#plurality of idiots

[readandwriteclub]

*just enough.

#tipping point

Hierarchy of voting dirty tricks

#changing voter hearts and minds (like having a debate) gives biggest result

#voter intimidation ftw followed by confusing voters and misinformation campaigns for coercive voting including elder abuse taking your parents' ballots etc

#voter suppression, actual voter suppression of opposition

#intercept mail-in and absentee ballots

#viola ts as if they didn't vote

#if all else fails then voter fraud stuffing suitcases of ballots for Trump playbook

#then work on fraud as described in Trump's perfect call to Governor of Georgia

#appears USA has a plurality of idiots tho. If you can't change people's minds (see #1.) use 8 years of social engineering to make people stupider and hell put lead in the water if you have to.

I haven’t really seen any of the more recent U.S. election news hitting tumblr yet so here’s some updates (now edited with sources added):

There’s evidence of Trump cheating and interfering with the election.

Possible Russian interference.

Mail-in ballots are not being counted or “recognized” in multiple (notably swing) states.

30+ bomb threats were called in and shut down polling stations on Election Day.

20+ million votes are still unaccounted for, and that’s just to have the same voter turnout as 2020.

There was record voter turnout and new/first-time voter registration this year. We definitely should be well over the turnout in 2020.

U.S. citizens are using this site to demand, not only a recount, but a complete investigation into election fraud and interference for the reasons stated above:

Here is what I submitted as an example:

An investigation for election interference and fraud is required. We desperately need a recount or even a revote. The American people deserve the right to a free and fair election. There has been evidence unveiled of Trump cheating and committing election fraud which is illegal. There is some evidence of possible Russian interference. At least 30+ bomb threats were called in to polling places. Multiple, notably swing states, have ballots unaccounted for and voting machines not registering votes. Ballots and ballot boxes were tampered with and burned. Over 20 million votes that we know of are unaccounted for. With record turnout and new voter registration this year, there should be no possibility that there are less votes than even in the 2020 election.

Sources (working on finding more links but if anyone wants to add info, it’s appreciated):

FBI addressing Russian interference and bomb threats:

Emails released by Rachael Bellis (private account, can’t share original tweet) confirming Trump committing election fraud:

Pennsylvania's Centre County officials say they are working with their ballot scanner vendor to figure out why the county's mail-in ballot data is "not being recognized when uploaded to the elections software:”

Wisconsin recount:

Multiple screenshots and images.

The first is a screenshot with a link and information for contacting the White House directly regarding election fraud. The instructions include choosing to leave a comment to President Joe Biden directly and to select election security as the reason.

The screenshot then instructs people to include any or all of the following information in a paragraph as a comment to the president:

32 fake bomb threats were called into Democratic leaning poll places, rendering polling places closed for at least an hour.

A lot of people reporting their ballots were not counted for various reasons.

This all occurred in swing states.

This is too coincidental that these things happen and swing in his favor after months of hinting at foul play.

Directly state that an investigation for tampering, interference, fraud is required, not just a recount.

The second image is from the FBI Twitter account that reads:

The FBI is aware of bomb threats to polling locations in several states, many of which appear to originate from Russian email domains. None of the threats have been determined to be credible thus far. https://t.co/j3YfajVK1m — FBI (@FBI) November 5, 2024

The next four Gmail screenshots of an email sent to Rachael Bellis from Chris T. Spackman that read together as follows:

Dear BELLIS, RACHAEL E., The Dauphin County Board of Elections received a challenge to your absentee ballot you applied for in the November 5, 2024 General Election. The challenge argues that a provision of the Pennsylvania Election Code takes precedence over the federal Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA), which requires states and counties to permit U.S. citizens who move overseas to vote by absentee ballot for federal offices based on their last U.S. residential address.

The full text of the challenge that was filed appears below this email.

You may respond to the challenge in any of the following ways:

1. Call the Bureau of Registration and Election at (717) 780-6360;

2. Email a statement to the Bureau at Election election@dauphincounty.gov. Any statement you submit regarding the period during which you lived in Dauphin County, any family or connections that you still have here, and why you are now residing abroad would be read into the record.

3. Appear in person at a Board of Elections hearing scheduled for Friday, November 8 at a time to be determined in the Commissioners Public Hearing Room, 4th floor of Dauphin County Administration Building, 2 S 20d St, Harrisburg, PA 17111. The meeting is also likely to be livestreamed on Facebook on the Dauphin County channel.

Sincerely,

Christopher T Spackman

TEXT OF CHALLENGE BEGINS

Dear Dauphin County Board of Elections,

I am submitting this challenge to an absentee ballot application pursuant to 25 Pa. Stat.

3146.8(f).

