These posts may become shorter now that the voting, if not the counting, has finished, but I think there are going to be plenty of videos to find and share. There are a lot of creative people out there.

The special election for the other Senate seat in Georgia will be January 5. Normally I don’t ask anyone to give in these situations because I can’t. This time I did. So i’m asking anyone who can to make a donation for our last chance to get the Senate.

Get ready Georgia. The negative ads against us are coming.

But that won’t stop us from fighting for a better future for Georgians and focusing on the issues that matter. pic.twitter.com/VN0YIA02MG

Beau on getting the message out. He mentions Ed Trevors. I’d add John Pavlovitz. And there are many others.

Keith doesn’t look to be going away any time soon. After all, we have a transition to get through.

I am putting up two links to analyses which are too long for this venue. Some of the short ones are serious, some are intended to lighten us up a little. I am posting early so as not to delat the petitions, but if (as I expect) Keith posts around 3 pm, I will edit to add him.

The Biden Campaign has a couple of half-hour videos up on what they are doing to protect the election.

The Lincoln Project is (or was) having a live Zoom event answering questions. If it’s over, it will still be up.

Now This News

Trae on Civil War Two-y

PACRONYM – Orange Faced Prison Blues

If you have been blessed to see this show in a theater, you don’t need this video. But – if not –

This Beau cast was posted 11/2, but I held it till after the election because it’s more important for what I hope will be the Reconstruction. Specifically reorganizing police departments. (And it also speak highly of at least some high school journalism students.)

Update – Yes, Keith has posted.

And you knew “Count the Vote” petitions were going to come along, right?

It’s a busy day here in the CatBox. Yesterday, I felt so wiped out that I went back to bed right after my shower. WWWendy woke me up to feed me a small lunch, and I slept until suppertime. Today, Diana came to change my patch, because WWWendy is on the coast. Oh God, it’s Monday! God Help America!

Jig Zone Puzzle:

Today’s took me 5:20 (average 8:37). To do it, click here. How did you do?

Cartoon:

May Joe have a similar smile this week

Trump* Virus Map:

US Cases: 9,480,665
US Deaths: 236,519
Plus all the Trump*/GOP plague murders Republicans are hiding

Religious Ecstasy:

Oh what a magnificent ORB!

Short Takes:

From Crooks and Liars: In Austin, a Trump caravan of trucks filled with armed neo-Nazis surrounded the Biden bus and nearly drove a campaign staffer into an accident.

According to Alternet, Trump* said these criminals did nothing wrong. Once again, I urge you to avoid Ammosexual Nazi Republicans at all costs, with one exception. Do NOT let these terrorists prevent you from casting your vote! RESIST!!

From YouTube (NBC News Channel): Biden Holds ’Souls To The Polls’ Event In Pennsylvania

While Democrats hold “souls to the polls” events, Republicans hold comparable events of their own: “assholes to the polls”. Go! Joe! Go! RESIST!!

From YouTube (a blast from the past): The Beatles – Help!

Ah… the memories! On election eve, we need all the help we can get! RESIST!!

Biden campaign – almost 5 minutes, bilingual (CC both languages), could help with Latinx voters.

Win American Back PAC – the name is ungrammatical, but the ad is amusing.

Keith (in case you missed it yesterday, he was out Wednesday taking a CoViD test, which turned out negative, thank God.)

PHP is a programming language used to build websites. We have it at all through our hosting partner, BlueHost. In order to update it, we have to go through Bluehost. During his life, TomCat was the only one who had access to our account there. I (JD) am now the only one. I have been to BlueHost and investigated updating our PHP to 8.3 or even to 8.1. I found instructions to do so - in fact, I found two conflicting sets of instructions. I went through one set of the steps and got the message that Our site could not handle 8.3, but that it had successfully updated to 8.1. I then went back here to see what it looked like. But I couldn't get in - either as an administrator or as a reader. It was just gone. I had to reach BlueHost by phone. It was determined that Politics Plus is in fact not compatible with any version of PHP newer than the one we have. BlueHost therefore uninstalled it for me, and the site came back to normal. Of course, like everyone else, I care about security. But I also am aware that TomCat elected to use different providers for several of the services that BlueHost provides, for instance backups. We are backed up daily - but not by BlueHost. However, out PHP is through Bluehost. I feel that if they are not worried about the older version, I am not going to worry about it. I believe that our security here is all or mostly through WordFence, whom I trust.
