“A different way of calculating percentages”

Twitter uses algorithms that ensure that 90% of the most visible accounts will be on the far right politically. Here's why Bluesky has an intellectual diversity problem.

This is ACTUAL merch for the upcoming Animal Farm movie.

Dems just forced House Republicans to pull votes on a bill to weaken the Endangered Species Act, after their support buckled. Happy Earth Day! 🌎 🌏🌎

Right-wingers will believe anything they hope is true.

Left-wingers will believe anything they fear is true.

Mr. Krabs looking tiredly at a sign that says “”0 Days Without Nonsense”

This is the new Bluesky slogan

Kind of funny to imagine how much this would be blowing up on here if the same quote were given by someone BSky likes.

But again, if you want to split Dems into ‘fight’ and ‘don’t fight’, there is no conceivable universe where Jeffries isn’t one of the Fight-iest guys there is

They think you're stupid.

We can’t support Dems unless they’re literally perfect. Now Hamas…

One tried to argue that East Germans were happier and had more leisure time than West Germans. Their proof? East Germans drank twice as much alcohol.

i think it is actually totally fine if urban areas with their higher density populations and higher levels of education have a proportionally greater say in national politics than less-dense and less-educated rural areas

Lefties trying to appeal to the rural working class are like the secular version of the "Youth pastor voice" meme.

You in fact, to not have to hand it to Tucker Carlson.

BUT you can acknowledge people like him feeling regret, or even just claiming to, is a sign the tide is turning.

A man in India made thousands of dollars scamming 'super dumb' MAGA fans on IG with a fake AI influencer

• Helped pay for his med school

• Tried a liberal version but it didnt work

“Democrats know it’s AI slop .. The MAGA crowd is made up [of] super dumb people. And they fall for it"

I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals

Conservatives fantasize about dense, walkable small towns every Christmas when they watch a Hallmark movie and then wonder why they can't enjoy that in real life.

Amidst all the GOP whining tonight, a reminder that the Democrats would currently control the House were it not for the late, illegal GOP gerrymandering in GA & NC in 2024.

Dude, it's Superman. People were always going to talk about it.

Superman was around long before Snyder's movies and he'll be around long after.

A reminder while Republicans bitch about Dems finishing the redistricting fight they started: they have full control of gov’t— they can pass a law banning gerrymandering any time they want. They won’t. Republicans aren’t mad gerrymandering exists; they’re mad that they’re not the only ones using it.

Gosh, I guess sending a bunch of Gen Z fascists to fire people willy nilly in the Washington DC area - an area that NoVa depends on economically - had negative consequences for the political party that endorsed that.

Too bad, so sad.

NOVA is reeling from the DOGE cuts. I fully expected my neighbors to vote yes and they did. Virginia and California allowed voters to decide. Texas and Florida didn’t.

Every now and then I like to imagine bizarro world NYT headlines on this moment. “Conservatives Once Defended Gerrymandering, Until Virginia”

No! Wait! “Conservative Commentators Defended Gerrymandering, Until It Happened To Them.”

The article is just comparing statements exclusively from NoVa pundits with “who lives in a four bedroom home in Arlington” asides.

Sorry you have to learn what it means to deviate off the equilibrium path but it is quite necessary to teach that lesson.

Voters have once again handed President Donald Trump a loss in one of the defining fights of his second administration: the national congressional redistricting race. www.vox.com/politics/486...

Like most bullies, they think nobody will ever fight back and they're right MOST of the time.

We already have "land-based supersonic", it's called "high speed rail". We just have to actually fund it.
