Today is going to be anxiety filled and very hard for a lot of people to get through. I have friends who have been dreading this day simply because so much is at stake and is going to change just from this day.

Be kind to people today and go vote if you havent. Yes even in the state where you feel like your vote wont matter. You have a voice, you have a vote. Use it please.

@ryanc @dcoderlt oooo fun idea i like. Just install malware abd report back the traffic for interpol

@wdlindsy yeah thats really the time period im talking. 50s through the 70s.

@wdlindsy unfortunately journalism has always been about political affiliations of the publicatioms owners. We saw a brief period of reaction to the yellow journalism of the early 1900s with sensationalist capitalist journalism serving ultra wealthy and elite interestsnof its owners and friends.

Ever sinc3 cable news became a thing we largely returned to that sensationalist mentality. Papers have had to compete with that and unfortunately only billionaires seemed interested in keeping papers alive if anything for their own purposes.

It is no surprise and infact kind is laughable that anyone expected these papers to give 2 shits about such principles as democracy except to use them as empty platitudes for marketing.
