I have paid less attention to this election, at least in writing, than any election since probably Bush/Gore. The reasons are probably pretty obvious; first, that the outcome is more or less predetermined no matter what foolish children on TikTok or Dean Phillips think and second, I don’t enjoy the existential horror that rears up every time I contemplate the idea of the Beast getting a second crack at the White House. It doesn’t help that I’m holding firm to my stance that I Know Nothing About Politics, and it also doesn’t help that the polls seem to be pretty clearly saying one thing, and every other aspect of reality appears to be saying another thing, and those two things are not the same.

(Almost starts a rant, aborts)

Anyway. Today was an e-learning/meetings day, and tomorrow and Friday both ought to be pretty calm. Ought to; we’ll see, as e-learning days can really screw up the rhythm of the week and it’s entirely possible that I’m going to get a loud and annoying Monday-Tuesday cycle (Tuesday is reliably the worst behavior day of the week) for the second time this week instead of the usually more sedate and chill Thursday-Friday. We’ll see what happens, I suppose.
