Washington Post Editorial Board headline: “The Texas gerrymander freak out. What’s happening in Texas is not a threat to democracy.”

Washington Post Editorial Board headline: “Virginia plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss. The redistricting scheme was always a power grab by Democrats. Voters went along with it.”

The Washington Post Editorial Board was fine with Republicans gerrymandering in Texas.

But when Democrats responded in Virginia, it’s a “power grab” that “plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss.”

Just to be clear, it was internally derided as well

In season 1 of Little Busters, Riki's emotional maturity and perseverance are framed as an innate qualities of his character, but reframing everything as a time loop tells us that this was part of a character arc that we didn't see.
A minor difference, but a crucial one. (3/3)

In Little Busters, we only see the good ends to each route, and so we are shown the best versions of the characters, whereas other stories rely much more heavily on the bad ends to show how much those characters have progressed and struggled by the end. (2/3)

I think overall I'm still gonna like Little Busters in the end, but there is something that it misses on a fundamental level compared to other time loops narratives like Higurashi or Steins;Gate. (1/3)

I never got the Disney cartoon “Motor Mania” until I started biking and walking most places.

The transformation that happens for the vast majority of drivers when they get behind the wheel of their powerful mobile multi-ton living room is almost supernatural (it’s not, but it feels that way).

Trump obviously sounds ridiculous here, but this is actually a masterful demonstration from Tim Cook on how to handle him: call him with an ask, but flatter him by framing it as some intractable business problem that can only be solved by the Master of Deals.

Sorry to be overly sincere for a second, but here's why we decided to persevere through all of the bullshit and take over InfoWars.

There's just gotta be a line somewhere.

Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.

'The One Piece is Real,' An Interview with Reese Alexiades from The Savannah Bananas

If baseball is the world, then MLB is the World Government, the big organization over all. Who then are the pirates in that world? Well, let me introduce you to the Savannah Bananas.

Shachi finally turning her mic on after nearly a year of no mic streams

I just fell out of bed from moving around in my sleep.
Fuck this job.

In case you are asking in earnest:
anubis.techaro.lol

unironically a beautiful and effective way to keep grifters out. if you get filtered by an anime catgirl popping up for 2 seconds because it's too cringe and gay for you was your heart really in the systems programming?

Shachi finally streaming with her mic on today.
I missed her voice so much.

Kamiina Botan's author Hey openly asked for an adaptation that takes distinct stylistic swings according to the lead artists every week, and episode #02 is undoubtedly Fugo's domain: solo key animation with no clean-up, unfiltered display of his body articulation to fuel the character acting

First solo run on Amazon deliveries.
We ball.

the basic theory of DOGE was that if powerful people said it was fine it didn’t matter what the law said.

I think proving that theory wrong is worth significant effort

this is really cool.

alt="A pentagram shaped image that looks like a metal medallion. At the top is a skull wearing a military helmet with glowing red eyes and two machine guns pointing out of its ears, below that is the text “operation Metro Surge Minnesota” with the text below that saying “one nation under God”. Below that aer images of Donald Trump and another white men both looking stern and angry, and below that 5 figures clothed in military tactical equipment, with face masks, helmets, and Appear to be machine guns or sniper rifles with these logos on their chests: Bortac, Hsi SRT, FPS, Borstar, Border patrol. At the bottom is a German Shepherd looking at the viewer with its mouth open. The overall impression is grim, with the esthetics of a badly designed early 2000s video game"

alt="An image of pentagonal metal medallion. At the top is a skull in a military helmet with glowing red eyes and two machine guns crossed behind it, and beneath that is a scene of several soldiers wearing full tactical gear and carrying some sort of banner that looks vaguely like an American flag (a large blue field of stars with tiny red and white stripes at the fringe). Behind them a military helicopter in a dark cloudy sky descending on an explosion; the explosion has what appear to be six or seven rocket tracers coming out of it. The helicopter is shining a spotlight down on the ground. The whole thing looks like a terrible video game from the 1990s, and carries the unmistakable whiff of AI generated design"

Behold the "challenge coin" the federal government is giving to folks who worked on Minneapolis detentions and deportations

it's both predictable -- the sort of garish video-game conflict imagery in which Trump's administration revels -- and grotesque
