Kathy Vetter was improperly vetted (or properly, if you’re the fucking ghouls who own the paper).

But can he do the fandango?

Lunatic fringe, this time with billions of dollars behind it.

A similar playbook is on display in Virginia. As was the case in California, Democrats are dominating the airwaves, with a $30 million advantage over Republicans. National party leaders have again joined the effort. "Republicans want to steal enough seats in Congress to rig the next election and wield unchecked power for two more years, but you can stop them by voting 'Yes," Obama says in the most-aired ad in Virginia, as images of Trump flash across the screen. Republicans, for their part, have cast the push for a new map as a Democratic power grab. "Richmond liberals want to eliminate competitive elections in Virginia," says an ad from Virginians for Fair Maps, the main Republican-aligned outside group in Virginia.

The writer admits that this is in response to Trump’s demand for more and better gerrymandering in red states, but still has to both-sides it.

Democrats Once Loathed Gerrymandering. Now They’re Pushing for It.

Pathetic. “In deep-blue California, the politics of redistricting in 2026 turned out to be quite simple: Democrats may dislike gerrymandering, but they despise Trump more.”

Boys will be boys. Gotta let them flex their muscles. Women get to be the clean-up crew when the boys make a mess.

“diatribe on circumcision” oh for goddess’ sake.

Also, mostly joking. A lifetime in prison without the possibility of parole is better.

Sure, I’d reserve it for someone like war criminal Hegseth. Or accomplice to murder Bovino.

Yup. Important context. I meant the “horseshoe theory” part was the joke.

Re-thinking my blanket opposition to capital punishment. It may be appropriate in some cases.

Monterey Park becomes the first city in California to ban "all data centers within city limits" Residents of the small enclave east of LA not only killed their city's proposed 250,000 square foot data center, they pushed city council to ban them altogether

Last night, after an hours-long public hearing, Monterey Park became the first city in California to pass an ordinance permanently banning data centers.

The city council voted unanimously to declare data centers a public nuisance, and to "prohibit all data centers within city limits."

I have a vague childhood memory of going to a place like that when I lived in Brooklyn. Not sure if that was it, but I remember driving through a park with animals on both sides.

For the asshole who wants everyone to know he’s an asshole.

One of the ways to tell if an expert is full of shit is to check his replies and see if he is engaging with peers questioning his conclusions.

Hackery, pure and simple.

You know, being an asshole online is a choice. You don’t have to be that way.

I have the exact same condition.
