Politics and religion post [UPDATED]

 

They say you aren't supposed to talk about politics or religion; let's see if I can violate both taboos. Above is a graphic that Joseph Matheny posted on X.com that I thought was funny.

As for politics, today is election day in the U.S., I did not expect the report that Adam Gorightly won. Adam says, "No time for celebrating right now. I need to get busy punishing my enemies!" Adam hasn't invited me yet to join his cabinet, but there's still time. 

My own views are closest to Michael Huemer's and to Scott Sumner's.  They are libertarians; if you are interested, you can read a left point of view from Freddie DeBoer, who says the U.S. is "a country with two right-wing parties." I assume that everyone else in the Solar System has heard from Harris or Trump fans by now. If anyone is curious, I voted for Harris while holding my nose and gave money to Chase Oliver, the Libertarian. My reasoning was pretty close to Huemer's and Sumner's. 

I put together a list on X.com to help me follow what's going on tonight during the election; it's an ideologically diverse group of accounts mainly meant to give me an idea how things are going. While I put it together for myself, it's public so everyone else can access it if they find it useful. 

UPDATE: I forgot to mention that marijuana legalization is on the ballot in three states; Jacob Sullum has the details at Reason.  Note that Florida requires a 60 percent majority to amend its constitution, so weed legalization could well get a majority of "Yes" votes and still fail.
