The Harrying of the North

An AI-written film about William's campaign in 1069 through the northern counties of England to quash uprisings in the wake of the conquest. Also, the French knights on this campaign are werewolves.

Friendly reminder that almost half of the states in the U.S. have same day registration! This means you can go to the polling center for your location, register there, and cast your vote same day. So if you are over 18, are a U.S. citizen, and live in one of the states listed below, it is not too late to register and vote! I’m going to put notes for some of the states where voting is extra important due to the political climate of the state. *Please note that every state has its own rules and requirements for same day registration and voting, some are only for early voting, or have very specific ID requirements. Make sure to research your state specifically before showing up to the polls

California

Colorado

Connecticut

D.C.

Hawaii

Idaho

Illinois

Iowa - recent polls indicate state could flip from red to blue

Maine

Like we literally have a sliver of a chance at getting Blue Georgia and Blue North Carolina in this years election and genuinely it feels like people are just willing to throw that out. Hell, even Texas over the past 20 years has had a BIG shift in voting habits.

The last 20 years in Texas ^^^

Georgia ^^^

And fucking NORTH CAROLINA. Look at how close this margin is. This is absolutely batshit insane to me. They are now basically swing states.

Please

WATCH: Protesters in Raleigh dropped off letters at the state legislature Monday denouncing a post-election Republican power grab that seizes powers held by offices that Democrats won in November. Senate Bill 382 was supposed to be a hurricane relief bill for western North Carolina, which was hit hard by Hurricane Helene in September. But it mostly contains attacks on the powers held by offices like the governor, attorney general, and superintendent of public instruction — which were all won by Democrats in November’s election. It also takes oversight of elections away from the governor’s office. Demonstrators during the “Moral Monday” protest in Raleigh likened it to a “coup,” saying that it undermines the will of the voters. Gov.-elect Josh Stein has condemned the bill. So has outgoing Gov. Roy Cooper and former Gov. Pat McCrory — a Republican. Cooper vetoed the bill, but Republican lawmakers in the House are expected to consider overriding the governor’s veto Wednesday in Raleigh. Stay tuned to @cardinalandpine for updates.

Biden-Harris Administration Tries to Gaslight American Public on Poor Handling of Hurricane Helene.

While North Carolina residents impacted by this hurricane suffer, Democrats are more concerned with shifting blame onto the guy who hasn't been calling the shots in the last 4 years instead of getting help to the victims of this natural disaster.

Democrats wasted your tax dollars on funding a war on the other side of the world Democrat wasted your tax dollars giving illegal immigrants necessities they gladly deny you. Democrats wasted your tax dollars on social programs that provided Americans no tangible benefits. Democrats don't fucking care one bit about you outside of your vote and even then, they don't try to earn it if they can fearmonger you over it.

The Biden-Harris Administration is prioritizing sending more weapons to Ukraine over the interests of the people of North Carolina who are suffering and desperately need help right now. But if we dare criticize the Harris-Biden administration, they accuse us of being “dangerous” and spreading “disinformation.” This is a direct attack on free speech, and something that happens in dictatorships, not democratic republics. If we do not hold them accountable in this election, they will continue putting the American people last.

Dorothy Counts made national news in September 1957, when at the age of 15, she became one of the first and, at the time, the only black student to enroll in the newly desegregated Harry Harding High School in Charlotte (North Carolina).

This came nearly three years after the Supreme Court ruled public school segregation unconstitutional in Brown v. Board of Education.

Counts was dropped off on her first day of school by her father, along with their family friend Edwin Thompkins.

As their car was blocked from going closer to the front entrance, Edwin offered to escort Counts to the front of the school while her father parked the car.

As she got out of the car to head down the hill, her father told her, “Hold your head high. You are inferior to no one.”

“Frolic at the Front”

It’s a festive occasion at the Italian front as the guys and gals drag out a portable phonograph and cut a figurative rug on foreign soil. At left, dancing with Lois Berney of Fallon, Nevada, is PFC Clyde Burgess of Toccoa, Georgia. Dancing at right are Mary Ross Moen of Onawa, Iowa, and Pvt. William Maderra of Rayland, Ohio. The girls are Red Cross workers whose job is to boost the morale of Fifth Army men.

Trump probably can't win the presidential election without North Carolina. 🤔💡

It would be difficult though not out of the question for Kamala Harris to win without Pennsylvania. But it would be close to impossible for Donald Trump to win without taking North Carolina.

If Trump loses North Carolina, it could be an early night — and curtains for GOP

Democrats hope that momentum determines the presidential winner and even changes the contours of election night. North Carolina polls close early, at 7:30 p.m. Moreover, state law allows processing of mail-in votes well before Election Day, making an early count possible. (Some states, including Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, cannot start processing until Election Day, which could result in delays of several days before a winner is determined.) Should Harris win North Carolina’s 16 electoral votes, Trump’s chances of victory diminish greatly. He would need a virtual sweep of other battleground states (and likely all of the blue-wall states).

A quick reminder that North Carolina was the state which gave Trump his narrowest victory in 2020. It was won in 2008 by Barack Obama. So we're not exactly talking Tennessee or Idaho here.

An early-evening victory in a state Democrats have not won for 16 years would reverberate through the country, potentially depressing GOP turnout in Western states and diminishing the appetite for stunts to refuse certification of results in states such as Arizona and Georgia (which would not be determinative if Harris holds the blue wall and wins North Carolina).

Republicans are more likely to vote on Election Day than Democrats who have adopted early voting in greater numbers than Republicans. So an early call for Harris-Walz in North Carolina on the night of the election would more likely depress Republican votes in the Western US.

One thing which may negatively affect Trump in the state is the awful Republican candidate for governor of North Carolina.

[T]he North Carolina governor’s race might have a “reverse coattails” effect. The Republican nominee, Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, is an extremist conspiracy nut, a “fount of social media conspiracy theories and vile proclamations about the LGBT community, Jews, and other minority group,” the Daily Beast noted this year. From Holocaust denial to thundering that “some folks need killing” to his support for an abortion ban from “zero weeks,” he symbolizes everything wrong with today’s MAGA Republican Party. Robinson’s Democratic opponent, Josh Stein, the state attorney general, has opened a 10-point lead. If Democrats tie Robinson (a Trump favorite) to Trump, voters might run from both. At the very least, Republicans could suffer a drop in turnout as disgusted North Carolinians simply stay home.

A better than average turnout of Dems in NC would help flip the state. If you live just over the border in deep red South Carolina or Tennessee then consider doing some volunteer work in North Carolina. It could have an impact which extends far beyond the Tar Heel State.

NADJA (1994) dir. Michael Almereyda After the death of Count Dracula, his daughter Nadja and her familiar Renfield arrive in New York to burn it his corpse, hoping this ritual will free her from her own vampiric curse, but then Nadja gets sidetracked when she meets a lost soul in a bar. Lucy is not a vampire, but she too is suffering from ennui – bored by her life and her relationship with husband Jim. Meanwhile, Jim is bailing his uncle, Van Helsing, out of jail: after learning of the disappearance of the Count's corpse, he enlists his nephew in his quest to destroy any trace of any vampire still left in the city. As the plot develops, Nadja visits her sickly brother, Edgar, who’s being looked after by a nurse called Cassandra. Van Helsing and Jim’s quest to seek out Dracula’s descendants also leads them to Edgar, bringing the two halves of the story together... (link in title)
