The way American elections are covered, I always expect the winning candidate to get on the stage and sing their song once more.
Question: Is the order in which the results from the individual states are made available designed to make the coverage as thrilling as possible, as they do in the Eurovision Song Contest?

I watched some Death Note earlier this evening. If this goes on, I will try scribbling “ドナルド・トランプ” into a random notebook. Also, maybe I should give “The Man in the High Castle” another try?


Live coverage on Austrian TV: lots of very depressed looking people discussing the reasons and potential consequences of a Trump win. Not even the confirmed leftists among the journalists looked that depressed when our own right wing candidate Norbert Hofer won the first round of our presidential election in April (it’s still not decided, BTW - the postponed repeat of the second round of that election is scheduled for Dec 4).

Now might be a good time to request a script for mirtazapine from your GP or psychiatrist. Sleep, appetite, mood—it helps with all three.

I’m gonna take mine right the hell now.

I just want to congratulate @Chloe_Eudaly for winning a seat on the Portland City Council after coming into the race from his left as an outsider candidate against the incumbent, center right democrat Steve Novick. You were the best vote on my ballot.

You are Portlanders shining light in a sea of darkness.
