Two things can be true:
Congress should pass uniform, national legislation reining in partisan gerrymandering; and
Until that happens, or every state adopts an independent redistricting commission, neither party is going to (or, frankly, should) unilaterally disarm.
Aside from who started it, states like CA and VA putting a counter-gerrymander up to a referendum, where people are told and can make a decision on the context for why it's being done, has vastly more democratic legitimacy than state legislators rushing it through because they got bullied by POTUS.
We’re defending Western Civilization by kicking Plato and Shakespeare out of university classes.
Post the best picture you have ever taken of your pet
Man, I want the next sequence, when kitty absolutely mauls both teams and the whole board like the meteor we wish for when Ohio State plays Michigan.
Mamdani: If the NYC apartment you keep solely for bi-yearly affairs with your mistress costs over 5 million dollars, you gotta pay more tax
NYPD officer who’s been on disability since 2006 because he stomped too hard on a lady during an arrest and fucked up his ankle: This is a travesty
Same on Ali.
I also dig Carey Mulligan.
Clavicular is a 20 year old child and famous for no good reason, not due to any particular celebration-worthy talent. He is a victim of a form of mental illness that is exacerbated by attention. However, if I come up with a good joke about him, I will post it.
What did you think of s1?
I watched all of it, back then, and remember it kept me interested. But looking back on it, I can't really say what I thought of it one way or the other.
Good for him but I am tired of learning about all the ways a 41-year-old candidate for U.S. Senate supposedly has a lot more growing and learning to do. Maybe do that before the Senate? And maybe try out a lower office before then?
Or maybe we just watch him blossom into another Sinema/Fetterman.
It's hard out here for a blog. I dig that you all have kept grinding to find the least enshittified tech.

Oooh, this is the only endorsement I needed to put it on the watchlist.

One of my faves
I love the way Mamdani treats religion in his messaging.
It’s pretty interesting to compare Easter messages from political leaders and then consider which ones the media treats as being out of the mainstream or dangerous
Dang, lots there I've never heard of. Digging in & will browse more, thanks
Good call, thanks Treb
Wha? Wow.
Well, I get it tbh. Part of my experience lately in this sandwich generation is noticing how much more our parents are resembling toddlers. The way they point at stuff for us to look at & such. Miss Ellie goin back to her roots feels right.

Surreal reading of si dot com as ai dot com hittin pretty real atm
Wait, wait, wait... one of Sports' biggest assholes of the last 20 years caught an epic L and whined about it?
Don't care how shoddy Dawn Staley's bedside manner is, there are thousands of fans here for watching her clip that douche.
get some!
Amazing story, amazing writing by Eric Neel, and amazing transparency from CeCe for sharing all this. Dag, it got me in the feels!
Not sure how, but I'm only learning about the details of this Boozer family today. As an IVF parent who was offered (for more $ ofc) genetic testing for my kidney disease, in case I wanted to 'deselect' based on results, this story is blowing my mind!

I'm with this but I really want to keep the cultural exchange aspect of the Peace Corps. I need Albany, GA's finest idiots to work at In-n-Out in Medford, OR & the surliest Bronx teenagers to staff Disneyland.

Man, I just rocked up in the islands, but I took a break from the sun and I'm seeing all these awesome No Kings posts and I'm just like here like 'hell yeah, man'
To whoever did this at the #NoKings in Boston: Thank you.❤️
It made me tear up. And we must to be reminded of needless damage to humanity that results directly from the careless, bellicose bluster coming from the Pentagon and White House.
Happy hour is aptly named
Laptop showing wrestling, blogging comments, and a tasty beverage
At my kid's volleyball tourney, the arena's parental bar is too crowded & too hoopy, so I packed my own wrestling watching picnic. My boys know I'm skipping their 7p game for other priorities.
