After you vote yes, you can lobby the hell out of your legislators to adopt anti-gerrymandering practices that apply to everyone.

Virginia friends -- If you haven't already, go vote on the referendum today.

Vote yes, even if you think gerrymandering is bad. A no vote is a vote in favor of the current system, in which one party (the one that happens to be devoted to evil at present) does it with abandon and the other doesn't.

This is quite possibly the weirdest thing I have ever seen.

Finally, a pasta sauce company that meets my need for a device designed to record family conversations around the table and save them for all time.

Actually, Eowyn would be a good choice.

Even though Samwise is clearly the hero of the whole thing.

It's especially odd that they list "water buffalo" and "water buffalo pizzle" as separate ingredients, when the former clearly includes the latter. The latent logician in me recoils.

Amazing that in the national divorce the libs are getting the NFL, butter and cooking oil, being attracted to adult women, standup comedy, Bud Light, and now also Catholicism

The Inside Story of Five Days That Remade the Supreme Court

it is, among other things, incredibly striking to see that roberts was so solicitous of the burden the clean power plan might put on fossil fuel executives, when, a decade later, he is indifferent to the way trump’s moves have thrown hundreds of thousands of lives into turmoil.

Ingredients: .... Water Buffalo Pizzle ...

Looks like it is naturally flavored. (Look up "Pizzle" in the dictionary if necessary.)

To the best of my knowledge, in this context the word "bully" has only one meaning, namely "penis". I have no way of confirming that they're actually so flavored.

Rawhide Alternative Sticks. Bully Flavor.

In general I'm feeling allergic in this moment to experiencing politics as entertainment, but JD Vance's "feud" with the Pope (actually just JDV trying to start beef while the Holy Father goes about his day) is legit funny.

For decades, birthday party clowns folded balloons and played games. John Wayne Gacy is taking a different approach.

The instant obliteration of our congressionally mandated development assistance agency—by the world’s richest man and his cabal who “gave zero fucks” (Musk’s exact words) about the mass deaths they caused—is a historic atrocity that should stain everyone who touched it, forever.

i will vote for any candidate who offers up this slogan

Frankly, Orban should be grateful JD didn’t “Pope Francis” him iykwim

I think of us as being roughly the same age, but the slight difference makes all the difference here: I have no memory of the Apollo program.

I have friends who are hesitant because they don't like gerrymandering. Fine. Lobby your representatives for changes to the law that eliminate gerrymandering for everyone. But until such a solution is in place, the good guys can't unilaterally disarm, because the bad guys sure won't.

When we take back power, I do not want unity or healing, I want revenge.

I also don't want a lecture on "but that's just like Trump, he wanted revenge." He was wrong, we are right. It's different. Get a moral compass.

Revenge or sit down. Call it "justice" if you must, it's that too.

I have seen one good example of this plate

If you feel icky about voting Yes, vote Yes anyway, and lobby your representatives to find a solution that eliminates or reins in gerrymandering for everyone.

Virginia friends -- the referendum on redistricting looks close. I urge you to vote Yes.

Gerrymandering is bad, but as long as it exists, it's far worse to have it done by just the Republicans. Unilateral disarmament by Democrats doesn't solve the problem.

Had to look up "infandas".

(Should be "araneas" again, as in the original post. Curses.)

Sorry -- I mistyped the last word in my correction. It should be "Timent araneas". An instance of Muphry's Law.

I actually think it would have been better as "Timeant areanas": "Let them fear the spiders." Oddly, no one asked me.

The intended meaning is "They fear the spiders" (the Spiders being the name of our athletic teams). I suspect that the maker was misled by the English phrase "be afraid of" into thinking that the object of the verb "timeo" should be in the genitive case.

I just saw a University of Richmond student wearing a T-shirt with the motto "Timent aranearum." Can anyone who remembers their Latin better than I do confirm that this is wrong? It should be "Timent areanas".
