I still consider many of you to be dear friends and if you would like to keep in touch with me, you are welcome in my Play Critically discord server. It's small, but active, where we mostly talk about videogames we're playing, TV shows and movies, and trying to find a job.

Thrilled to see so many more of you have abandoned the Other Place to make Bluesky your new social media home. I am avoiding all social media right now because making Donald Trump and Elon Musk's every move a major part of my life will make me so miserable I will never get anything done.

I really let myself believe that Trump would shit himself to death when Florida was called for Harris early on night 1.

Florida let me down but that's my fault for taking all those "Florida is in play because of abortion, honest guys!" people seriously.

Shouting this at the 24 hour news channels. There is no use in making announcements literally the minute polls close! No use at all!

The electoral map was terrifying but the popular vote difference was only a few points.

Putting on whited out glasses and blasting my skull with green noise.

Last I checked it showed Trump has a 67% chance of victory, a number which will change as more data comes in, which is... not how probability works. You don't bet on a 2/3 chance in roulette then stand there smiling while the house adds 70 new numbers to the wheel.

IF IT CONSTANTLY CHANGES IN REAL TIME THEN TRUMP DOES NOT HAVE 66% CHANCE OF WINNING THAT IS NOT HOW PROBABILITY WORKS THAT'S NOT HOW ANY OF THIS WORKS

Friend, there aren't going to be any senate confirmations in a second Trump administration.

Things felt really dark in 2020 on tuesday night too, now it's commonly accepted that Biden won that election handily.
