Washington DC shops are boarding up their windows

not to mention their signatures aren't legible because they don't write with a pen or pencil, they only type

Almost as if they know who is going to lose

Yougov poll showing 1 in 8 women have voted differently to their husbands and have not told them.

if the lovely Mrs Nigh votes for the orange rapey lard we'll be having words

why leave it so late?

Election day voting turnout is absolutely massive in most of the swing states and the GOP cannibalized their election day vote by asking those who typically vote on election day to vote early. They've got to find and get out to vote low-propensity folk like young white males.

In particular, the voting numbers in Philadelphia are insane. They are high among all demos but, perhaps not surprisingly, the Puerto Rican community, which is typically among the lowest turnout demos, is showing up in droves.

Bookies odds factor incoming bets, if enough people are lumping on Trump and he loses, then it makes up for their losses if Harris wins. Their prices reflect how they can guarantee their profit the best. So they're an OK metric but not as good as polls in this case.

We've seen an awful lot of herding in the polls last week. Only outlier was a pro-Harris poll in Iowa.
Betting markets, and @emir are betting on the same polling error we saw in 16 & 20. I'm not so sure if they're going to be right.

This fella is very interesting! I just finished listening to the most recent This American Life podcast and they have a nice segment on Isaac’s newsletter, Tangle.

Highly recommend a listen

Thanks for the recommendation, was a great piece

Monster ???? Monster ????

I wouldn’t pour that junk down the neck of my worst enemy. My body is a temple I’ll have you know.

I have the body of a god.

Just a shame it’s the Buddha


Here all night ladies and gentlemen.. here… all… night.

Almost as if they know who is going to lose

On one thing I do agree with the republicans.
A vote should be on 1 day and on paper. Every community has to have a polling station within 3 miles.

No fuss, no discussions. People who can't vote can delegate that vote. One person can only have one 'delegation'.

Despite having 11 (possibly more) kids, running 5 companies and PAC Musk apparently has found the time to reach top 20 worldwide in a game


Given the time suck to get to that type of level I can’t see how he spends any time with his kids at all.

His claim is a bit shady. He's 20th on a website that requires video evidence of a run for a specific(and difficult) dungeon. That website has less than a thousand submissions and isn't affiliated with the game or makers.
