    I'm at a 10. This will be close, not the ridiculous blowout everyone got their hopes up for following the Ann Selzer poll. So depressing that it is going to go down to the wire.

    Me too, but I'm also getting the Knave vibes where the hope is just there to make us feel even worse when it is shattered.

    I still see no reason to lower the gloom meter to single digits. None.

    Fricking Loudoun county with the shout-out on PBS. Harris with the 16 point lead but trump with more votes than 2020.

    I’m starting to feel extremely anxious to sleep. This is going to come down to the wire.

    I'm a 9/10. This isn't looking good I fear. The blue wall is creaking.

    A gay atheist who teaches human evolution, race and the biology of sex, gender and sexual orientation has no future in America. Well, there is a future but it is not at all pleasant and would end in an unnatural way.

    I'm there. I'll probably go to bed and wake up to a Trump presidency, sadly.

    I need to write a carefully constructed letter to my students, reminding them of their options to escape and for why they should take advantage of the exit path I have created for them.
