And there you go for #vicvotes, ALP claims Bass, securing 56 seats, one more than the #danslide of 2018 (is it a danslam now? Or a guydrop?)

I hope there's going to be some navel gazing out of the media (both mainstream and not) regarding the amount of gaslighting they were pushing onto the Victorian (and Australian) public about this election. They got it not just wrong but hugely, incredibly, ridiculously wrong.

Labor wins its 56th seat as Jordan Crugnale claims Bass, the last lower house seat to be called in the Victorian election

Jordan Crugnale claims victory in Bass, delivering Labor its 56th seat and finalising the lower house results in the Victorian election.

Nice. #vicvotes and #ABC showing ALP has 55 seats (winning Pakenham). If they win one more seat, they'll have exceeded the 2018 danslide.

Not bad for an election the media was telling us for weeks was going to be close, with the ALP in with a chance of winning.

Here's hoping the Nationals decide to cut off from the Liberals as well.

I do have a full (image to text) transcript of this letter but Mastodon is not allowing me to include them as they exceed the word length allowed.

“So here's the thing. You can only violate people's legal rights and your own word so far before they lawyer up and come after you. I really do hope Musk changes his mind and does the right thing - the employees deserve that. But it'll be fun as hell if he doesn't.”
