The number of Republicans crashing out about getting nakedly gerrymandered is, unironically, a sign that we need to do more of it. You guys are correct! This shit sucks! Welcome to the party, pals! We can all stop doing it any time you like!
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.
They think you're stupid.

Yeah, I sure am anti AI, you got me 👍
Quiet Posters feed not working

If you wonder why the "Quiet Posters" feed doesn't work for you anymore, it is because the @why.bsky.team subscribed to an anti-anti-ai block list, rendering it useless for over 300 000 users. Good job bsky team!!

Gonna spend the next two years spamming every elected Dem about the concept of "damnatio memoriae." Chisel his name off every inscription. Build over the various Trump Towers like they're Nero's Golden House. Remove him from physical memory, not to forget but as a sign of disrespect to the man.
User dratsab huffman asks the question: To amuse myself i researched revacholian nationalism as well as measure head's race theories etc etc and focused my character on "traditionalism". Anyway, ive noticed that if i ever click dialogue options that are in tune with my character's political compass, i lose morale. Whats the point of having this as a mechanic if its going to be so detrimental and feels like the character doesnt believe he actually is this or something... is there anyway to overcome that kind of morale loss?
Recalcitrant Jester replies: Being a fascist is a deeply demoralizing experience. You have to not only radically alter your worldview to make reality fit into your unhinged schema, but that worldview is predicated on the notion that the weakest, most unworthy degenerate worms on the planet are somehow overpowering and humiliating you on a moment-by-moment basis. In mechanical terms too, the lowered morale also reduces your volition score—the more you indulge in your delusions, the less you are able to exercise self-control and self-awareness. The point of fascism being mechanically detrimental—the ludonarrative theme—is that fascism is an unequivocally self-destructive ideology, the practice of which only serves to nurture that self-destructive urge and turn it outward. It's not like Dark Side points in KotOR where you can access cool new abilities and get to enjoy being such a nasty lil rascal; you are not supposed to enjoy being a fascist in Disco Elysium. Fascism is the act of self-deception in service of making your own life more painful, solely for the payoff of making life more painful for people you dislike.

I’ve had the same editor since 1967. Many times he has said to me over the years or asked me, Why would you use a semicolon instead of a colon? And many times over the years I have said to him things like: I will never speak to you again. Forever. Goodbye. That is it. Thank you very much. And I leave. Then I read the piece and I think of his suggestions. I send him a telegram that says, OK, so you’re right. So what? Don’t ever mention this to me again. If you do, I will never speak to you again

The Democrats sense that they're gonna cruise to midterm victory by doing nothing and offering nothing and are using it as a freebie to punch left to make sure the voters don't get any ideas.

modern day proverbs
Apropos of nothing, if the creator of something you cherished turns out to be a horrible person, the answer isn't to close your hearts for fear of disappointment, it's to love more. Love with abandon, because there's always new art to find, love so much as to always outweigh the disappointments. ❤️
Further building upon SSC's expertise in miniaturization, paracausal technology, and fashion sense, the "Maidlas" variant of the Atlas chassis frame is exclusive to SSC operatives and their employers. Designed to fit into any high pressure social situation, they provide both unobstrusive and attractive executive assistant elements to any medium to high risk meetings and events. The pilot is wearing a standard issue reinforced dress with armor plating add-ons. A pure white apron covers the front of the outfit, and a flicker field projector is integrated into the smart-threads of the apron. The woman is wearing a helmet to complement the hardsuit, ensuring full function despite any environmental degradation. The maid is equipped with a Terashima Blade, rapier-class, as well as a GMS tactical knife as a melee sidearm. Her bodysuit integrates IPSN synthetic muscle netting, as well as provides physical reinforcement support to the body during maneuvers, especially when the heels-integrated Jaeger Kunst 1 system is in operation. Most of the maid outfit is of a standard, victorian-dress style. There are accents of silver and gold for armor plating, a red ribbon on her upper chest, and a bubble canopy helmet that provides clear fields of view, as well as ensuring the pilot can look their best. Additional systems including auto-cleaning features (works for blood,oil, and greywash nanites), structural damage baffles (to ensure the maid always looks their best despite any battle damage), and others can be requested for additional costs. Allegations of these maids functioning as spies towards their employers are NOT substantiated and any allegations regarding this will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Damn that sounds great to run and potentially awful to play, especially since the 40kRPGs are not particularly great.
