Every word you read just makes it all worse.
For those waking up in US, bewildered in Europe, what happened?
Have been on air for last 12 hours pouring over the data
Here it is
There's no silver lining for Democrats. Trump won everywhere. He's going to win the popular vote. He did better across the demographics. He grew his coalition, better with black voters, Latinos, young voters. The US become less racially divided by party. Harris underperformed Biden virtually everywhere.
Trump improved on his 2020 margin in 2,367 counties. His margin decreased in only 240 counties.
A lot of people understandably leaving this website today, but I'm kind of enjoying the post-apocalyptic support group vibe. Obviously it won't stand when the rest of America wakes up, but it's nice for now.
When I snoozed my alarm this morning, I had a dream that a wasp stung me in the eye.

Absolutely no idea how I felt about #Conclave. Certainly takes some odd swings in that final act! – at Leighton Buzzard, England

This is a sobering read about the current chaos involving Google and its various attempts to prioritise "helpful content" on its results pages. Small online publishers are being destroyed, making the internet much, much worse.
"On September 28th, 2023, something happened to our website, Ready Steady Cut. I knew what had happened was unprecedented, but I did not realize then that I was involved in an extinction event for small businesses and web publishers by Google."

Snapped a pic with my best mate at this morning's #PaddingtonInPeru screening! 🐻🥪 – at Watford, East
I had a lot of time for #AgathaAllAlong, but it ultimately fell victim to some of Marvel's worst impulses.

About to see The Apprentice, which means my choice of Halloween film is way scarier than yours! 🎃 #NowWatching
Huge thanks to @mubiuk for this lovely pack of goodies to celebrate one of the best movies of the year... though I was a bit scared to open the box.
The Substance is streaming on Mubi right now. It's an unforgettable ride! #TryTheSubstance
