what if we made an entire administration out of nixon and herbert hoover

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.

Virginia is for haters (laudatory)

most gerrymanders are republican legislators saying fuck the voters

these ones are the voters saying fuck republican legislators

Every defense of the electoral college as not wanting “New York” and “California” to decide things for Real Americans is based on this and somehow those making them are taken seriously by the Serious People

Rural voters are not dumb rubes being taken for a ride by the ‘elite’. They’re voting their interests. It’s just that their interests are xenophobia and racism, not what you would prefer their interests to be.

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.

Iran going after Bsky is a genuinely funny waste of resources.

These new districts are real stupid. I hate them. I’ll be happy when we return to the great districts we have now. But these new districts are necessary. Perhaps this will bring Republicans to the table to support any of our many efforts to end gerrymandering.

Starting a mid-decade redistricting war only to end up with -1 seats is the same fine strategic genius and subtle grasp of game theory that brough us the Strait of Hormuz.

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

“enhanced interrogation” instead of torture walked so “detention centers” instead of concentration camps could run.

Due to pressure from environmental groups, this dipshitical plan has been abandoned.

Maybe we'll keep some InfoWars content up.

Yeah, the Taliban demolishing the Buddhas of Bamiyan got more attention than anything else they did pre-9/11. People don’t like the desecration of cultural heritage by violent thugs.

Sometimes the world spontaneously generates a political cartoon and we just need to run with it

UBI makes a lot of sense as a way of defragging an overly complex welfare state; it makes no sense as a response to AI.

Every AI commercial gaslights you into thinking you're an idiot. Before you had access to AI you were too stupid to find your girlfriend's makeup, or boil an egg, or pick a shirt. Every commercial starts from the premise of "Hey, so you know how you're the dumbest fucking fuck to ever do it?"

It's been so interesting to watch this unfold. Barnes & Noble and other big book chains shut indies down in the the 1990s (and on) and then Amazon came along and ate up all the book market share. Now people tired of big corporations are creating demand for more indies

Imagine living in a world where there were some sort of union of nations or international criminal court so people couldn’t constantly violate cease fires and commit crimes against humanity without consequences
