MB's Own November Midterm Election

^ Right, I understand what you're saying now. It's a subtle but well made point. Like you, I have no facts or figures available, but wouldn't disagree with that idea at all.

As for the election results, can't help feeling disappointed about Beto O'Rourke and so many other races that were "close but no cigar." Stacey Abrams I fear will be branded a sore loser, but she has a point: Kemp leads by about 75 thou. votes after having suppressed about 50 thou. voters. That's my take on it anyway.

And of course, the fact that Kemp oversees elections, in his capacity as Georgia Secretary of State, is a pretty glaring conflict of interest.

Somebody on Facebook is posting **** that says voting is giving consent to be ruled and I now don't like that person because they are an obnoxiously pretentious idiot.

I still use Facebook to see those funny little yellow cyclops dudes.

I'm still using FB as a slightly more convenient e-mail system for when I'm planning board game nights or a trip to the cinema or who's buying what for christmas. That's useful. The only other thing I use Facebook for is getting tonnes of news from the bands and solo artists I follow, about shows, new albums, etc.

I hope none of my friends find out that I don't actually see their wall posts.

People I know have to write SMS messages because of me. I've got a potato phone and refuse to stop using them.
