Against all odds, the staples held through the election, but now I think the time has come to finally retire my tie

I still haven't watched Tiger King... there I said it.

Growing up, there was this unspoken rule in our house that if Sean Connery was in it, we watched it. He may as well have been an honorary member of the Criss family. I’d like to think my Dad is in the front of the line somewhere upstairs ready with a thank you and a warm welcome.

Yesterday I voted for the first time in an American Presidential election. I shit you not, it was among the most exciting things I’ve ever done. I’m optimistic about the future. I’m excited to be a part of this process. @WhenWeAllVote

Gee, what a surprise:
Fox News says Pence won.
MSNBC says Harris won.
Twitter says the fly.

Nineteen years ago this morning, I sat in geometry class and watched our nation fall under attack. I’ll never shake the shock of that moment, but it’s the bravery of the heroes and resiliency of survivors that sticks with me the most. #NeverForget

Trump is 5 minutes into trying to explain away the Atlantic story, claiming that it was impossible for him to drive through Paris to get to the cemetery, apparently unaware that other world leaders ...drove through Paris to get to the cemetery.

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

Trump yesterday: "We had the worst weather--I think it was as bad a rain as I've just about ever seen. And it was a fog..."

Every other world leader made it there--to a commemoration at an American cemetery honoring U.S. soldiers and Marines who died in a famous American battle.

Admiral McRaven is right. America’s most essential Americans are under attack from this president, and the whole country will be weakened if he succeeds. https://t.co/31kDGKA2Ub

People are dying yet Biden opposes Medicare for All. The earth is dying yet Biden opposes a Green New Deal. Just being against Trump is not enough. This moment demands revolutionary change and corporate Democrats are still peddling the same old neoliberal incrementalist bullshit.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

Picture waking up that first day the sun rises when Donald Trump is no longer president—and @JoeBiden is in the White House.

Let's work to make that happen.

Shame on every centrist who just wants to return to normal.

Normal means 87 million are underinsured or uninsured.

Normal means the Black-white wealth gap hasn’t changed since 1968.

Normal means more war, more inequality & more injustice.

Fuck normal.

WE NEED A BETTER WORLD!

Covid Journal: Day 19 and I can’t tell if I’m tasting this coffee or imagining it.

Pulse still kicking up w/minimal movement, but all other symptoms seem to have dissipated.

Crashed early last night, but slept well. Odd feeling to listen to the body instead of pressing thru.
