Renovating a XIV, XVII and XVIII Century castle in Burgundy, including (potentially) a 🍇 vineyard. Might also attempt to grow some truffles! 🍄

P.S. I usually follow back, but it might take me a few days to notice. 😬

Me: Polls are dumb.

Some of you: FFS, Laffy, what’s wrong with you? Polls are dumb!

Me: grabs nearest alcoholic beverage at 7 am, throws hands in air, mumbles obscenities

I'm done for today.

I get people panicking, I feel it too.

But I've blocked so many people today for wishing for violence, saying voting doesn't matter, etc.

I have no tolerance for that. None.

And then one coming in saying that I was "for the status quo" and blocking me... that was mature. From kolektiva server, so there's that.

Seriously, I'm so over today.

I hope those of you who are more rational have a more peaceful evening.

Today sucked, but let's stay rational. PLEASE.

YOU are part of the SOLUTION. 👍 ✌️ 😁

Okay, so you’re all so doom and gloom recently, that I think you all need this little bit of humor to cheer you up! 😂

It’s not actually true, though…

@GottaLaff I actually like visitors, just as soon as I’ve tidied up any mess, and decided on a menu for dinner 🍽️ 🍷 and what we’re drinking etc.

Dinner party in an ornate setting, with waiters removing domes from all of the guests plates individually to reveal the dish.

A word of warning for ppl looking for smoking hot-takes on the French elections tonight: actually, were unlikely to find out much and it'll be very hard to predict the final results, especially bc this election is extremely unpredictable. The few things to watch out for are...

@GottaLaff The EU 🇪🇺 and the world 🌎 need Macron to have a good result IMHO.

Not likely? As pointed out, with high participation, anything could happen. 🤔

An extreme right or extreme left result is good for nobody. RN name change from “National Front” doesn’t make them less dangerous.

Mélenchon and LFI seem determined to replay the fiasco of Labour in 🇬🇧. Short term gains maybe, but later?

Don’t forget that Russian propaganda is at play in 🇫🇷 just as it is in 🇺🇸.

Destabilizing functional western democracies from within is the goal, to undermine western dominance in the world.

Please watch all of this. At about 6:30, Lawrence O’Donnell addresses “the magic candidate” who would replace Biden issue.

Spoiler: There is no such thing.

@GottaLaff I somewhat disagree with the first point, that only 50 million voters out of 150 million watched the debate, and probably none of them were undecided voters. That’s because of all the coverage in the press and on social media of what happened.

Why would an undecided voter sign up for a 90 minute “boring” debate? That much is true.

@GottaLaff When considering the question “what were you doing for 187 minutes?” That’s not a possible debate question in that format, because it would be specific to one candidate.

@GottaLaff Excellent point about tariffs. That should have been the question.

Trump is so inept that he doesn’t understand the basics. That’s why he is so dangerous as a president, even without the insurrection, the pardons of guilty dangerous people, the constant lies, pandering to culture wars etc.

@GottaLaff I’m still watching the rest, so I haven’t caught up, and you directed us to watch the whole thing! I’m very obedient! 😜l

@GottaLaff THE LAST WORD in all of this is that there is NO OTHER CHOICE.

Uncle JOE may not have proven in the debate that he was as convincing as we hoped he might be, but he did prove hours later in North Carolina that he knows exactly what he’s doing and how to fight. That’s also shown later in the clip.

TRUMP did PROVE irrefutably that he is UNFIT to make any substantive decisions of any kind and will NEVER tell the TRUTH about anything.

But yeah. He “won”?! 🤦‍♂️

To be abundantly clear, I am voting for President Joe Biden. He is the only choice. Crap night be damned.

@Nonilex there IS no other choice possible.

Trump even challenged the legitimacy of the last election while claiming he’ll accept the result of the next, if there isn’t all the fraud or something to that effect.

So the answer is no.

So, was driving down the highway and this huge pickup truck making aggressive lane changes came zooming up through traffic. It was flying a big American flag upside down and covered with Trump stickers. What is happening here? It's just so sad. How did we reach this point?

@mastodonmigration where I live, those people are next to invisible. They are out of touch with reality because of their choice of (mis)information. They seem to truly believe the outlandish lies that the orange one and his cohorts feed them.

Democracy is flawed. Stupid people outnumber smart people. They used to vote for those they thought were smarter than them. Now they vote for liars, grifters and thieves who take money from them.

Robinhood in reverse. 🤷‍♂️

Clinging to their guns and their religion? True.

Deplorables? True.

It was all true. Now we need a plan.
