Monday Open Thread

by Carl Ballard — Monday, 11/7/22, 8:24 am

Vote you jerks. Get your ballot postmarked or dropped off by tomorrow (Tuesday). Please vote for the Democrat in all the races against Republicans. And there are good resources statewide if you’re still unsure. You can also probably still volunteer with your favorite candidate. Tell your friends to vote. It’s crunch time. Let’s do this.

And hey, wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

    Shared power curbs the worst excesses of both parties, therefore I recommend voting for a Republican Congress, given that the Presidency is Democratic.

    But then Steve will have nothing to talk about.

    On Sunday, Hilary Rosen, a longtime Democratic strategist, predicted on CNN’s “State of the Union” that her party will have a bad night on Tuesday because they did not listen to voters.

    “I’m a loyal Democrat, but I am not happy. I just think we did not listen to voters in this election, and I think we are going to have a bad night,” she said.

    She faulted the Democratic Party for ignoring voters’ concerns about the economy, and implored them to “stop talking about democracy being at stake.”

    “When voters tell you over and over and over again that they care mostly about the economy, listen to them,” she said. “Stop talking about democracy being at stake. Democracy is at stake because people are fighting so much about what elections mean. Voters have told us what they wanted to hear. I don’t think Democrats have delivered this cycle.”

    She didn’t mention it but, Jesus H, STFU about abortion, too. Women who are starving because they can’t afford food are amenorrheic, and won’t get pregnant even if they can gin up the energy to fuck.

    This you, Dean?

    Los Angeles County prosecutors have accused the chief executive of a small Michigan software company of compromising the personal information of hundreds of county elections employees.

    Eugene Yu, 51, was arrested early Tuesday just outside Lansing, Mich., after prosecutors alleged he improperly stored the information on servers in China, according to Los Angeles County Dist. Atty. George Gascón. Yu, who is the chief executive officer of a company named Konnech, is expected to be extradited to Los Angeles in the coming days, Gascón said.

    Los Angeles County awarded Konnech a contract in 2020 to store employee payroll and scheduling data using its PollChief software, according to Gascón. Under the five-year contract valued at nearly $3 million, Konnech was not supposed to store information outside the U.S., Gascón said.
    …
    In a statement, L.A. County Registrar Dean Logan said he did not learn of the the district attorney’s office’s actions until this morning. A spokesman for the registrar did not respond to questions about the county’s contract with Konnech or a request for a copy of the agreement.

    Yeah, motherfucker, he’s talking about you.

    Michigan governor cites audio difficulty during live TV interview

    Citing a technical difficulty, Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer on Monday bailed on a live television interview immediately after the host asked a question about the Democrat’s pandemic record.

    “Do you have any regrets,” the Fox 2 Detroit anchor asked Whitmer, who in response stared blankly into the camera. The governor then asked someone off-camera if she botched the audio by moving her AirPod, to which the person replied, “It’s okay.”

    Most Election Deniers Are Favored To Win Their Midterm Races

    One-hundred and eight-five Republicans running for House, Senate and governor seats in this year’s midterm elections have denied the legitimacy of the 2020 election. According to FiveThirtyEight’s forecast, more than half of them have at least a 95-in-100 chance of winning their races.

    About half of Republican voters now describe themselves as “Christian Nationalists”. About 80% of these voters say they regard being a Christian and believing in the divinity of Christ as an integrally important part of being a true American. About 70% say they believe the federal government should pass laws making the United States a Christian nation formally recognizing Christianity as the official religion of the United States.

    In the last 24 hours Twitter mods began issuing permanent suspensions to parody accounts mocking Elon Musk that included the magic word “parody” in the Twitter handle, including one account named “ParodyElonMusk”.

    So now even Elon’s mildest critics are banned from his platform.
    Which is entirely his choice to make as the owner of the platform.
    But it does raise very reasonable concerns among users and advertisers about the utility and value of his platform going forward. And maybe that’s why most of his advertiser dollars, content creators, and many passive users are now fleeing.

    But I’m sure it feels more comforting for Elon to believe that he is being persecuted.

    Elijah Dominic McDotcom spews:

    For reference purposes:

    https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1518623997054918657
    “I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter, because that is what free speech means”

    and,

    https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1519036983137509376
    “By “free speech”, I simply mean that which matches the law.

    I am against censorship that goes far beyond the law.

    If people want less free speech, they will ask government to pass laws to that effect.

    Therefore, going beyond the law is contrary to the will of the people.”

    But not apparently contrary to the will of the billionaire crybaby.
    And to be perfectly clear, parody is not only protected expression within the United States, but there has never existed any legal, constitutional requirement that it must be identified as such. The Framers were not nearly as concerned about stupid, gullible people as Elon Musk. But then again, The Framers were not emotionally dependent upon the stupidity and gullibility of 50 million 13-year-olds.