25 Pa. Stat. 3146.8(f) Any person challenging an application for an absentee ballot, an absentee ballot, an application for a mail-in ballot or a mail-in ballot for any of the reasons provided in this act shall deposit the sum of ten dollars ($10.00) in cash with the county board, which sum shall only be refunded if the challenge is sustained or if the challenge is withdrawn within five (5) days after the primary or election. If the challenge is dismissed by any lawful order then the deposit shall be forfeited. The county board shall deposit all deposit money in the general fund of the…

The rest of the forwarded email is cut off.

The last image is a screenshot of the official statement from the Centre County, Pennsylvania Board of Commissioners released on November 6, 2024 that states:

Centre County Working with Ballot Scanner Vendor to Export Election Results.

(Bellefonte, PA) -Centre County Elections Office is working continuously to provide mail-in ballot data in order to post unofficial results.

To this point, all ballots have been scanned, including all mail-in ballots.

Centre County's Election team and IT team have identified that the data are successfully being exported from the mail-in ballot scanners, but that the data is not being recognized when uploaded to the elections software.

Centre County's Administrator, John Franek, Jr. stated, "We have not stopped working, and we will continue to work until unofficial results are posted and reported to the Pennsylvania Department of State."

As a next step, Centre County has begun working with the equipment vendor to adjust configurations to make the two systems-the mail-in ballot scanner and the elections software where data are uploaded -compatible with one another.

We will provide updates as we make progress.

what success are you talking about? if it’s the sold out gigs that’s thanks to fans not his team, same with his number 1 album. what success does his big and almighty team bring to the table?

okay I’m taking the bait here.. but sweetie, you cannot be this fucking dense

who do think planned the entire album campaign, was it fans? every interview, every tv appearance, radio, press? the release schedule, production and distrubution, the entire marketing plan with billboards, video content, social media, advertising? who planned louis’ and his band and crew’s travel, hotels, meals to every place the did promo..? did fans do that?

did fans book the tours? figure out the locations, the schedule, the venue sizes, the travel, visas, permits? who booked the hotels, the tour buses, the transport of an enourmous production, instruments and gear, crew, catering? and everything that happened in between album and tours, like the AOTV release and premieres, the live stream events, the promo trip to latam, the live album campaign, FEQW and AFHF? who booked all the festivals? fans did that??

wtf do you even think an artist's management does? that they're just there for the parties? for the love of f… go read this article, this article and every article on this site too until you understand in your tiny brain the unbelievable amount of work and people it takes to plan and execute the business that is louis tomlinson - and any other artist of that size. and stop coming at me with this nonsense lmao

but honestly I kinda hope you're some troll because otherwise.. 🤯

More Salem ( @wolfertinger666 ) fanart, this time in the Gentlemen style!

Wondering if Missa would’ve fallen in love with Phil if both weren’t Chayanne’s parents…

I mean, even though Missa does make some remarkable comments about Phil’s physic, we know his looks are just a plus for him. What Missa really fall in love with was the kind guy who helped him with his gear, the one who happily takes care of the children, the one who’s thoughtful enough to notice the reason as to why he was living in the basement, and the one who secretly listens to his words in Spanish but keeps it safe in his heart.

So, I really have to wonder, is this the only timeline where it was possible for Missa to fall for Phil? Would they’ve still met each other, even if there wasn’t an egg in the middle? Would they’ve still have time to get to know each other? And if this wasn’t possible, would Missa just, like, have his little crush with Quackity until now?  

Would Phil make more casual flirting with Missa like with Fit and Etoiles if this was the case? What about the secret photos? The one’s where Missa barely recognizes there’s a fucking camera in front of him and Phil looks at him so endearing? Or the kisses? Or the straight up possessiveness?

Platonic or not– Is this really the only chance they have to be together? Did all the starts magically aligned for these two constipated idiots?

[pluralhottakes]

Let's be honest- anti endos have done far more damage than pro endos have done. As an UDD system, we get a lot of crap because it's not a "final diagnosis". Because of antis, we keep looking for validation from other systems to exist. We have npd, and the way some people go on about our dire need of acceptance has got us to crash. Its horrible

"Has anyone seen Beef?" Grian asks, sprinting over, face a perfect mask of concern. "He's supposed to be here by now." 

Iskall looks up from where she's fiddling with a hinge to squint at him. It's 9am. First day of Hermitcraft Season 10 and the sun still hasn't hit the peak of the sky. It's been an hour since the world hummed into existence, all fresh dirt and generating stone and trees growing in a snap like they'd been here forever, and Beef is late. Beef is never late. That's the rule: when the new season starts, you're there. 

Iskall is there, even though he kind of wishes he's not. Her head's weirdly foggy and his vision keeps drifting in and out of focus, but hey, that makes sense, right? He's been sick for three days. Everything gets gummed up when you're sick. 

Amongst the crowd of unusually antsy Hermits, someone yells Grian's name and he runs back off with a muttered apology, wings barely a bump on his back this early on. 

--

The rest of Day 1 goes normally enough. 

