  • Reminds me that Obama was on Between Two Ferns over ten years ago. Granted, it was not during his election, but that one stands out as particularly silly. Plenty do late night TV, though, and Conan might have been my first exposure to Obama when he was a relative no-name in Chicago.

    Those types of things really humanize politicians. I feel like that was lacking with Biden (although I think Hillary tried because there wasn’t much to humanize). I’m glad Harris is doing a good job taking the more interesting outlets. What next, Hot Ones?








  • Glad to be in California, even if my vote isn’t going to matter thanks to electorial college. I still have to vote on propositions and other down ballet stuff, but it’s a simple walk to a drop box. We get quick confirmation and votes remain sealed until counted to prevent tampering, so it’s pretty safe to mail it or drop it off. Also still counts if it’s postmarked on time, although I do late that it’ll be a week before we really know results.

    That said, if you can go early voting in person, it’s probably more reliable in many other states with less protections. I heard USPS may be unreliable and if you can’t get confirmation via email or text, it’s hard to know if it’s received.
