It's looking likely that Trump winds up with 313 electoral votes, +- 1 since we have a couple of states that aren't winner-take-all.

Not only did he win, he won by a larger margin than 2016, where he got 302. He's also ahead on the popular vote by a decent margin, currently 3.5 points, which wasn't the case in 2016, when he lost the popular vote.

Overall, solid result, about as good as could have been hoped for given the polling. And amusingly, this almost perfectly matches up with 538's projection (attached) for what would happen if Trump outperformed the polls by 4 points, which was a scenario they considered since that was roughly the case in both 2016 and 2020.

@sun @j Seems like DMs are broken too

Good Morning

@j Gleasonator has been steadily falling apart unfortunately

Flights cancelled

Some banking services down

Many websites down

Some companies just unable to function

Goddamn, imagine being the dude who wrote whatever buggy code just ground a huge chunk of the modern world to a halt

@graf We had some critical stuff go down at work, and in conversation with the IT guy, he said it was a global problem. I assumed he just meant "company-wide". Turned out nope, he meant global.

I'm assuming we've all heard the news?

@LukeAlmighty I mean how are you being less selfish by not wanting to be available for your coworkers :blobcatwinktongue:

@Jens_Rasmussen Less of a motivation, but hot actors sell tickets, and selling tickets is their #1 goal.

@icedquinn It wasn't even really "the UN" as I recall, it was just a claim put out by some bureaucrat. Musk publicly called him out on twitter (the bureaucrat also had an account), saying that if the bureaucrat could substantiate the claim with details for how whatever the amount was would actually solve it, Musk would immediately sell the amount of stock needed and provide the cash to fund it.

As you can guess, no detailed plan was ever provided. It was a laughably small amount relative to the scale of the world hunger problem as I recall, waaay less than the USA already provides in foreign aid every year.
