My Dad went from throwing the football with me to running off with a diner waitress. They disappeared for 17 years. I committed fraud pretending to be him on a credit report and tracked him down in Texas. We had 20 pretty good years then he died. Now that's all done and I'm healed.
This is a pretty good description for most of Birmingham's population, to be honest.

It's not the obvious, blatant bigots who nearly everyone agrees can get fucked. It's the people who turn a blind away or explain away the bigotry and let it flourish.
Basically, people that have no issue trampling someone else's liberty, but will scream bloody murder the second they are inconvenienced.

I've resigned myself to the fact that the Dems are gonna get jobbed in Georgia, somehow some way.
I like our chances, after yesterday, I really like them. It's one thing to play funny on something really close, like a few thousand votes, but if we can stretch that to 30 to 40k, I don't think so.
One other thing I like, yesterday approximately 47k of the votes were from people that did not vote in 2020. I just noticed that stat on the page I referenced earlier.

Some interesting data on Georgia:
Pretty sure the data is a lagging from last night. Big take away from yesterday, the female vote was 30k higher than the male.

I hear this a lot and it's an anthropocentric fallacy imo. You're assuming that a species that can manipulate gravity to bend space time or travel through dimensions or portals or whatever would thus be less likely to have an accident/crash. Besides the fact that there's no reason to believe that - it's simply a broad assumption - there are plenty of reasons as to why an advanced craft could or would crash on Earth. If you took a Boeing 737 and flew it on, say, the moon, it probably isn't going to handle the same.
A similar thing you hear a lot is "well if aliens did come here they'd obviously come here to conquer us or exterminate us and steal all of our resources". Why? Because that's what we would do? That doesn't necessarily hold any weight.
Skeptics too often come across as uncreative and myopic. Go look at "future predictions" that we as a species made in the past and then examine how far off some of them wound up being. It's the same idea - trying to predict the future without being able to concretely know anything about it.
Alright, I'll meet you half way, I'll give a bit if you can acknowledge that most of the UFO community is in fact a grift, professional "aliens" people that profit off their "discoveries" and media appearances, book writing, and conventions, etc. Seems to me, the foremost "experts" in this field seem to have a financial motive.
I'm willing acknowledge that stretching the limits of my own imagination is real as well. Anything is possible. However, I tend to put far more stock into those in the academic world.

Humans still trip, hit their head, and die. Despite having evolved to walk for millions of years. To believe that a civilization capable of interstellar travel can't have oopsies is illogical. Furthermore, it assumes that the only ones capable of coming are their very best. How many of our attempts at exploring our planet have ended poorly? Didn't an idiot just recently implode ab idiotly designed submarine? Hubris is basically a law of the universe.
An accident, as in singular, maybe, over and over again, as the UFO community would have you believe, no way. Boeing isn't running their programs.

For those that think the universe is a a void, I offer this as a rebuttal (it's the miller-ulrey experiment):
That's it, conditions have to be correct to a degree, but that's it. Life is everywhere.
As to it being intelligent and space faring, well that's another thing, but it's everywhere. The problem for those believing in some vast conspiracy about cover ups it ignores the fact that in order for this to be a true, a species or several species would not only have the capability to travel here, conquering gravity, time and physics as we know it, but then they'd have to repeatedly crash or be shot down. I hope you see the discrepancy in that logic.
I firmly believe there is ample intelligent space faring life out there. Firmly believe it, but the conspiracy stuff is crap.
Also, neutrinos can travel faster than the speed of light, so yes we know it's possible.

STOP THE COUNT!
Oh it's still three weeks away?
Stop it anyway!
AJC is reporting 281k at poll closing time, with people still in lines (if you are in line when the polls close, they have to let your vote by law). Georgia will eclipse 300k on the first day of early voting.

Are the registration statistics of the people who actually showed up today going to be published today?
Not to my knowledge, but I think I've been a little confusing on what I'm saying so, here goes. The numbers I was referencing were along the lines that if the same amount of people voted as last time, we would peel off 5% of a district Republican's know they have to have to make Georgia even competitive (Atlanta is a steamroller, they have to have the margins, and my district is a margin). They will run it up in rural counties and districts, but with very small total numbers. What I saw today was a massive uptick in likely Dem voters, whereas Republicans were very stagnant or subdued. Extremely encouraging, not because I think we will win my district (that would be great to tell treason tour guide Barry Loudermilk to hit the bricks) but because we are going to eat the margin they desperately need.
Since 2 today, I have received three texts from Loudermilk's campaign (something that has never happened, by the way, not once the election has actually started, I get run of the mill campaign shit prior every year) each about getting out to vote. What that tells me is there own internal people are worried, again, probably not for Loudermilk, but for the margins.

You know your precinct better than we do. There's no substitute for what you personally witnessed in line today. I just hope that those percentages improve because high turnout in Trump precincts, without knowing anything else about that turnout, sounds like bad news.
The Dem turnout was huge today, Republican stagnant.

So my precinct had a turnout of 8k in 2020, at a percentage of 60% Republican, or 4800 votes. If we pick up 5 percent that's 400 votes, just my precinct. I live in a district with close to 200k votes. 2020 the totals were approximately 120k votes, if we cut in 5 points its 110k votes, negating the state total by 10k. That's a big deal.

I liked what I read until the last 3 sentences. *If* your district is 45% D, why would you be enthused about the turnout? You gonna be down 10 votes for every 100, but you want to make it up in volume? I hope you're wrong about the percentages.
Picking up 5% in my area negates 20k worth of Republican votes in other areas. In a state won by 10k last time around, that's a big deal.

*****************BREAKING SURLY ITEAM NEWS EXCLUSIVE*******************
Early turn out in Georgia is massive. My ballot, cast at approximately 11:30, was the 634th of the day, and there were 200 people in line behind me, and no signs of slowing. For reference, our precinct in 2020 had approximately 8000 votes cast in 2020, all manners of voting. Today is on pace to have at least 1000 votes cast on day 1. Also, unscientifically and just from observation, the crowd skewed markedly younger in comparison from 2020, I would guess down from an average age of 60sih then to roughly 50ish this time. Overheard in line behind several Republicans, "This doesn't look good." Lots of women, lots, by my guess approximately 2 to 1. So younger, more women, about the same amount of racial diversity. Lots less olds, lots.
Observed, Republican poll monitor looking mighty unhappy about the turnout, Democratic poll monitor with a happy smile. I'm not under any delusion that Dems will win my area, but negate any advantage held prior looks very favorable. (Last time around 60/40 Republican-Dem. We've got a shot at 45% in my mind).

So my wife watches the local Fox news program in the morning, they are doing every story imaginable to attempt to ignore early voting. Thus far, we got one 2 min blurb about it, along with a massive line in Dekalb County in the background, and then everything from a 10 minute conversation about the hosts favorite snacks to a 20 minute review and live performances from the new Amelie production. Headed to the polls, you are damn right I'm blasting Turn Down for What pulling in.

Sigh of relief here, of the issues of the day, this seems like one big one we can just cross off the list and move on with.
