But here, that's what the Senate is for! I literally preferenced 394 people last state senate election!

If he gets the 2nd or 3rd highest number of first round votes and holds Abbott at 40-45% of first preferences, he could possibly win.

If it helps, I so far have 5 options: Liberal, Labor, Greens, Christian Party and the Socialists. There was a great independent that ran in the by-election and I am just hoping he runs, because I'd prefer to vote for someone as opposed to ranking people on a scale of least-objectionable.

Season 7 of Parks and Recreation is the most I've ever really enjoyed the show - would have to rewatch season 3, but damn that was a fantastic final season. Favourite callback: the custodian that always listens to Man! I Feel Like A Woman.

Risk! Chatroom! Conquer Time!

We're complaining about what has effectively been a 75-day election campaign, up from 33-35 days.

We could have 5 normal sized elections and at least 2 of our very long election that we're getting this year before the US election! Hell, our election was called before anyone mathematically won the primaries and will be over before the conventions.

I was explaining the election to a friend today, which made me realise how much I am dreading the next few months. The tweets have been awesome, don't get me wrong, but November's looking further and further away.

So Risk! Tomorrow! 7.30pm Eastern! Be there to conquer!

1. Citizen Kane. That's my entire knowledge of 1940's films.
2. Popstar.
3. Anytime where anyone is yelling at each other or losing control, like after Susan leaves Kane. My exception is the Ruffalo voiceover in Spotlight after he gets the unsealed documents and is reading them in the car and the visual is the city of…

Absolutely beautiful tweet to start off the day.

Exactly!

Ok just looking over maps because yay insomnia, and these are the 4 that we haven't - to my knowledge - played and look interesting. I'd be game for Africa, but man, it's very complicated:

To be fair, that's just me playing Europe Massive and Rivals of Rome over and over again.

I'm thinking the earliest possible time that people can make it so we can get as much of the game done in one sitting as we can.

Yay! Any board preferences?

Would anyone be up for a game of Risk this Friday evening?

Some illustrators got together and drew all the songs from Hamilton and the result is absolutely beautiful:
