My thoughts (almost) exactly. Wild that the GOP didn’t even consider it a possibility.
on the balance i think partisan gerrymandering is bad but the only way it ends is if democrats weaponize it against republicans everywhere they can. wiping out republican lawmakers in blue states might bring the GOP to the table to end the practice.

The rules clearly say we act in bad faith, manipulating the system to give ourselves disproportionate power, and you pretend it's good faith, letting it happen while unilaterally restricting yourself in adherence to standards we say must be honored when it helps us and violate otherwise. No fair!

Woke up to the news that a web site I have no memory of registering for is changing its terms of service. So now I have to deal with that on top of everything else.

Across social media platforms, political posting is linked to affective polarization--extreme users post the most.
As polarized partisans increasingly dominate the conversation, casual users disengage and the online public sphere grows smaller, sharper, and more extreme. arxiv.org/html/2510.25...

I wrote about what I've been calling "The Everything Account"
If you're familiar with The Atmosphere, you already know how to get one, and this should hopefully help you explain it to others.

Using AI has made me realize how much I read passive-aggressiveness into text that is perfectly neutral. I have to remind myself that it's a simple generation of text, and that it is NOT being condescending or insinuating that it's all my fault.

The thing that shocks me most is that all of this incriminating stuff was sitting at the DOJ for 4 years and Biden & Garland were not cynical or ruthless enough to use it against Trump & Musk in the run up to 2024.
If only they were the evil ‘weaponizers of government’ that MAGA claimed they were!

It is wild to me that a military incursion to steal another country’s resources so the president can have a personal slush fund in Qatar is like the 5th most scandalous thing currently happening.
this is a straightforward impeachable offense for trump, vance, rubio and every other person down the line who enabled it and the framers would have thought impeachment for it did not go nearly far enough
Marco Rubio: "The oil proceeds are being deposited into an account that ultimately will become a US Treasury blocked account here in the US. We will say 'this is what this money can be spent on.' They will submit to us a budget request -- 'we want to use the money on these things.'"

I don’t think we should make concessions to the Masked Murderers Guild of America. I don’t think we should compromise so the Masked Murderers Guild of America stops using kidnapped kids from schools as bait. I thought this was already illegal. The Masked Murderers Guild of America should not exist.

IDK why right-wingers keep bringing up Obama's record deportations, it just shows that if you wanted to have a conservative immigration policy without partisan militias occupying cities and gunning people down in the streets you could do it and a lot of americans would be fine with it

I love how people are using their communities to reach people who might not have heard it otherwise. They're not going out of character and "sorry for the political post". They're posting exactly what the communities want and still making the point.
