I completely forgot about the long Pennsylvania counting wait due to mail ballots in 2020, but sure sounds like they'd better have better security at the counting centers this year.

Hey friends just checking in to register my longest failure to bookmark the new CE thread ever. Just caught up! Saw some stuff I'd actually missed!

Here's a Ween release I'm also really late to discover as penance:

CSPAM in this case, well that’s my suspicion. I ran a search in CSPAM based on the times and context of Prolapse (a fellow poster said it might be a good :lol: and/or :stare:) and it appears they really don’t like me. As I said CSPAM likes to give it, but they can’t take it.

Back onto CE, I can’t even imagine Dougie or Trump stepping foot into Philly.

For a brief happy moment I assumed this was just a crazy rando in a primary race and not the actual person who won. Lol. Lmao.

This is really just an extension of things they already say (Democrats did the slavery, COVID was a conspiracy, etc) so she's just a little ahead of the curve :shepface:

Michigan's gubernatorial primary was a shitshow, since all of the candidates that actually had a chance of winning (Including the former police chief of Detroit, James Craig, who probably would have had a decent shot) ended up getting disqualified from appearing from the primary ballot after a ton of signatures were found invalid. https://www.bridgemi.com/michigan-government/massive-forgery-scheme-claims-rock-michigan-elections-governors-race

Really hard to know. He's a idiotic narcissistic troll, but he now owes like $13B to banks and desperately needs to cut headcount and sign lots of sponsors. He even posted a PLEASE ADVERTISE US, I'M NOT TURNING TWITTER INTO 4CHAN open letter to advertisers, so who the gently caress knows.

Maybe a few days when he realizes that 4chan-lite will get the fox news advertisers for gold and prepper meals.

Edit: lol


quote:

So far, he appears to be interested mainly in the technical capabilities of the company and its staff. The very evening that the deal was signed, engineering team managers messaged their staffers. Meetings with Musk had been scheduled for Friday with a simple directive: "bring code."

Edit2: Donnie says he gets his account back Monday and is happy to frequent an African-American owned business

Yeah he somewhere in the realm of 1.5 to 2x what the company is worth, based on the performance of other techs stocks since the offer. I think rocking the boat too hard might actually be significant enough to get his attention.

Shortly after taking the helm of Twitter, Musk reportedly ousted several senior figures, including Agrawal; Ned Segal, the chief financial officer; and Vijaya Gadde, the head of legal policy, trust and safety.

Agrawal and Segal were in Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters when the deal closed and were escorted out, Reuters reported.

MySpace, once I get my undergrad IT department to unlock the university email account I signed up with back in 2003 and haven’t checked since I graduated.

Tom from MySpace is the platonic ideal of tech bros since he took his huge payout and now just spends his time chilling out, taking pictures and traveling instead of being the human equivalent of a shitpost.

Paywalled, but per NYT, an intruder put Pelosi's husband into the hospital last night: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/28/us/politics/nancy-pelosi-husband-assaulted.html

Seems like a good instant barometer for whether a conservative needs to be cut out of your life or not. If there's a "but..." after condemning home invasion as political expression, chud is too far gone.

News reports that someone broke in to Nancy Pelosi's house and beat the poo poo out of her husband. Hospitalized, looks like he's stable and will survive but that's a really dicey proposal for someone 80+. Much, much less so with money of course so pretty good odds in the end. No word on motive, suspect is detained.

The Pelosi husband thing is extremely weird because it was assault via hammer.

It's always strange how easy firearms access is in the country, but so many of these assaults are with a motorized power scooter handle, or some wacky poo poo. Like someone wacky broke in, yelled STOP, then decided it was hammer time for unknown reasons.
