It's so hilarious how MAGAs react to such a loss. Among dumbfucks - denialism and cries of fraud. Among "intellectuals" - complaints about how the system is so unfair that i"they" are not represented now despite also voting.
And let me give you something to think through the joy you feel right now looking at the map:
How many of these new senators will be new Sinemas, Mnuchins, and, God forbid, Fettermans? Because most of these seats aren't DSA-type people.
I'd suggest Dems take this list seriously as well.
Republicans take note:
Closing border - Good
Showboat roundups - Not good
Tax breaks - Good
Tariffs and trade wars - Not good
Eliminating nuclear threat - Good
MOU purgatory - Not good
Taking on cartels - Good
Kissing ass of Xi and Putin - Not good
Kicking ass with allies - Good
Alienating allies - Not good
Taking red dye out of food - Good
Allowing measles to return - Not good
Removing Maduro - Good
Making Canada an enemy - Not good
So many own goals to ruin otherwise winning strategies. Mostly the protectionist and isolationist ones.

Израильские товарищи, а что у вас за волна паники про какие-то "арабские партии" в коалиции?
Есличе я про вашу политику знаю только что у вас есть Нетаньягу и какой-то Бен Гвир и обоих очень не любят наши левые.
I bullshitted, I’ll tweet about elections one more time.
So, Talarico wins.
Texas Secretary of State and Governor delay the certification (any means: recounts, courts, disputed certifications in some counties, any reason) till the January, 3. On January 3, Abbott proclaims that the seat is vacant and appoints a senator under Texas Election Code 204.002.
If this results in 50/50 split, Senate confirms the appointee (or 51/49 with Fetterman going Fetterman).
Not the likeliest scenario, a lot can go sideways in Senate, but unfortunately plausible, and there are already signs of “prominent figures” preparing to reject (some) election results.
All this "Modern Africa vs 1939 Europe" shows how little people understand what 85 years of military technology development has done.
My last elections take and I’ll shut up. The worst possible result for dems would be 51/49 Senate control. With Fetterman voting pattern it would be either GOP agenda dressed as bipartisan or paralysis blamed on Dem infighting.
Bots are back, btw.
There is a funny thing about Dem and GOP supporters and the odds of who will hold the Senate.
Dems are all in for the blue wave and parading recent surveys around, ignoring that their D +N normally has N less than the confidence interval.
GOP are all about "look at Trump's margins in 2024" as if nothing happened between 2024 and now, and his approval rating is beyond good; some "GOP always overperforms polls" copium also present (GOP overperforms Dems' confidence; they show predicted results if you understand what a confidence interval is).
I think we're all heading into the nastiest BS storm after these elections are over. I don't even want to bet how many people will yell "this is a sham election, that's impossible" after the results are out.
That is really the best forecast we can get, solid and realistic 50/50.

Bots (like political astroturfing bots) don’t really need datacenters to run… until they do.
Current social media farms need ai to run all the bs “support”, and paying for cloud providers is expensive and in a constant risk of model refusing to do something. What to do? Take the datacenter and deploy a local model there. Slightly cheaper on scale, much more control.
So yes, cloudflare numbers on the bot activity drop is about Yandex search bots. Reduced trolls and bullshit posters on multiple platforms is also true, cause inference is dead.
The slow restoration of a higher-profile accounts is mostly switching the remaining compute to them, switching them to cloud models not to loose the engagement, or maybe even supporting them with humans.
