Morning-after thermonuclear beat downs from my race from the debate and polling geniuses like 538 predicted l’d lose by 2.

And what happened?

The only seat to flip and won by a historic margin (+5).

Chill the fuck out.

So my friend called me this morning to talk about something that happened to her last night. She’s been trying to find someone to date…extremely casually. She doesn’t have time for a full blown relationship and basically all she wants is a nice man to have sex with.

@dmkarp Really enjoyed it! Looking forward to more.

I created a Google Calendar event in the year 7777 CE, but the start time in the confirmation email is off by an hour from the one in the calendar. I love imagining the heavy sigh from whoever handles this bug report.

@OpenandMarried I allow my teenage children to sleep with whomever they want. They are smart enough to handle their lives.

@_LorenzoVicente @DeniTechh Euphonium!!! That's awesome. I play that a little, but mostly tuba.

[Francis Upton IV @francisu]

@DeniTechh I play the tuba. More than a hobby though. Sometimes people pay me to do it. I have never been offered pay not to do it, so that's something.

[Francis Upton IV @francisu]

@10CentWords @mgroppe I looked through your tweets and you don't seem to be either a Russian bot or a maga person. So I'm confused about the vitriol about this innocuous tweet. Could you elaborate as to why you find it offensive?

[Francis Upton IV @francisu]

This is the best.
