She is one of the film industry’s most amazing success stories. A little more than a decade ago, she was working in some of the worst, most amateurish movies you have ever seen, like Hannah Takes the Stairs and Baghead, and now she is writing and directing award-worthy films starring A-listers, and has three Oscar nominations on her resume. Whoda thunk it? I’m not sure how she pulled that off, but she has always been competent, even in those crappy mumblecore films, so perhaps her success is a tribute to the American dream of advancing through hard work and intelligence. Anyway, that’s the story I like best, so I’m sticking to it.

Some examples from the article:

  • An unfathomably high amount of document shredding.
  • Finally follow through on campaign pledge to stand in middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody.
  • Award Twitter user @920274749_000 the Presidential Medal of Valor for unwavering support over past four years.

Not mentioned: While the Preisdent has run up some impressive numbers of COVID victims he killed passively through neglect, there’s still many more he could kill actively by holding more crowded and maskless rallies.

538’s overview

CNN’s election map

UPDATE:

1. Biden has won Arizona and Georgia.

2. Trump has won Alaska and North Carolina

The final electoral count is 306-232.

Several recounts will happen, but the margins are all far greater than the largest amount ever shifted by a recount.

The lawsuits will not change any results. They are all either lacking in merit or so insignificant as to have no impact on the result.

I’m sure you are well aware that all eyes and everyone’s remaining dollars will get poured into Georgia, where control of the Senate is at stake. Everyone in Georgia is likely to remain as annoyed with their fellow Georgians as we all have been with each other for months, and everyone in the state will be miserable except the TV, radio, print and billboard salesmen, all of whom stand to earn record commissions from the expected deluge of political ads.
