WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING!?!?!?!?!!!
@andrewhinton According to the Inquirer Dem control of the PA state Senate is still possible? 2 seats left to call, tied 24-24. https://www.inquirer.com/politics/election/inq2/pa-state-house-senate-midterm-election-live-results-20261103.html#pa-state-senate
@skyfaller Well turns out I am happy to be wrong — just heard we secured the senate too 💯
Looking at my local paper, it looks like all of the little red towns scattered around my region went blue last night.
These are places where you still see quite a few Trump signs (though fewer and fewer in recent years). They're full of hunters and pretty old-school rural conservatives.
River running free, you know how I feel.
Beautiful Nina ear worm. Thanks.
All the best on the long turnaround and reset.
Texas is blue now? What's next, affordable housing and universal healthcare? I'm all for utopian fiction, but let's not get carried away.
@fribbledom Well roughly half-blue when it comes to House elections but got blue Senator and blue Governor.
I guess Susan Collins learned her lesson tonight.
I wasn't concerned. 😆

@jwildeboer Men are just a little slow. Takes them about one to three four-year terms to realise... ^^

A lot of very deserved thanks to Zelensky for blowing up the bot farms, but we also need to thank Brazil for telling the world how to render bots and algorithm abuse null.
Дека готова!
По грифу осталось выровнять и закатать лады, сделать порожек и поставить колки + ритейнеры.
@RinonNinqueon Я не помню, спрашивал или нет - но: а че это ты вдруг решил стратокастер сделать?
How do you spell #BONKWAVE ?
The existence of this track would imply there should be a space:

Girlfriend just showed me an election post with the word "Bluekakke" and I'm peeing myself laughing.
I'm happy for my US friends who will sleep more soundly tonight than they have in a long time. I hope that when the celebrations are over, you continue to demand the representation and support that you are entitled to, and that that leads to positive outcomes for you and your nation <3

@kde If either still needs a home, I'd be happy to oblige ... also happy to support the project and work you guys are doing!
I use KDE on my desktop machine at home daily, and it's a great experience. Trying to influence the workplace with alternatives to Windows, so hope to work with it professionally in the future!
We sent you and email. But I can tell you now it will be Kailing.
