  • There was an episode of Bojack Horseman titled Thoughts and Prayers in which during a rise in mass gun violence, the Government is debating gun control. It doesn’t appear to be going anywhere until (following some sub-plotlines) there’s a huge surge in women owning handguns for self-protection and empowerment. The govt then pretty quickly moves to ban all guns.

    Quote from the summary: “A senator asks what his constituents are supposed to do, not compliment random women on the street? and says they can’t live with that kind of fear.” and “Diane then says she can’t believe this country hates women more than it loves guns.”

  • Florida needed 60% yes to pass, higher than any previous measure got.

    And they got some absolutely fucked description on the ballot (and past a lawsuit)

    The proposed amendment would result in significantly more abortions and fewer live births per year in Florida. The increase in abortions could be even greater if the amendment invalidates laws requiring parental consent before minors undergo abortions and those ensuring only licensed physicians perform abortions. There is also uncertainty about whether the amendment will require the state to subsidize abortions with public funds. Litigation to resolve those and other uncertainties will result in additional costs to the state government and state courts that will negatively impact the state budget. An increase in abortions may negatively affect the growth of state and local revenues over time. Because the fiscal impact of increased abortions on state and local revenues and costs cannot be estimated with precision, the total impact of the proposed amendment is indeterminate. THE FINANCIAL IMPACT OF THIS AMENDMENT CANNOT BE DETERMINED DUE TO AMBIGUITIES AND UNCERTAINTIES SURROUNDING THE AMENDMENT’S IMPACT.

    Pretty drunk at this point tonight I don’t even like Harris but if Trump wins tonight I ain’t gonna remember the rest of the night
