Exit polls are rarely dramatically wrong, so oof, that’s not fun to see.

The Electoral Commission (or really, whoever is responsible for political advertising) should really extend the ban on attack ads to online sources. Shit like this should be as unacceptable on Facebook and YouTube as it is on ITV and Channel 4.

The amount of reports of queues at polling stations and people abandoning them in order to go to work just emphasises how much election day outta be a national holiday or on a weekend.

Gonna be nice and try to tag everything that’s deep in the politics hole today and overnight. Sorry if I miss anything!

Weather’s a bit crap but hey guess what? VOTE ANYWAY.

Getting a little bit moist is not a reason to give up the next however many years of political participation.

I've finished the story of Pokémon Sword and Shield, including the postgame. The first time I've done that since Pokémon Blue, which might say something about how much I enjoyed it.

I’ve been using a picture of my fursona on an internal work system for like six weeks now and no one's mentioned it yet. hah.

Probably for the best, as I’ll be voting for her.

Goin’ to a hustings tonight too, if I wasn’t already being overtly political.

Whoops, accidentally posted what was meant to be yet another reply in a protracted Twitter argument with a Trumper who thinks private healthcare is cheaper than single-payer and every objective report saying otherwise is propaganda.

An evident problem of my making of "These are songs that came out this year that I liked" playlists is that this year I found a ton of music that I really love... that came out in 2018.

Ultimately the electoral system is just stupid and tactical voting shouldn’t even exist, but them’s the rules of the game right now.

The Greens are very much “my party” policy-wise and I’m in Bristol West, where they tend to do well.

But the current (Labour) MP also votes pretty much in-line with my ideals, and I’m conscious of the need to vote tactically to keep one of the Brexit-backing parties out.

I’m actually in a funny situation where, for maybe the first time, I’m kinda torn on how to vote.
