Lockdown Update Day 237

I don't have the energy to curate this, so below the cut there will be a mishmash of random stuff... Yay for hope! (US-centric, obvs. This country is still depressing.)

Outside the cut a perfect illustration of the CHANGE.

And speaking of Star Wars:

Nice summary that ends on a UK-centric note: Bi Den

The sheer RELIEF that we might actually be able to save the planet??

Today, the Trump Administration officially left the Paris Climate Agreement. And in exactly 77 days, a Biden Administration will rejoin it. https://t.co/L8UJimS6v2

IF YOU ARE CELEBRATING AND YOU WANT TO KEEP THE PARTY GOING, consider donating to @ossoff and @ReverendWarnock whose victories will be decided by a runoff that could flip the Senate blue in January!!! The Senate would be a GAME-CHANGER. 💙💙💙

Something is odd about this. Looks like a group of subject matter experts. Where are Biden's relatives? How are they supposed to lead the country like this? https://t.co/RcMbgAtDbO

The Navajo Nation flipped AZ. They cast 76K votes, at 97% for Biden. He is currently ahead by 16,985 votes. Some of them spent 2 hours on horseback getting to the polls.

And unlike Never Trump Republicans, they supported down-ballot Dems and helped us with the Senate.

Same here. And did you see this? (from the US Guardian)

[sea_thoughts]

I didn't but that's the level of competency I expect from this government. 'Shapeshifting creep' indeed!

[elisi]

I was especially taken with 'Biden’s memorable description of Johnson as the “physical and emotional clone of Donald Trump”.' >:)

[sea_thoughts]

Except Johnson's having to be nice to him, oh the agony. XD

I'm remembering all those memes from the Obama years with Joe as the joker and Obama as the straight man...

Like this one. Oh or this one:



And there's a whole collection here.
