I wish I had more stars to give.

I logically know that it is exceedingly unlikely that this recount effort will change the results of the election, but I’m still in the denial phase of my grief and I can’t help but hope.

A lot of Democrats believe Russia hacked voting machines.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we’re already having a Constitutional crisis. We have a Senate that has refused to act on a Supreme Court vacancy, we have a president-elect who may or may not have won the election fair-and-square, but most definitely lost the popular vote by at least 2.5 million votes, and…

Jeb Bush is one of those people I hate everything he says, but I kind of feel like he’s mostly an adult. Call it the Romney effect, if you will. So I agree on that one, but I’ve always gotten the impression that Cruz and Beck wholeheartedly agree with Bannon and just have the two neurons necessary to realize that they…

as of this very moment, i think president circus peanut intends to fuck at least 64,469,963 of us from the oval office.

taft’s shaft is not often historically discussed, from what i can tell.

I don’t know why he couldn’t just stay on and not cast his vote for the Orange Man.

Despite Maeve not exactly being a fan favourite (not as much as Elsie certainly), some of the literary allusions in her story is fantastic! Like this:

Interestingly this is the way I did NOT want Westworld to go down. I remember when Battlestar Galactica went from being a brilliant political/war scifi drama to “Ooh who’s a Cylon today???”

It kind of makes you wonder how writers are going to make thrilling or shocking shows, now that there is a networked army of nerds working to ferret out any conceivable lead or clue in popular TV. Before you had to outwit the individual viewer, now you have to outwit an informal NSA.

Personally, I prefer my robots to tell me how I can make $94 an hour and buy a new BMW in my first month of working.

Counterpoint: Ford is the first host built by Arnold to achieve sentience.

I feel like he sees not voting for him/liking him as disobedience, and that he cannot have. We must all submit to His Greatness. This is exactly the sort of personality we can’t have in a leader.

Weird that if HC orchestrated “millions” of illegal votes, she had them recorded in states where they could do her no good.

In fact, let’s try it all again. I’m sure he’ll still win, given his performance in the last few weeks.

The president elect says there was voter fraud. Better do a nationwide recount.

Is anyone here still hoping for the results to be overturned? I feel like it’s foolish after all that’s happened, but there’s a little seed in me that whispers “maybe”, and I don’t quite know what to do with it.

Maybe you're content to die on this rock, but I'd like to see at least actionable science to get us into the stars before I kick the bucket.

Now imagine what we could do with it if we funneled all of it into the NIH, biosciences, and public health research. We might have become transcendent beings or some shit.
