People like to blame gerrymandering for much of our political mess, but partisan sorting is real. People move to where they are safer, which makes red states redder and blue states bluer. So, the Senate becomes more fixed, the electoral college more consequential, and more primary outbidding.

That’s like calling a cross-burning “a gathering of locals peacefully expressing their Southron identity.”

Does nobody call McDonald’s “McDo” like it was spelled McDoe or McDough? Weirdest I’ve heard is “MacDonald’s” Anyway does a screencapped post count as a meme? Maybe that is my moral philosophy. If not, Gregor Samsa getting crushed when he drops his phone on his face definitely is.

This is a great article.

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy.

I think the Caddy 'Vettes were cool.

The American Century of Humiliation is off to a dunk-filled start.

one of my dumbest, for you.

Gwen did a fantastic job reporting on what has genuinely become an internal refugee crisis among trans people. I know I complain about Sound Transit and bike infrastructure or whatever a lot but like, making my move to Seattle when I did saved my life.

you guys Elon Musk has racist thoughts about a movie he hasn't seen, let's spend a lot of time taking them seriously

What I am taking from this is that high-info people (anyone working in politics) will never have any clue what motivates no-info people. As the dumbest and most degenerate person ever to run for president, Trump had a unique appeal to no-infos. Everyone else will struggle to recreate this.

36 Republicans voted to keep child brides legal.

*whispers* so far I have found late Canon and Nicca screwmount rangefinders to be every bit the same quality and feel as Leicas, and one of those bodies and a Leica lens is the compromise to make if you're savvy and on a budget.

Surely there is a place on this internet where one could find lovingly-crafted fanfic about just this scenario, right? And BlueSky would know how to find it? Surely there is a "Murder Me Virginia" subreddit? Surely. I hope they are hiring.

Mousecow is comfy in the bathroom today. #EverybodyLovesMousecow

Lost in the news this week: the real story behind Palm Beach International becoming Trump International is not the renaming. It is the coercion that produced it and the extraordinary terms hidden inside the deal.

Gorka posted his way into power. It’s kind of astonishing. He had no academic credibility, no experience in the military or IC, no interagency know-how, no language skills, no insight on CT that wasn’t met by quick derision. Like Pete Hegseth, he ignored convention, went to the cameras, & talked.

Getting as state inspection at a quick place & there is totally a mustang 2 in that bay! #weirdcarbs

When these guys see someone other than a white guy holding a job, they automatically assume that person is a “DEI hire” who is only in that position because of “reverse racism”. Clearly the most qualified people for any gig from politician to pilot are white folk who stand to pee.

tl,dr: Someone posted a picture of a real painting, claimed it was AI, asked people why it wasn't as good as real art and everyone took the bait. It's a great example of the eagerness to mindlessly join online dogpiles... but also says nothing about the validity or lack thereof of AI "art" itself.

All scrolling is doomscrolling if the world sucks enough

I’m sorry, but I just checked the New Testament and it is absolutely silent on the topic of petroleum pipelines.

Top idea/tip. Pretend you've just been on the telly, by putting a bit of Gaffa tape over a logo on your clothing.

Straight up making fun of the guy in public to his face.

*There's* the juxtaposition I was waiting for. #carsky #weirdcarBS

Well, I know what’s for lunch today.

So if China gets to slip the blockade, and India gets to slip the blockade, and Russia has a landlink with Iran, who exactly is it that is going to apply 'pressure' to Iran of the kind that will get them to stop, and why isn't that country floating 2-3 MEUs to Iran right now

we got rid of the president of unavoidable high grocery prices to elect the president of avoidable high grocery prices

a) this is disgustingly racist. b) Priest and Christian theologian here, and “Christian values” and indeed Christianity are absolutely not genetically transmitted. c) the only Christian society that has seriously tried to claim it is was Spain post-Reconquista, bc they were disgustingly racist.

How in the name of all that’s holy does anyone take that weirdo tryhard Gorka seriously? I hold him in that special kind of contempt that people who drive 5-speed 5.0s reserve for people who put “ART WAR” vanity plates on 4-cyl automatic secretarymobiles.

If “Okay, Boomer” assumed physical form.

I've said this before, but this is the /ur/-fear of every Eastern European, ever since the Teutonic Order's Drang nach Osten: the invader turning our children into them.

I’m sorry, but I just checked the New Testament and it is absolutely silent on the topic of petroleum pipelines.

“they’re all crooks”, great, stay home! “they’re all the same”, great, stay home! “there’s no difference between the parties”, great, stay the fuck home, and use anti-cut gloves when prepping your dinner!

We have to think about the authoritarian contingent in America the same way we thought about the Soviet Union during the Cold War.
