Twitter Is Relaxing With Election Counterprogramming
Some people can just watch election results roll in and chill. They just watch the New York Times election Needle, like those freaks who raw-dog flights. Others need a little distraction to take the edge off. There’s any number of genuinely relaxing things one could use to turn off the brain. Macro images of marble, or that one deaf cat on TikTok that doesn’t know it makes the cutest noises. Or, at this point, Uncut Gems? Twitter has pointed out that literally anything is most likely a more chill viewing experience than America’s election results. The Bear is more chill, Horizon: An American Saga would feel shorter, the original Halloween would have fewer anti-sex and misogynist implications. You get the idea. A few more last-minute ideas for Election Night counterprogramming:
➽ The scene in Saltburn when Felix visits Oliver’s family on a loop
➽ Terrifier kill compilations
➽ The famously catastrophic New Orleans episode of SNL
➽ Stephen Colbert’s live 2016 election coverage
➽ The Election Night episode of Succession
➽ The D23 announcement that the Rivers of America at Walt Disney World was being torn out and that Muppet*Vision 3D might get torn down for a Monsters, Inc. coaster
➽ That movie about the guy who knows he has been poisoned and has only hours to solve his own murder (it is Noirvember, after all)
➽ Walk-through footage of “Jimmy Fallon’s Tonightmares”
➽ The Idol
