I like Troy. He played UO. And was a good DM.

Genuinely loved his D&D campaign and would play again in a heartbeat.

Trends I've seen from my peripheral vision, glancing at headlines over the last couple days:

1. OMG KAMALA HARRIS IS FUCKING AWESOME.

2. Trump was shot? Nah. He's being super mean.

I've been in Ireland all week and heard just about nothing about US elections, and maybe I should just stay here.

Suddenly my FB feed is FULL of all these posts about what a piece of shit JD Vance is, and last week I'd never even heard of him.

How did so many people become experts on this guy, so fast?

I hate that all no cool non-political FB groups are now just nonstop "LOL Vance fucked a couch" posts.

Now I have to leave them all.

Libertarians take a pretty funny shot at Harris supporters.

CNN's current headline:
Harris has enough votes to win historic nomination
Isn't it already historic? Not shitting on her, but how many presidential candidates for one of the two parties was not even a candidate in the primaries? Has that ever happened before? Ford doesn't count because he was never a candidate.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Question for anyone voting Harris, and this is not from a bad place, but a genuine question.

Is your vote just "anti-Trump" or do you genuinely think she's going to be a great president?

I'd vote for a dead squirrel over Trump. But I'd say I'm voting "for" party. Republicans are dead to me atm. I've voted straight D since 2016, +/-.

Well, AOC and I agree on one thing, most people in government have no technological knowledge whatsoever.
