Joe Biden has won the presidency.
President-elect Joe Biden sent a message to those who voted for President Trump, calling for unity and reconciliation.
"Now for all those of you who voted for President Trump, I understand your disappointment tonight. I've lost a couple of times myself, but now let's give each other a chance," Biden said.The former vice president said it was time both sides "listen to each other again."
"It's time to put away the harsh rhetoric, lower the temperature, see each other again, listen to each other again, and to make progress, we have to stop treating our opponents as our enemies. They are not our enemies. They are Americans," Biden said.
He continued: "The Bible tells us for everything there is a season, a time to build, a time to reap, and a time to sow and a time to heal. This is the time to heal in America."

With work/scheduling, I’m going to pass on arranging the monthly DoOO Meetup for November, though I’d invite others to put one together.
In lieu, I’ll recommend people join me at the bigger IndieWebCamp East on Nov. 14-15, where I’m sure there will be lots of Domains related discussions.
