The Associated Press is reporting that the Virginia Redistricting Referendum has passed!
Virginians land yet another blow to Donald Trump’s attempts to maintain power over Congress.
One winner: Virginia State Senator & dedicated poster L. Louise Lucas, who spearheaded the “10-1!” push
With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.

A breaking update from @timheidecker.bsky.social.
Q: As of today, who controls the Strait of Hormuz?
LEAVITT: We expect that the strait will be opened immediately
Q: Who controls the strait right now?
LEAVITT: *refuses to answer*
This is going to go very quickly.
La Crosse County, one of the most populous liberal counties, went +26 for the liberal last year. Taylor is now up 37%.
Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.
ALL ROAD USERS.
What about painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.
For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.

the fucking fuck

please stop this ride I'd like to get off
I hope this is driving home to folks that anti-DEI/anti-woke are functioning mostly as a way to make racism more palatable by framing it as a kind of defensive reaction to an imagined unfairness.
OK for fun: top funniest tweet ever? I am torn between "moon's haunted" and "Denise I was at your wedding."
Just so you understand, this is as if you prepared for argument in front of a panel that included Cookie Monster, and Cookie Monster asked you a question about cookies, and you had not thought about cookies in advance.
not a big Hillary Clinton fan but the way the media is protecting the public from the details of Kash fucking Patel's personal emails is impossible to ignore
so somebody at the Times (that somebody being Sulzberger) decided our national Paper of Record needed a dedicated bluesky account to lie about trans people's healthcare
at this point the New York Times would be less bigoted if they just started publishing slurs
Mayor Mamdani, NYC DOT Commissioner Flynn, and others stand at a podium with the Brooklyn Bridge in the background.
We’re building the Manhattan-side bike lane and pedestrian entrance to the Brooklyn Bridge in time for the World Cup.
New Yorkers deserve to enjoy the game on their feet, on their bikes, and with ease.

NYT: Why It’s So Hard to Reopen the Strait of Hormuz
By Agnes Chang, Adina Renner and Samuel Granados
Geography is strategy
"The strait is narrow and shallow, forcing ships within miles of Iran’s mountainous shores, a landscape that favors asymmetric warfare tactics."
This would be incredibly easy to foresee for everyone who managed to realize what fuel is and that renewable technologies do not require fuel to operate but y'know thinking isn't popular these days.
I really enjoyed this YouTube essay on the historical intersection of feminism and bicycling. This history channel is focused on London in particular. youtube.com/watch?v=j7C9...
The DOJ released evidence, which the FBI deemed credible, that the President of the United States sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl AND she was afraid to talk about it because Trump would kill her—and it’s somehow not the biggest scandal in American history?
Time to discuss the realities of, "So You Want to Launch a Ground Invasion of Iran."
1. First, of course, you need ground connected to Iran. That means Iraq, Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan or Pakistan.
"Who gives a shit about foreign countries targeting American soldiers in the reckless war we started?" is just a hell of a take for a White House press secretary
Now that they're trying to pretend their war is not a war, they've gone back to calling it the Defense Department.
Trump gets mad when asked Russia and Iran working together to kill US troops because he wants to talk about college sports instead
