PSA: On #ElectionDay I will go to bed on time (I am in the European time zone), have a good night of sleep and when I wake up I will make coffee and pancakes, sit around for a while before, around noon, I will finally open up the NYT, WaPo and Guardian pages. During the night, when the misinformation and radical takes saturate all frequencies, I will dream about a better world. I will not waste my precious time with consuming information that only upsets me, without me being able to do anything.

@jwildeboer that's a good plan! Maybe even switch off all electronic devices that could spoil the plan.

Jan Wildeboer 😷:krulorange:

@das_menschy That's what I do every night anyway My bedroom is free of any electronics, mobile phones or other devices with a screen.

Jan Wildeboer 😷:krulorange:

I am absolutely not saying you should do the same. I remember how I spent the first Obama Election Night at an illegal party in the former Hungarian (or was it Romanian?) embassy in East-Berlin where some people broke into and set up a sound system, lights and bars. It was a looooooong night But this time I will protect myself from too much weirdness and check the results once they're a bit more stable.

@jwildeboer it does seem more likely than not that we won't know the results Tuesday night or Wednesday morning.

Jan Wildeboer 😷:krulorange:

@kkeller We will see. Nothing we can do about it anyway.

@jwildeboer Ignoring the facts does not help either. I still remember the morning in November 2016 when I woke up to the radio news coming from my alarm clock stating that Trump had won. I’m afraid that this situation might repeat itself next week…

@dans_root Just because I prefer a good nights sleep over being early with knowing the results doesn't mean I am ignoring facts.
