"Swim" isn’t just a refrain, it’s an exhortation.

“ARMY, swim. Move forward. Don’t think too hard, just trust yourself. Trust the water. Dive in, with the moon, with the sharks. SWIM”

What a color!

Cringe seems to mean loving something openly and without shame. Or, making things cringe by putting shame on love because you don't agree with it?

people HAVE to accept that being in fandom is cringe. it will be viewed as cringe, and that is okay. embrace it. you cannot engage with media in good faith if you're in fandom space behaving cynically as if you're superior to the media and the creative community around it

💜 So sorry to hear this.

Not only that, but CA was contingent on TX going first. The GOP could've stopped the whole thing, but chose to play with fire instead.

most gerrymanders are republican legislators saying fuck the voters

these ones are the voters saying fuck republican legislators

So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out

Remember, Democrats have repeatedly advanced measures to ban partisan gerrymandering and Republicans have voted against them time after time.

This is the game Republicans wanted to play. OK, then.

fandom has always been built on complete sincerity. online culture has become allergic to the very notion of earnestness, and it's making fandom spaces miserable. the sooner you free yourself from the shackles of shame around sincere fannishness, the more joy you'll find

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

It's true!!!!

Image of a Virginia Democrats' proposed congressional map that is drawn to elect a ten-to-one Democratic majority and flip four Republican seats in 2026. The district lines are displayed over top of a basemap with major roads and cities labeled. The districts are colored by the 2024 presidential winner's margin of victory, with Kamala Harris districts in blue and Donald Trump districts in red. Darker shades represent larger margins of victory. An embedded chart shows the 2024 presidential election results and the adult population racial demographics in each district. Harris won 10 of the 11 districts, with Trump winning just a single district in western Virginia. Black voters would retain their ability to elect their preferred candidates in Districts 3 and 4, which remain safely Democratic.

Breaking (🧵): Virginia has PASSED a referendum that would let Dems redraw the congressional map for 2026 in response to new GOP gerrymanders in other states (pending VA Supreme Court review).

It targets 4 Rs to elect a 10-1 Dem majority.

Love this article. Thank you for bringing it back.

What Brought Beyoncé, U2, and BTS to Amish Country? You’ve never heard of Rock Lititz. But before the pandemic put the industry on hold, the biggest names in music were joining its waitlist.

I find tour logistics so incredibly cool. This article from 2020 is a fascinating insight to everything that goes into putting on a show like Arirang and moving it around the globe.

I want a documentary about EVERYTHING, BigHit!
