@GraceLaine it's a ponzi scheme. Dont bother. If you can't buy things with so called currency but ownership of digital pictures, it's not currency.

A ONE-VOTE WIN‼️ Here's a cool thing to show the next person who tells you 'my vote doesn't make any difference.'

💙 Democrat Maxine Mosley finished 23 votes behind Republican incumbent Larry Gagne on Election Day, but after Monday’s recount, in which she picked up two votes and Gagne lost 22, she eked out a one-vote win.💙 #USPol

@nicolewolverton my brother, who was a 45 voter in 16 and 20, said he doesn't really care that much for Trump and hopes that DeSantis runs. He thinks the Republicans are pretty much done with 45s antics.

Katie Hobbs just beat Kari Lake! 👏

Apparently, the conservatives are freaking out and claiming fraud and heaven knows what. 🙃

Meanwhile, everyone is turning against #Trump, which I would like to have made into pill form so I can take it daily as a supplement.

@stevetex I was watching the WAN Show (Linus Tech Tips) and they're hiring too, if anyone is near the Vancouver, B.C. Canada area.

From AstroFalls in New South Wales, Australia:

The November 8 eclipse in the Earth’s shadow.

If you take pictures throughout the duration of a lunar eclipse, you can use them to reconstruct an image of the shadow of our own planet, projected out into space.

This dark region of shadow is called the umbra, and as the moon passes into the umbra it is cast in a red/orange light from the sunrises and sunsets on our planet.

@HealthRanger Crypto is a ponzi scheme. If you can't buy things with it other than digital pictures, is it really a currency?

In the contest of "Roe vs. Red Wave" for the 2022 midterms, Roe won. It's time to codify it.

Twitter's implosion 

@WalterShaub@journa.host @joshtpm Well, now everyone should take his war against impersonation seriously... Oh, they never did. Nevermind.

If you were Twitter Verified before Nov. 5th but your account is *not* listed on fedified.com and you would like it to be listed, then please follow the very easy instructions on this very short form: forms.gle/Ynzdwz39nHtxD1Li6

I've thought a lot about it, and there's really no way to completely automate the process of verifying that the same person who controls a Twitter-verified account controls a Mastodon account— it needs to be a manual process to ensure integrity. (2/3)

I find that there's something mesmerising about star photos!! This is Procyon.
The name Procyon comes from ancient Greek and means 'before the dog'. Named so since it precedes the dog star, Sirius, as it moves across the night sky.
Procyon is a binary star system. This means it is gravitationally bound to another star, Procyon B, a white dwarf. They orbit each other every 40 years.
Procyon is one of the closest stars to our system.

📣 UPDATE: OK, I've gone through and posted my #GOPCovidDeathCult💀 estimates for the 20 uncalled House races:
acasignups.net/22/11/12/elepha

Elephant in the Room Redux, Part 2: Did the GOP's COVID Death Cult decide any HOUSE races?

A couple of days ago, in Part 1, I looked at whether or not the massive COVID death rate divide between Republicans & Democrats between the 2020 and 2022 elections ended up being enough to be a decisive factor in any statewide races. My conclusion was that there's likely to only be one statewide race* where a Republican candidate loses by less than the COVID death margin: The Nevada Senate race where, as of this writing, incumbent Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto is trailing Republican challenger Adam Laxalt by less than 800 votes. I estimate that somewhere between 900 - 2,400 more Trump voters than Biden voters died of COVID-19 over the past two years, so if Laxalt ends up losing by less than 2,400 votes, I'd say it's pretty likely that yes, the partisan gap in COVID deaths did indeed play a small but critical role. *Caveat: It's also conceivable that the Arizona Governor or Arizona Attorney General races could fall into this zone as well; as of this writing, Democrat Katie Hobbs is leading by around 26,000 votes for AZ Governor while Democrat Kris Mayes is leading by roughly 16,000 votes. So, that's statewide races. What about U.S. House races, however?