Grian runs the intro as smoothly and professionally as always and everyone runs off to get their gear. Doc and Cub have a villager trading hall set up in four hours. Ren organizes a caving session. Iskall is assigned to a group with him, Mumbo, and Stress. On the surface, it's a perfectly normal first day of the season, with the chaos and confusion and absolute lunacy that comes trotting naturally alongside 26 hermits being in one place. There's two new people here, after all, and they must be introduced properly, says Grian, grinning devilishly. 

Still, no matter how many times Iskall blows his nose, the fog stays stubbornly stuck in her brain. And no matter how low the sun dips towards the meeting point of earth and sky, a little blazing ball of Atlas to paint the sky a thousand shades of night, Beef does not log on. Everyone tries to ignore it. Most people succeed. 

Iskall goes to bed that night tired but happy, brain whirling at a million miles per hour, adrenaline fading and leaving his limbs to ache with the full force of the workout they were just given. As she drifts off to sleep, he chuckles. He can almost hear Beef grumbling about missing out on the first day already.

We are in the last stretch of Heartsong. Developments are happening, bonds are being reforged. Emotions are emoting.

Thanks Gordo, I obviously needed feelings today.

It's been a fair few days. Between work and Link's Awakening (and a healthy desire to keep my emotions locked away like a Pixar protagonist), I have neglected the thing. But with a lovely copy of Brothersong within arm's reach, I have no excuse but to conclude the thing, so conclude we must!

What I want to flash on right now are the developments that have transpired since I read last: Shannon Wells is back, yay! Well, not really. This was actually kind of upsetting. But it was the necessary catalyst for Elizabeth to take matters into her own hands, and rather actively declare war.

Carter, my sweet, beautiful idiot. This wolf has all but declared his undying love for you. Figure out your shit!

Okay, so there's a game which I will never admit to anyone I know IRL that I've played called Boyfriend Dungeon. There's an asexual pairing that's literally just a cat who can transform into a pair of brass knuckles; there's nothing even remotely romantic or sexualized about it. That's Carter and this damn wolf.

Who am I kidding? There will be some mystical moon magic which allows the Timber wolf to shift back, and then Carter will be in for the drama of his life. Will Gordo make a good brother? Who can say, certainly not I.

I seem to be talking about this one thing more than the other stuff going on, but I would like to acknowledge that, despite not mentioning it in any of my previous posts, I knew damn well what this reveal would reveal. Let's look at the evidence: the Wolf shows up out of nowhere accompanying the hunters in Ravensong and is clearly a werewolf who's stuck in his shift. At the end of Ravensong, Livingstone mentions his other son and wanting him back. It's clear that Robbie isn't the Son, so it's either someone we haven't seen before, or someone we have who either doesn't know it, or can't say it. The dominoes fall so neatly into place!

What is it about Kelly and haircuts? Does he have some sort of incredible haircut magic or something? Both on-page depictions of him giving someone a haircut (here, with Robbie, and in Ravensong with Gordo) have apparently been emotionally transcendent experiences.

So, in less than a hundred pages (and, I guess technically, a final book) we have a war to wage. Onward, I say! Forth Heortesang! Ere the Sun Rises!

Takes a long, exasperated, sigh

WAS NO ONE GOING TO TELL US INSIDE MARI'S MC JUST HAD D.I.D.??? THAT BITCH WAS AN INTROJECT ALTER THIS WHOLE TIME???

[sneggley]

Does anyone else's cat not understand the concept of peeing outside

I let my cat outside, and if we're outside for long enough, every time she comes back in she immediately sprints down the stairs and takes a piss, her name is Snegl and she's turning a year and one month old tomorrow.

(For clarification I monitor her every time because she doesn't run when I come to take her inside)

Meanwhile my other cat Spott, that's like 10 years old, goes outside specifically to piss and or shit. She will scream at me until I let her out, she will further scream and hiss at me if I pet her in front of the backdoor while still having happy body language??

Then she'll roll around in the dirt where she once pissed, or shit. And she completely misses sometimes when burying said shit. Motherfucker gave me pinworms.

Coʊst (pronounced "coast"; phonetically combines "core" and "host") Can be text-simplified to "coust".

An alter who is a host, but doesn't fully identify with the term "host" due to complexities of having the original's memories and a strong connection to the original's/the body's history, without being the original or a core.

We couldn't find a pre-existing term, so we made one ourselves to describe Ace. If there's a term that already exists, please do let us know.

The flag is based on/inspired by/takes elements of the core flag (https://pluralpedia.org/w/Core) and host flag (https://pluralpedia.org/w/Host).

Anyone is allowed to use this, just don't involve us in syscourse. If you "have" to know, we are a traumagenic DID system, but again, ANYONE can use our term. Just, you know, credit us.

Edit : By "anyone" we mean any origin/diagnosis status/plurality type/syscourse side/ect
