The Witch Farm on @BBCSounds is *actually* terrifying. Listening to episode 2 in a cabin in Wales, outside darknesse visible and the lamentings of owls, was probably not a great idea.

On @OutFrontCNN, @fpleitgenCNN reports Russian soldiers say their training “was just for TV (propaganda).” This only reinforces what I observed (& reported) every time I saw Russian “training”: it’s all for show. It is why they aren’t very good. – at Flagler Beach, FL

It takes Pennsylvania a long time to count votes because the Republican state legislature will not allow early votes to be counted or even pre-canvassed until Election Day. Then right wingers use that legislature-required delay as evidence of something nefarious. It's ridiculous.

Pennsylvania election results could take 'days,' secretary of the commonwealth says

Ballots cannot be opened until 7 a.m. on Election Day, unlike other states that “pre-canvass” mail-in ballots.

Yes, read this. Hand-counts are an attempt by MAGA forces to slow the electoral process, sow doubt where none should exist, and create chaos. For MAGA forces, "chaos is not a pit; chaos is a ladder."

Andrews is not a public figure, so all he has to prove is that the statements D'Souza, et. al. made about him were false and defamatory. That will be an easy bar to clear. He should not settle this lawsuit. He should make sure D'Souza gets his day in court, as Alex Jones did.

2000 Mules shows a video of Andrews dropping off a small number of ballots at a drop box, with D'Souza's voiceover saying "What you are seeing is a crime. These are fraudulent votes." But Andrews was dropping off his family's ballots, which is obviously totally legal in GA.
