“We’re gonna drain the swamp, impose term limits, and kick all of the political insiders out of Washington!”

I call bullshit on Zucks, here. I spent a lot of this election cycle teaching people how to fact check. Apparently it wasn’t enough, but i tried :/

What a fucking idiot.

I feel just numb and hollowed out. I’m openly sobbing because I just learned Leonard Cohen died. I open up Gizmodo and see this.

I do love how Trump promised to bring back jobs that no longer exist anywhere. If people did the barest bit of reading/research, they could have seen right through his BS. His hiring the very people (Washington insiders, Goldman-Sachs banker for the Treasury) that voters were protesting against by voting in Trump is…

I disagree, Pence is Palpatine, sitting in the shadows and calling the shots. Trump is the public face to inspire fear and obedience.

I went to go see Dr. Strange last night to try to take some of the sting out of yesterday’s events, and the last Rogue One trailer played. My friend and I both agreed that this movie couldn’t be coming out at a better time. A message of hope and defiance in the face of overwhelming and seemingly unstoppable evil is…

This is the joke. All those people in the rust belt who think this conman is going to bring back their manufacturing jobs are suckers. They likely just made things worse. Not only is Trump surrounding himself with insiders, they are the worst of the bunch. Trump as a protest vote very effective. As a reality, likely a…

But this election was about change! (So we elected Trump and every single Republican incumbent we could find, except Mark Kirk.)

I know right? What does cybersecurity have to do with Technology???????

Because cybersecurity - and laws that stem from those efforts that affect technology, like SOPA and PIPA - aren’t tech news? Please. If you want to read tech reviews, CNET is over there waiting for you like a melted vanilla ice cream.

The NYC subway this morning felt like it did in the days after 9/11. People made eye contact with each other. There were knowing little nods of mutual resignation. The mood was funereal. The sadness had weight, and we were all feeling the burden of it. I just keep thinking this cannot be real. I’ll need a few days at…

Anyone else been ill all day? I feel like I have a combination of mono, being left at the altar, and kicked in the groin. Exercise helped. And I’m super proud of myself for only eating ONE pint of Ben and Jerry’s vegan Chunky Monkey.

I am still waiting for someone to pop up and tell the USA we’ve all been Punk’d. As a hijab-wearing Muslim, I can say with absolute certainty... I am terrified.

He basically has alt right leader Steve Bannon whispering in his ear, guiding him towards a fascist apocalypse.

I can’t believe this is happening. I can’t believe this is happening. I can’t believe this is happening. That loop has been playing in my head all day.

BRING OREGON AND WASHINGTON WITH YOU!! We’ve got flannel and good coffee and orcas and mountains and rain; we’ll be your Canada!

I wonder how many of these protestors didn’t vote for Hillary because they thought she had it in the bag.

I took it seriously.
