In each state you only need >50% of the votes to win all the electoral points for that state. Once you have 50% of the votes in a state, additional votes within that state are essentially worthless. In Hillary's case her supporters were heavily clustered in a handful of states. She won California by a landslide, for example, but then went on to lose in a bunch of other states by narrow margins. If her supporters had been spread out among more states she would have easily won the overall election.

I'm considering getting some cheap USB-powered lights on eBay to wrap my frame for Christmas and New Year's. I'll run them off of a phone power bank. Will definitely post pictures if I do it.

Something like this:

That is my understanding. And I assume the dot patterns are made by printers worldwide. The article mentions Dutch law enforcement using them, and German researchers studying them.

It's also great excuse to drink while wallowing in dread. I have a bottle of gin set aside for the occasion.

This comic inspired a different post on that exact topic.

This is an update to a previous post: https://sh.itjust.works/post/26389783

The spam wave has slowed down significantly, so we have unblocked almost all of the Misskey and Mastodon instances that were being used to relay the spam posts. Six instances are going to stay on our block list for now:

  • kitsui.life
  • lawsocial.org
  • m.corduba.tech
  • puls.social
  • seda.social
  • startrekshitposting.com

It is interesting to note that these six instances are also considered abandoned by IFTAS, and have been added to the IFTAS DNI list.
https://mastodon.iftas.org/@sw_isac/113317470469259706

Since we're adjusting our instance blocks, we have taken this opportunity to update the sh.itjust.works Censures list in Fediseer to match our current block list.

That is all. Have a good day, everyone!

Edit: transforthe.win is also now on our block list. Spam posts are still coming from that instance.
