Chicago - you have never met anyone so filled with curiosity and wonder.
RIP.
