For the record, I personally believe the interference had an effect, but not enough to affect result. It merely fed existing sentiment a bit. Trump won legitimately enough, and the biggest distortion came from domestic media coverage choices (ugly but not illegal) not Russia.

My problem with Trump regime was not its legitimacy, nor even its ideological leanings or low-grade self-dealing/profiteering. It was with their open attempt to destroy institutions, hold them hostage with ransomware tactics, and putting a bunch of foxes in to guard henhouses.

Venkatesh Rao Retweeted Ethereal bisexual who wears mostly black
Cute, but let's maybe not do this? Process, memorialize, move on. This is borderline nyanyanyha territory.https://twitter.com/Travon/status/1324766589804142594 …

Still counting for godot. Where did I read that trump is the sort of golfer who will move his own ball if he can get away with it, but won’t ever concede the putt if you’re inches away? Is this true of his literal golfing btw?https://www.liveabout.com/conceded-putt-1564034 …

Venkatesh Rao Retweeted Kelly Digges
Update: he tried to rake his putt Tuesday night, got called on it. Now he’s trying to kick the ball or something. This is not even a metaphor. It’s a full-blown allegory for this race.https://twitter.com/kellydigges/status/1324862184074043393?s=21 …

CNN doomscroll time. Biden’s apparently waiting for media to call it. Media is slow-walking it. I guess they want to truly Trump-proof the call.

Still fascinated by the golf allegory. Most states are finishing the city+mail-in last, so those are the putts. The non-urban and in-person votes were the drives. In a few states that mapping is mangled. But yeah he’s trying to rake the putts everywhere at a point he was ahead.

This is the worlds most annoying golf course, where the 18 holes are the 18 swingiest states.
