Hint: it is not.

Same.

We've already had one case where redistricting pulled a bunch of Dems into a GOP district, and in the next election the Democratic candidate won. Redistricting really could be a big self-own.

Thank you. Yeah, in Texas redistricting was done to us. Congratulations and thank you to the states where voters got to decide!

This is great! My quasi-stepdaughter is a big fan of Scary Pockets.

Yeah, I was very confused by this post since he isn't running for Congress. When they redrew the district lines, I got gerrymandered out of Greg Casar's district into Roy's. Blerg.

I was once friends with the art director, Robert Burns, and the director, Tobe Hooper, also directed the video for "Dancing With Myself" (incidentally, my fave Billy Idol song).

a man is holding a woman in his arms while the sun is setting behind them . Alt: a man is spinning around wildly, waving a chainsaw

I've just discovered my degrees from Billy Idol, and they run through "Texas Chainsaw Massacre."

The head of the FBI isn't supposed to be getting blackout drunk. He's supposed to be cross-dressing

I've become quite a Jese Welles fan.

He's incredible.

God is good.

It's powerful enough that it has a presence. A deeply unsettling one. As it should.

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH

I'm an editor and yes, I encourage writers to read their work out loud. One of C.S. Lewis's rules for writing is, "Make it sound nice," and hearing your own work can help with that. (And I read things aloud when I'm copyediting, too.)

It's what plants crave.

What is wrong with our cohort?!?

A photo of about 7 young people posing together at an outdoor bar and looking happy, with a post saying that this is the Alvin Ords graduating class of 2026 and explaining that they quit because of the owners' utter lack of respect for their employees. The post concludes with a thanks to the community for all the love and support.

The whole staff of a local sandwich shop quit because of continued abusive treatment from one of the owners. I stand in solidarity, even though I will never have my favorite sandwich again.

Let's hear it for Blue Cheese Leftist!

I know! It was so good! The alligator episode alone ...

We are.
