IF they can make it to the voting site

Image from NYTimes. Healy: If Harris wins, are there steps she could take to unify the country? Or do you think unity will be out of reach? Cottom: Why would a President Harris be expected to unify a country that was never unified before? I want her to expand the court, make care work part of American infrastructure and use the bully pulpit responsibly. I don't care about unity.

The way this Tressie McMillan Cottom reply blew my hair back…

when you accidentally write the most pro-Kamala post of the election

I know (depending on the outcome) it's ultimately worse for people living in the US, but the anxiety for those of us living abroad on election day is at least 5 hours longer and I don't think my body can handle it

Missing a flight because you have to zigzag through a maze of duty free shops, WHSmith and 5 different Pret a Mangers to get to your gate that's actually only 100 meters away

Absurd how modern airports are now just high security shopping malls that airplanes happen to land at.

A pub in London called The Barrowboy and Banker

I think I just found where The Decemberists write all their songs?

Once again: DST doesn’t solve the problem of going to/from work in the dark.

Instead, when days get shorter in the fall, we should just shorten the workday by an hour.

Then in spring, when we start getting more daylight again, we can shorten the workday by another hour.

The only enjoyable part of this miserable, interminable election has been watching how unhappy he is. He’s a hostage of the dictators dilemma. He hasn’t wanted to be doing any of this, he hates it, he hates his supporters, and he hates himself.

You just love to see it.

Tweet from me from Nov 9, 2016: "Only solace here is that once he realizes the level of boring work involved, Trump is going to hate being president. "

I can't believe it's been 8 years, but something I've had to keep in mind since November 2016

"halal minus fresh minus clean = instanbul diner"?

Daylight Saving Time sucks for many reasons but one of them is definitely that we get to time travel but end up sleeping through it

A sign in a train in England reading "next stop: Bishop's Stortford"

American guy trying to come up with an English town name off the cuff
"uh Bishop's... Stort... Ford?"

I'm cautiously optimistic about Trump losing the election (and badly) but the idea that he'll ever face any real consequences is laughable, sorry everybody

My last 20 minutes in London and I finally overhead a very posh Englishman say "shall we just meet at the Ritz?" while on the phone, just under the wire 😅

Legit one of my favorite movies of the past few years 👇

This IS my beautiful house

tweet from elon musk: “A lot of people still don't believe me when I say that the Dems will do everything in their power to destroy me if they win on Nov 5th”

Filling in the box for Kamala Harris so hard my fingers bleed

@tmbg.bsky.social played Sapphire Bullets of Pure Love "sonically reversed" at tonight's show in Southampton 😂👏

An obvious bot now following me

Bluesky has officially Made It

Man who hasn't seen a vagina since he was born: "I ain't afraid of no hoes"

Toot from Helen Czerski: The evidence that cars don’t work as primary mass transport in cities is everywhere: traffic jams, air pollution, accident rates, the shocking fraction of city space taken up by parking spaces, safety barriers/bollards etc. This 100 year experiment should be declared over, and we should put proper effort into the systems that HAVE been shown to work and scale: walking, cycling, e-cargo bikes, cheap/accessible/reliable public transport. This “argument” about LTNs is just lazy delay. #LTN #cities

Whatever I have to say about how cars ruin cities, @helenczerski.bsky.social has said more elegantly on Mastodon.

I'm at a playground near Kensington Palace and a helicopter just landed and apparently one of the royals is on it because every British person here is losing their mind, people running over to the fences to watch, the playground is now empty. Totally normal society here

Oh definitely not but they'll probably still get us in trouble for being gone

Also super fun when they (Berlin anyway) make christmas vacation 10 days long, making it near impossible for anyone with family overseas to go visit them, and then doing another random week off in fuckin February. Just make one long break!

A photo of a street full of cars piled up on one another after floods in Spain

Nature hates your car

Looks like half the 20-somethings moving to Berlin

Cars are not only one of the biggest causes of global heating and the related increasing intensity and frequency of storms, they are also its collateral damage. A system built around the private automobile will not save us, and cannot save itself. Survival requires that we change, and fast.

They're Saying It | Defector It is not quite right to say that you never know what you’re going to get from a Donald Trump campaign event. You might see some things, up to and including the richest man alive showing up and caperi...

I wrote about Tony Hinchcliffe's awful jokes in the context of a strange and ugly couple of weeks/years, and the enduring fantasy that normal shitheads have of Being Trump. defector.com/theyre-sayin...
