There are a few editor endorsements and whatever the opposite of endorsements is, along with a variety of links to various resources to help you figure out the whens, wheres and whos of everything.

If you’re living somewhere that has one, I hope that you’re planning to vote in your upcoming municipal elections. Here in Ontario, they’re on October 26th. If you want to vote but aren’t sure who to vote for, I don’t blame you. Municipal politics is hard. Provincially and federally it’s generally pretty clear what the …
So here we are, the day before another election and I’m finally writing one of these posts. I usually try to write it before the advance polls, but the advance polls were mostly across Easter weekend and I was gone for Easter.

Might as well go ahead and post the election reactions from Colbert and Kimmel while I’m at this. Everyone did a fine job of being realistic and funny in the face of all this shit. No one tells the guy who cleans the bathrooms that they must be happy about the explosive diarrhea. It gives …
Another good election reaction video, this one from the Daily Show. The question that really needs asking isn’t why Harris lost, it’s why Trump won. And a related one that I’ve been thinking about. What, to a 2024 Trump voter, would have been too far? I have my political preferences and dislikes just as anyone …
Here’s Seth Meyers reacting to Trump winning. It’s funny as you’d expect, but there are also a few important reminders. In particular, that history isn’t a straight line. George W. Bush won twice.
