I go to put my pages in. Page 1 (the replacement page) goes in fine. Page 2 keeps jamming and tells me to take it back out. It finally goes in on the third or fourth try. The election worker asks if it beeped before I put the page in to let me know the first one was counted. Yes, it did, as I'd made that mistake years ago and don't anymore. I put the third page in, goes all the way in, then says there's an error and to call the election worker. (5/x)

He gets done and brags about how he leaves most of it blank out of protest and how ranked voting is algorithms that we don't even know what's going on with and fracking is top secret proprietary technology that we don't know about. Really staying on topic.

He finally leaves. My new ballot is mostly free of extra marks, but looking at the inky streaks from previous voters inside of the privacy sleeve, clearly the ink in the pens they provide suck and don't dry fast enough. Whatever.(4/x)

I eventually get my replacement ballot and the guy won't shut up. Even while he's voting. Telling the election worker to call his boss and ask why he wasn't taught this in his training and how he used to be a volunteer but they won't let him anymore etc etc.

(3/x)

I get stuck behind some blowhard getting his ballot, complaining about how the receipts aren't attached to the actual ballots on the tablet they are pulled from anymore so they can get mixed up. He had a valid point, but complaining to election volunteers and anyone else voting (like me for example) on election day does not solve it. (2/x)

My broken election adventure.

I like voting in person because there's a feeling of ceremony about it. My polling place this election has moved from the local firehouse to a community room upstairs in an apartment building a block from me.

Things did not go great. First there was a hair on the marker that made streaks occur way outside the circles I filled in. So I go to replace the ballot. (1/x)

Real this energy today on Twitter

I was just reminded the senate passed a bill to make DST permanent, and is waiting on house approval. But I’ll be ever so kind of tired! The government is permanently stealing an hour from us!

I bet the rich don’t even get taxed this hour and probably get to fall back an extra hour or two by being subsidized by our hours!! It’s chronological clock corruption! Timekeeping tyranny!! Don’t tread on my, um, minute hand! Help me out here, I’m flailing.

I just hope when daylight savings time is abolished it's after a fall back and not a spring forward, because otherwise we'll feel slightly groggy like we're missing an hour for the rest of our lives!!!

Is this where the purchase offer number came from? An ether induced hallucination?

I swear this account is going to be more than just bagging on Musk, but it's so fun!

Teen outside the liquor store asking you to buy him beer vibes.

After much serious reflection, I apologize for the previous statement, as making fun of billionaires is a hate crime, what with them being a protected class and all. Specifically, they are a class protected by lots and lots of money.

At this point I’m pretty convinced he has a studio in his home where he records terrible comedy albums (so far all unreleased) to a studio audience that signs NDAs.

Along with name and address, the Venmo app asks for the last four digits of your SSN in their app, but does the pseudo privacy thing by hiding it behind four dots. Then on the next page, it asks you to verify everything, including showing those four digits onscreen. Okay.

I'm Marge

Also forgot to post this dumb video two weeks ago that I made in 2019 based off a later edition of "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?". I am slipping.
