Trying not to pay attention to US politics this past fortnight (and failing) and I have to say, you guys should have voted for Cthulhu, he'd DEFINITELY be the lesser evil right now.

@cstross can you just imagine trying to find a new job in this place and time? If Cthulhu themself were hiring for devops I would… I would probably ask about benefits.

Plus, it would be a lot more fun going mad.

@cstross Cthulhu could've won if only he hadn't refused to deal with The Elon Musk on ethical grounds.

@cstross I started reading your (Laundry) books because am an an IT professional and I found them entertaining.

I continued because I liked them.

But I never thought your stories were an anticipation of the reality.

@cstross Chthulu could never be nominated by a major political party. It would tell the truth and which the party can not abide.

@cstross

I put a set of filters in, they have worked a treat, I still know the awful things are going on but at least it's not in my face and I can get on with my life. The news I hear you cry, well I have not followed the news for years, massively improves my mental health.

@cstross Oh, you think we should’ve elected the OTHER unknowable and incomprehensible horror that evokes existential terror?

@cstross

We couldn't vote for Cthulhu. He didn't run.

@cstross

I feel like this is goading Cthulhu into the Elder God equivalent of "hold my beer." I'm no expert, but this seems bad.
