@mattyglesias Dancing like it’s 1859

@hering_david Let knowledgeable interviewers interview. Ban all audience Q&As. No screening has ever been improved by one.

@roryisconfused The cinema experience has gone from - “would be great to see this in a packed house” to “hope no one else is there” in a decade. BFI held out longer than most, but is lost now for English language films. Art house cinemas on weekday afternoons are the last redoubt.

@TheRickWilson And pretty much the entire congressional GOP.

@alexwickham Deeply unserious.

[Gary Lidington @GMLidington]

@jamesrbuk It really could have been though.

@MI_James57 The GA exit poll and indies in it breaking heavily for Trump.

[Gary Lidington @GMLidington]

@gideonrachman @adamboultonTABB Probably going to end up somewhat narrower than that once all votes counted. Still a lot of uncounted Californian votes out there. Trump may even end up marginally <50%.

@jamesflowerfilm Was absolutely outstanding last night. Enjoy

@admcrlsn Sanchez and the PSOE in Spain is an exception

@lewis_goodall Abortion rights amendment was also rejected in Florida as it didn’t make 60% threshold.

@nrm1972 Yeah, was just saying to a friend earlier, if before 2016 anyone we knew said that there’s a non-zero chance of a second civil war in the US because a game show host refused to accept he’d lost the presidency, you’d have assumed they were drunk or worse and got them a cab home.

@lukemcgee @rolandmcs @TheNewEuropean Nailed on what they are going to do though

[Gary Lidington @GMLidington]

@DAaronovitch Would still make Labour comfortably the largest party in any event, with Tories only winning 229 seats according to Electoral Calculus. The poll results in a Lab minority gov or Lab/LD coalition.

I swear to God the final Wall Street Journal editorial making case for Trump includes this line.

“Mr Trump was too undisciplined, and his attention span too short, to stay on message much less stage a coup.”

Too erratic to coup! Trump 2024!

Here's the Washington Post's front page on January 7, 2021. Four years later, the paper, famous for its tagline "Democracy Dies in Darkness," doesn't want to take a stand on who is fit to be president.

@SwannMarcus89 99.9%

@smellybdrmm @soniccathedral @rideox4 @Moon_Diagrams @PyeCornerAudio @inner_strings Do you know stage times? Nothing on venue website.

[Gary Lidington @GMLidington]

@georgeeaton Big win for Lib Dems though.
