…so…between you & me I’m not really short of links I could have filled this with…but today is going to be tough enough & I figured for once maybe I wouldn’t?
…so maybe you’re feeling a little tense
…or maybe you’re hoping for the best
…but I’m betting you’re feeling some kind of way
…any which way you’re feeling…if you want to talk about it…& by it I guess I mean the whole electoral shitshow we’re trapped in for the immediate future…here’s the place…they do say misery loves company…& without a definitive result to put us out of our collective misery I know I for one would appreciate the company?
Presidents are temporary … but Wu-Tang is forever.
It’s going to be a long day. How soon can I start drinking?
…about 4 years ago by my count…the sun is always over the yardarm somewhere & as one of the rat pack said (I’m pretty sure?) I’m a believer in whatever gets you through the night?
I hereby give you my blessing…dive right in, the water’s warm!
ETA: it’s 7:22am here and I’m already in the water.
I got my groceries so I don’t have to drive anymore today. And I happened to pick up some lemons so…it’s cocktail time!
I had a fairly surreal experience many years ago. I was in a supermarket and they were playing that Muzak-ed, all-instrumental version of songs, and this was one them. It haunted me, because it wasn’t a simple guitar version, it had violins and…”I know this song, I know I do, but what could it be?” It finally dawned on me that it was a version of this. I also heard this performed once in a bouncy way by a marching band.
I hope Tracy Chapman raked in the royalties for all of this.
Is there an election night live chat we can do? (Don’t ask me to set it up)
Damn these thick thumbs… I keep hitting the quote button
…that might be above my pay grade but there is(/was?) a deadsplinter discord of sorts that might be able to hack that sort of thing if it’s still extant?
…I’ll enquire, anyway
You want to kill off about 25 million Trump voters in one fell swoop? If Biden wins this thing he should announce that Hunter will be nominated for Secretary of Energy.
America has to go through some type of radical change.
If y’all need me, I’ll be in bed with the covers pulled over my head. Cradling a whiskey bottle. Jesus, this day is going to last a million years.
…the other thread was more or less my best shot at a place to duck & cover…assuming that’s an option
Honestly, can his cult just go ahead an rapture themselves so we can start cleaning this shit up now?
Also thanks to all this eternal anxiety, my decidedly delicate internal balance is all sorts of fucked. And I still have to work today and tomorrow. I am surrounded by MAGAChud cretins. 💩😭
PREDICTION
welp…its almost dinner time for me and hasnt turned into a complete shit show yet (i realize the days barely begun over there)…but hey…off to a good start
(i know i know…theres like at least a week left of this day…)
I ran across a Quran today. Here is the first passage I randomly opened to:
“Had they gone forth with you, they would only have proved a source of evil for you, and would have run back and forth among you, seeking to sow discord among you: and among you there were some who would have willingly listened to them.”
…I dread to think what the i ching would come up with on a day like today
…but then that one I doubt I’d understand on a good day?
…your quote seems alarmingly apposite, though…I sometimes wonder if the main principle all these ancient texts demonstrate is “same shit – different day” because people haven’t changed much in all that time
…that’s certainly why I’m fond of flicking through the meditations of marcus aurelius from time to time, anyway?
Got another superspreader event on our hands

There was another one recently gifted to us by Crossroads Community Church in Fitchburg, MA. I didn’t read the details but having Crossroads in your name implies freelance, cult-of-personality evangelism.
The photos showed that a mullet hair style was de rigueur among Mullet Toss contestants
This is the first thing that ALWAYS pops into my head, whenever i hear/read something mentioning anything being “about (that) time…”
So i’ma annoy all of YOU with this song, too!😉😆😂🤣💖
God I hope this country doesn’t fuck this up.
Your lips to god’s ears, Bubs.
Fuck yes Homestar Runner!
Thanks for posting the chingatumaga sign. I passed one but didn’t exactly catch what it said and by the time I got home my memory was too clouded to look it up.
CHINGATUMAGA. I like that.
