youtube giving me a self-harm warning before playing "West End Girls," are you fucking kidding me

Somebody demolished the bathroom after too many Sutter Home white zins

A very special Happy Earth Day to everyone posting AI generated "happy earth day" graphics. Amazing job. You definitely get it.

Did you know that you can just go to the Republican Party of Virginia’s Facebook page and comment “Hoes Mad” on the things they’ve posted? It’s fun, go try it.

I never have and I’m not sure I want to. No matter how many times I was told when I was a teenager about three boobs.

Virginians, today you showed up for our democracy.

Trump tried to rig the 2026 elections with a corrupt redistricting scheme.

But not here in Virginia — we fought back, and we won.

Whomp whomp

Karoline Leavitt better have a go-bag packed

The GOP entered this redistricting under the rather childish delusion they were going to gerrymander, and nobody would gerrymander them. In TX, MO, and a half dozen other states, they put their rather naive theory into operation. They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind

I mean I’m fine with everyone on the cabinet getting fired but if the fourth woman gets fired while all the inept alcoholic male creeps stay - well, I guess it’s totally predictable.

GOOD

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.

The implicit media consensus is that urban voters should not be able to overrule rural voters, but that rural voters should be able to overrule urban voters, an assumption so axiomatic and unquestionable that nobody even understands they're making it.

most gerrymanders are republican legislators saying fuck the voters

these ones are the voters saying fuck republican legislators

just saw someone call Kash Patel “J Edgar Boozer” and need to lie down

Just remember. Trump and the GOP started this.

We are responding. And there will be justice for what they’ve done.

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

BlueSky fix your pictures so I can tag all the Virginia Republicans with a picture of a McDonald's job application

Now, we all need the alt-text.

I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals

Virginia Democrats' redistricting passes in vote that could shift Congress The move positions Virginia as a key battleground in a national redistricting fight that could help determine control of the U.S. House.

NEW: Virginia voters approved a redistricting measure, AP projects, clearing the way for a new congressional map that could help Democrats flip multiple Republican-held districts.

Thank you, all of you Virginia voters who knocked on doors, made calls, and waited in line, to respond to Trump and other Republicans' taunts of "We're gonna trick you out of your vote with gerrymandering in Texas" with a loud, proud, "HELL NO!"

Virginia voters approve Democrats' redistricting plan, giving the party a midterm election boost NBC News projects Democrats will be able to enact a new proposed map designed to net them up to four seats, as they push for control of the narrowly divided House.

“Virginia voters on Tuesday approved a Democratic redistricting plan that could allow the party to pick up as many as four new seats in the midterm elections”

Virginia voters will approve a map that gives Democrats the chance to net as many as four US House seats, CNN's Decision Desk projects, in a major boost to the party's effort to flip the House. https://cnn.it/4w1wU6P

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

It’s the consequences of our city planners thinking that convenience to suburbanites means more than the experience of existing in downtown.

Will take decades to unwind.

Working downtown has gotten so much bleaker in the last few years. I used to feel like I was in the middle of things, but now it just feels like the convergence of a bunch of high-speed freeway ramps

The Edifice Complex Monuments don’t create legacy; they merely memorialise it.

Very interesting piece.

“An ‘edifice complex’ emerges when individuals in positions of authority, uncertain of their place in history, attempt to pre-empt posterity’s judgment with grandiose construction projects. It reflects insecurity and egomania in equal measure.”
