love it

actually why should all of the empty parts of the country be states at all, just make 50 city-states and have the rest of the country be nowheresville

we need to gerrymander state boundaries

if we play our cards right we can probably drop the number of republican senators to 10ish

Fun fact about the "historic" covered bridge: it was uncovered until 1972, when Long Grove added the cover specifically to discourage trucks from using the bridge

looked at my profile and forgot i had changed my banner and was like well honestly i do need the reminder

good morning

well lmm is annoying in a very particular kind of way

where are you getting 311 reports from a century ago?

i love watching a 15 minute video about the political organization of a 2500 year old city that doesn't even have a blurb on wikipedia, and has exactly 2 english sources online

the thing i love about rednote is that unlike american social media, which is just rehashing stuff i can and probably already have looked up myself (and can read faster than they can summarize in a video) is they are pulling from sources i don't have access to or can't read myself

my politics were already idiosyncratic and rednote is making them so much more idiosyncratic

fuck it, we should actually read people's gas gauge when they enter illinois and tax them based on the gas they have in the car and are importing into illinois

the funniest part about this to me is that this would definitely end up in the supreme court because of the interstate commerce clause but in the meantime we could be fleecing people with out of state registrations for like $2 a gallon

oh also your credit card has to have a myanmar address

i don't think you should be allowed to get a city sticker or park on city streets with an out of state registration, make those people register their car in illinois

so myanmar has subsidized gas but you have to be driving a car that was bought in myanmar and also be a resident of myanmar, and i think making people prove their car was bought in illinois and they have an illinois license to save 15 cents per gallon or whatever would be extremely funny

good morning

that's a lot of words to say i agree

it's always been my perception that art about being an artist is mostly made by people who aspire to be an artist because they think it would make them interesting and not people who have the title of artist thrust upon them by others as a result of their drive to create art

What if Bella Hadid was Moroccan Ronaldinho

that's what I'm sayingggggg

come on guys, WHAT IF

what if cristopher columbus was chilean peja stojakovic

what if jair bolsanaro was malawi deng xiaoping

sorry someone showed me those posts any now im ruminating on insane "what if a person was actually a different person and from a different country than either of the two people in question" combinations

what if ilhan omar was turkish margaret thatcher

what if greg abbott was kiwi kwame nkrumah

sometimes i think assholes develop wisdom because they need to spend so much time reflecting on their behavior

like if i hadn't hear 75 other stories about maya angelou being an absolute terror i would assume this is a self-deprecating joke, but unironically i think she was just a terror

maya angelou was famously the worst guest speaker my college ever had, and ever since the first time i heard that i was like surely this is just misogyny and racism but literally every single story i've ever heard about maya angelou makes her sound like the biggest pain in the ass on the planet
