    While this is a large part of it, a significant thing I think is that you get a lot more enthusiasm voting for something than against something. If she was campaigning for things I didn’t hear it above the constant “orange shit is an orange shit”.

    A number of terrorist bomb threats to predominantly democratic polling locations in swing states and other fuckery may have also played a role.






  • Transcription:

    My lawyer just called and asked if I was ready for court tomorrow. Said hell, yeah, I ain’t goin’ see I been spending the last 6 months booby trapping my entire 500 acres. I got snake pits, rolling logs, bear traps, I got some straight up Indiana Jones shit. I got a fucking boulder that’ll fall down when you open my front door. 120 coyotes that I trained to bite anything with a crew cut and a badge. I flew an old Vietnamese man or here, he helped me dig about 12 miles worth of underground tunnels. I have 450 cameras. I’ve rigged the solar panels all around this motherfucker. I got a Bengal tiger locked in my fucking bathroom who’d kill for a pork chop right now. You know it’s surprisingly easy to teach a raccoon how to loosen log nuts and cut brake lines. If rather live the rest of my life in these woods living of fucking wild ginseng and creek water than go to fucking jail one more time. I don’t even try bringing no helicopters round here neither like I got a whole fucking coop of pigeons with c4 tied around their feets got a bunch of pvc pipe filled with gunpowder and ball bearings and a baboon who is deadly accurate with a nail gun.












  • Some singer called Charli released an album called Brat. And some fans decided it was “Brat girl summer”. Charli subsequently tweeted that Kamala is brat after her candidacy was announced and doing well. Harris’ campaign team changed her banner on Twitter/fb to the same green color as the album for a time after the tweet. Fuck if I know why anyone cared about this.

    Someone faked an excerpt from JD Vances memoir “hillbilly elegy” stating that Vance had admitted to fucking a kleenex box between some couch cushions. For obvious reasons the internet decided that this was very memeable and ran with it.


  • I mean they get your name and place of work. The university will have a website with your name and picture (though they don’t update the pic often if ever).

    As a researcher you will for better or worse also need social media accounts in order to network and be aware of non-standard funding opportunities. This at minimum is LinkedIn but Facebook/Twitter/Instagram are also used.

    When you collaborate as the not main person you also have to be willing to use the tools/software the main person is using. Whether that is Dropbox, Microsoft office, Slack, or Google drive. Sometimes all of them for different things. I control what I can but simply have to let the rest go for my own sanity (and employability).
