That's what I'm talking about!

Thanks, you rock

[–] Substance_P@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Thanks! I just want to point out that some of the links may have changed, especially the YouTube links. So just as a reference, just go to the channel and search for the live feed of the election coverage.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm not. I've checked the results a couple times online, but I see no sense in watching coverage. We'll know the outcome when it's over and not a moment before.

[–] Roopappy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, it's not a football game. It's "It could go either way" until it goes one way and stays there. That's when it matters.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

That sounds kind of like a football game...

[–] marine_mustang@sh.itjust.works 53 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Staying busy and avoiding news. It’s highly likely that it won’t be decisive, and we don’t need to feed the relentless hysterical coverage machine of media corporations.

[–] helloworld55@lemm.ee 8 points 1 day ago

Thank you for this. I'm signing off for today, I'm sure I'll find the results out eventually

[–] HEXN3T@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm smoking weed, and drinking.. weed.

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] HEXN3T@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago

Nah, that sounds scary.

[–] Tazerface@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 day ago

I'll be watching V for Vendetta instead.

[–] Brutticus@lemm.ee 31 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I have vague plans to goon for 16 hours

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Same thing we do every night pinky.

I'm just going to watch memes and shitposts here on Lemmy

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago

yea, I'm on this train.

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] SirQuackTheDuck@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I'm actively trying to avoid it, but even in The Netherlands it's hard to avoid the talk of the town.

[–] zephorah@lemm.ee 29 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The republicans we know said today to expect trouble and to gas up and get groceries and just hunker down for a while. Which is not at all ominous.

I won’t be watching. I’m going out to my shop at 8. No internet out there. And probably not emerging until dead of night or early morning. Then, like a lot of other women, I’ll check on my status as a person going forward.

My other half is taking Benadryl and forcing himself to go to bed. He’s given strict instructions not to wake him, even if it’s good news, with a clear Kamala win. (Yea, trouble later, but it’ll still tell us what We The People decided up front, and that means a lot.)

[–] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago

Here's hoping you're still a human being tomorrow night. Cheers.

[–] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 33 points 2 days ago

From the safety of my bunker.

Some More News livestream after ingesting 10 mg of cannabis

[–] njordomir@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That's Warmbo's show, right?

[–] decended_being@midwest.social 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yep! They're doing a live stream starting at 5:00pm PT (8:00 Eastern)

Link https://www.youtube.com/live/1stJ9agSVn0?feature=shared

[–] nothingcorporate@lemmy.today 3 points 1 day ago

Perfect. This will now be how I watch. Thanks!

[–] njordomir@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Do you have to be on their patreon? I've been hearing everyone talking about this and I find their sudden popularity odd. I found Some More News through Internet Comment Etiquette (best show on YouTube) and SMN struck me as cringy AF even though I generally agree with the presenters. What pulls you to this show? Not really judging, just a little surprised and curious.

[–] HarbingerOfTomb@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

I think I'll hide in bed until it's over.

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago

I’m watching it all on AP and BBC.

[–] yessikg@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago

MSNBC and AP (they have a YT stream)

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Swede here, if I want to know directly when I wake up tomorrow, I'll check our national broadcaster's website, if not I'll probably end up learning it here on lemmy, possibly through politicalmemes or something

[–] tissek@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 day ago

Gonna do the same. Wake up, hit snooze, check SVT and Dagens Nyheter, and then onwards to /c/political memes. Possibly an excursion to BBC and CBC.

I'm gonna watch the Some More News crew livestream and drink a lot

[–] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 days ago

From the burnt end of a blunt and the bottom of a bottle lol

[–] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 10 points 2 days ago

Ill wait till lemmy starts bitching about it.

[–] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The restaurant I work for is hosting the mayor and a city counselor to watch the elections live with another 100 guests, so I'll be watching from the kitchen...

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh my. I hope that ends up being an interesting night rather than a tragic one. Then again, if y'all serving alcohol... might be very lucrative.

I get off early, so I'm going to buy a fresh pack of cigarettes and fraternize with the politicians while I wait to see exactly how the world will end.

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Tbh, I got a lot of work to do. I will probably just check the news that night or wait for someone to tell me.

The county assessors site for everything state and local. I will briefly check national, but I dont need the pageantry of network television to rile me up anymore than I already am.

[–] fubarx@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

There's a divey bar 10m away where people have been watching results the last few years. Might head down there. Pretty sure it'll be packed.

Alternative is to crawl into bed and wait till January.

Edit: we have a lot of local races (Mayor, City Council, propositions) on the line. Might hit the bar just to watch those and just ignore the national stuff.

Owned by Axel Springer... No thanks. Reuters has a map too if that's important to you. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/elections/

NPR as well. https://apps.npr.org/2024-election-results/

[–] Balthazar@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

After asking a similar question on this channel a few days ago, I think we're going to watch the coverage on NBC, unless I find something better on YouTube.

Cue all the comments about the final results not being available tomorrow night...

Either at a partisan gathering or curled up under my bed in the fetal position while my dogs lick my tears, depending on how things look tomorrow evening
