Starting a mid-decade redistricting war only to end up with -1 seats is the same fine strategic genius and subtle grasp of game theory that brough us the Strait of Hormuz.

Evelyn Normielib is here and she is politely voting to gerrymander your ass into irrelevance

as it becomes clear that Yes has won in VA and gerrymandering will pass, a message to Republican voters:

you brought this on yourselves

you convinced the most fairness-obsessed, That Wouldn’t Be Fair-minded voters in the country to affirmatively vote to put you in the dumpster

you earned this

Mayor Mamdani and a group of children hold hands while running through red tape in a hallway.

For too long, bureaucracy kept 7 child care centers across our city empty — spaces that should have been alive with laughter instead collected dust.

We've run through that red tape. This fall, all 7 will open their doors, bringing an additional 240 free 3-K seats & real relief to working families.

The opposite can also happen- for example, a behind in the polls candidate or their supporters might secretly bid up the stock for them winning to try to imply that things are turning in their favor.

"if Americans start reading Will Stancil consumer confidence will rise such that a long blockade becomes tenable."

Iran going after Bsky is a genuinely funny waste of resources.

During Trumps first admin I interviewed Carlson and talked to him about how his rhetoric specifically hurt my life and he treated it like a big joke. Remorse that only comes when it’s convenient isn’t remorse at all.

liberal currents, as featured in the wall street journal and disc horse bot,

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.

Since 2016 people have been demanding that Democrats manifest a pan-ideological United Front coalition against Trumpism while refusing to grapple with the fact that vanishingly few conservatives have shown the slightest interest in such a project.

Judging by the "yes, really" in the link title, I think they're making fun of the BS

The Angine de Poitrine Argument for UBI Why Angine de Poitrine's viral microtonal math rock KEXP session, Ireland's permanent basic income for artists, and Albert Einstein are three sides of the same human triangle

This was a fun one for me to write. It's the Angine de Poitrine argument for universal basic income. We could have more weird, awesome, truly human stuff like this if we all had UBI. We could have more Einsteins too. And because those things are true, the cost of NOT doing UBI isn't worth it.

China's electrification bet is paying off. Electricity now accounts for 30% of its energy consumption - 50% higher than the US or Europe.

With 1/3 of global renewable energy capacity already installed, China is structurally more insulated from rising oil prices than most Western economies.

The House passed our extension of TPS for Haiti with a 224 vote victory of Democrats & Republicans alike.

This has been a long-fought battle to defend our Haitian neighbors & our communities, and we're not letting up.

The Senate must take action without delay.

Sid Rosenberg @sidrosenberg19 X.com l'll be 59 on Sunday:) For the first time ever I'm sporting a Yankee jersey as I make my way to the Bronx. The official transition from a life long Met fan to a Yankee fan is now underway. Like my friend @CGasparino once wrote "Go Woke, Go Broke!" The Mamdani Mets are too WOKE for me! See ya at the Stadium soon fans!

Absolutely dying at right-wing radio host Sid Rosenberg getting so angry that Mr. and Mrs. Met hugged @mayor.nyc.gov that he started calling them antisemites and became a Yankees fan.

George Lucas Saying “And then 'Senator Crappo' will be the guy who makes the taxes worse"

We should have never doubted this man

“Even more troublingly, other researchers say, the (two) fake preprints were then cited in peer-reviewed literature…suggesting that some researchers are relying on AI-generated references without reading the underlying papers.”

The price of beef is massively subsidized, not least by the fact that the cost to graze cattle on public land has not changed since the 1960s.

$1.35 per cow-calf pair per month - 30 to 50 times less than market value.

If you really want to stop corporate welfare, beef prices are gonna go up.

Let ‘The Great Back-Pedaling’ commence.

*talking to teenage militant atheist self*

current me: okay so there’s a big fight between the government and the catholic church

teenage me: got it, so we’re obviously on the side of the government

current me: I, uh, you might want to sit down for this one

Hungary's prime minister elect announcing that Orbán was funding CPAC and other Trump-related political activities (also Heritage Foundation's Project 2025), and this will now end.

it is extremely funny that the brightest spot for republicans were their gains with latinos and they have spent every minute since trump took office doing everything humanly possible to turn every single one of those voters against them

How the fuck are him and Bessner both tenured college professors?

Coachella performers are funding the MAGA movement Following the money from Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, and Karol G to the politicians advancing Trump’s agenda

Well, I didn’t see this coming, but then again, I hadn’t been looking for it.

Sunlight is the best disinfectant, and independent journalists generate sunlight.

We are blockading the strait
Sending energy prices soaring
In an effort to unblock the strait
Which sent energy prices soaring
When the war we started
For reasons we never really explained
And have mostly dropped
Sent energy prices soaring
By blocking the strait
That was unblocked before we started

downwardly mobile gentrifiers want riding the subway to be Cool, urbanists want the least cool person you know to prefer riding the subway to owning a car

tokyo metro handles ~7 million riders daily. this is not because they made it free and easy and everyone can do anything on the subway. this is because the subway is very fast, very reliable, has incredible coverage, and thus MEDIAN PEOPLE USE IT

The Single Stairway to Heaven Stairway reform could increase housing abundance and affordability by making better use of a building’s floor area.

U.S. building codes require two stairwells above three stories, which forces a layout that squeezes out larger apartments.

Much of the developed world allows single-stair buildings even up to 10 stories with no measurable safety tradeoff and more room for families.
