    For those that like livestreams and things-that-aren't-the-election, may I suggest: a week-long charity fundraiser livestream full of nerds doing dumb stuff on camera. Includes prizes, art contests, live auctions of nerd goods, too much singing, and the world's worst videogame being played continuously in the background. This is the tenth year, so there are a lot of established memes and traditions. Also did I mention prizes? There are so many items donated each year that whoever's hosting at the time gets to propose art or writing challenges so that folks who can't afford to donate anything can still have a crack at the sweet loot. All proceeds go to Child's Play, a charity that provides toys and games for kids in a bunch of hospitals around the world, and some domestic violence shelters as well.

    The official site is here. You'll need a basic user account to donate or bid on auctions, but iirc they're pretty easy to set up. There's just over nine hours til it starts.

    Forgot to add, there's a chat feature with active moderation, so you can yell at/with the crew without having to put up with randos spamming 'cuck' at everyone.

    If you tune in at 6pm PST (just under 3 hours from now) you can watch award-winning comics artist Ken 'Value-Added' Steacy auctioning off things from his personal collection, and probably also wearing a weird costume.
