Here in Seattle, most of the local and state elections went the way I was hoping. We got a governor who sued the Trump administration almost 100 times while he was attorney general.

Before anyone gets too comfortable:

Nate Silver’s latest forecast now gives Vice President Kamala Harris a slight edge in the Electoral College, projecting her with a 50 percent chance of victory compared to former President Donald Trump’s 49.6 percent.

I zoomed in and it’s just made of square pixels.

You should try the rubber band thing! It’s life changing I tell ya.

If you’re having a hard time opening a jar or bottle, wrap a rubber band around the lid, then use that to grip and twist it. I don’t know why it works so well but it does.

My money’s on 4.

Very interesting!

The Bjork Song

Why did the chicken cross the road?

To get to the other side, where he was meeting his church group to tell them he would no longer be attending.

Last time I saw it, it didn’t have the unnecessary explanation at the top.

This is an interesting idea. A few potential issues come to mind:

• In this system, each community needs moderators from each instance it is on. A small instance run by one person would face a challenge finding people to moderate potentially hundreds of communities.
• You mention that a user who doesn’t like their instance’s moderation can use a different instance, but this isn’t easy. There’s no account migration at the moment. This is more of an issue with the lack of that functionality, since there are many other reasons people would want to switch instances.
• If this was implemented, presumably it would require merging all existing communities that share names. There may be some big differences in the culture and content of these instances which could cause problems. You’ll find different content in the “memes” communities on lemmy.world, slrpnk.net, and hexbear.net.
