Drop your favorite Dad joke.

Every vote really, really, really does count.

Also too: the Boebert thing is not at all a done deal.

I took a relatively large step (for me) and self-published my poetry, on my web site, with a link from the front page. #Poetry is personal and always feels like people won’t appreciate that piece of you; but I think my poems are quite good to be honest. I’m proud of them and I think they’ve got some universality and make you think.

So I present to you the most recent, which drove me to do this (because I like it, and hope you do too): “To Build a Fire.” #PoetryCommunity https://www.trisweb.com/poetry/mine/tobuildafire.html

You have set up an extraordinary server. And an ecosystem that can enable people to do and write good science on #fediverse
Qoto.org is like #arxiv of fediverse.

I feel like Neo walking into the Matrix for the first time. No, Dorothy landing in Oz. No, wait. Charlie walking into Wonka, Inc., only without all the arbitrary rules. HI! #introduction

White Evangelicals voted for a pathological lying, woman beating adulteress, who neglects his own family, and pressures women into abortions, over the pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church.

IDEA: Media outlets should wait until AFTER the election before writing dozens of articles about why one party performed poorly

Very happy to find this group of brilliant scientists and clinicians - who have been so amazing at both sharing their expertise and listening to diverse views and concerns throughout the pandemic - here:

Given their disappointing results, Republicans proposing even stricter Voter ID laws, such as $8 for verification.

And just whose expectations were those, WaPo?

I remain genuinely and pleasantly shocked that in the course of 10 days or so, we all just went, “no way, eff this, we’re going to @Mastodon”, and now we’re just here and people are so nice and writing alt-text in their images and sharing great stuff and using content warnings and everything. Obviously none of this would have been possible without years of work by #Fediverse / #ActivityHub devs that came before. Even so, this is really something, no? 😃

I am SO proud of Maryland’s new Gov-Elect @iamwesmoore. A superstar who is brilliant and dedicated. He is the first Black Governor in the history of the state and only the third Black Governor elected to office in the U.S. since Reconstruction. Wonderful! If you don’t know him learn about him!

1. Elections aren't decided by polls

They are decided by counting votes

So we should pay more attention to Pennsylvania — which could determine control of the Senate — where Republicans are trying to exclude thousands of ballots from eligible voters
