First question from someone from #WSocial to the board: is it European or EU?
Answer from @bjoernsta
European.social is not about Nations, it's about common values and principles.
@Ruhrnalist 😱 I can't believe they're there OMG
I'm glad to see some positive news from election night. After getting home from the polls tired and sore I looked at Florida results and was feeling pretty negative about it. Thankfully the state that I'm in just sucks but others did better.
I had to stop myself from posting several times yesterday about how stupid, unnecessary, and harmful all of the voting restrictions that have been put into law here in just the past few years are. I'm grateful that we had record turnout. But too many barriers exist to voting.

Note that the post doesn’t necessarily go against your (re)posting style, but rather how it is represented in the apps. As others have noted, there are options that combine reposts, with Voyager (which is shown in OP’s screenshot) having an open issue ticket. Though you using the native repost function probably helps.
Thank you for your work, btw ❤️
Bonkwave is losing? To CATS?!?
Not only losing to cats, which is possibly expected, but also losing to Purple, which I did not expect.

When in sixth form, used to have a challenge to see who could eat the most chewing gum stuck on the bottom of the desks.
You have to pick just one. This is obviously unreasonable, but I'm cornering you and asking:
"Which of the following factors do you think was most significant in the Democratic victories in this US midterm election?"
(I'm also not asking what mattered most to YOU but what you think "swayed the public most")

Hey @elonmusk@twitter.com, since you're so often simping for Russia, let me teach you a common Russian word: ЛОХ. It's pronounced "lokh." It means someone who poured half a billion into a political venture and got the exact opposite results. A sucker. A failed wannabe Soros. Лох.
I want to make some election night snacks so my family, friends and I can stress eat (aka enjoy ourselves) while we wait for the central time zone results to come in. Salty and sweet treats are acceptable.
What's your favorite stress reduction treat? Bonus points if its format rewards snacking/grazing.
(It's basically dark now and my outside work distraction opportunity is over.)
@alisynthesis If I'm feeling stressed I really like a cup of tea; if it comes with biscuits I can dunk in it, even better.

Looks like Putin and Netanyahu lost the midterms in the US.
@aral Now it’s just a question of how many of these new senators will turn Fetterman.
@hbons The simple ones are the best. This is a Bosch monstrosity. But I found the single button one needs to use;)
As such I do appreciate that it indeed might be a good idea to cool the magnetron (or whatever it is) for a while after it has been turned off. But the fan sound shouldn't confuse the user.
@tml I wonder if it’s a thing on the built-in ones that have a harder time cooling down.

Congratulations to your "Blue Tsunami" US. Now comes the real hard part. Below meme isn't exactly new. Biden's term just has been the latest example of it.
Keep your officials on a *very* short leash.
Senate Democrats need to replace Schumer yesterday. Put in a Majority Leader who will fight and lead.
Find a leader that has a soul.
