How does this work?
Do we all instantly become communists when @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social wins? Gets sworn in? Does she have to do something first? Do we need to sign something?
Any advice from NYC people? As you all have the extra complication of becoming Muslims now as well.

JUST IN: Katie Wilson significantly extends her lead in the Seattle mayoral race.
She now leads Mayor Bruce Harrell by 1,346 votes, or 0.5%.
That's up from the squeaker-lead of 91 votes in yesterday's update). She won today's batch of nearly 6K ballots by 20% (!).
Not much left at this point.

Let me know and we can figure something out!

One: "abhorrent”
Another: "Using Halo imagery in a call to ‘destroy’ people because of their immigration status goes way too far, and ought to offend every Halo fan, regardless of political orientation”

I don't seriouspost that much anymore, mostly because I'm tired and more cynical about the efficacy of the effort, but I'll give it a try for old time's sake.
It has been de rigueur for many professional posters to insist on participating in American democratic processes as a remedy for discontent.

It would be *really beneficial* for anyone applying to have online multiplayer and insider testing experience, for... absolutely no reason at all.
