This week on the AskConservatives subreddit, #conservatives are arguing anti-gerrymandering legislation will *increase* the likelihood of #gerrymandering. How you ask? Well they’re still working that part out… #usa #unitedstates #politics

C'est toi et moi

Je sais que c'est mon destin

Oh, tu es mon meilleur ami

Dans un monde que nous devons défendre Un cœur si pur

Notre courage nous sauvera
Tu m'apprends et je t'apprends
Attrapez-les tous
Ouais

It's Monday. You might hate your job. But at least you're not a russian general about to tell Putin that you lost the city you've claimed to have captured 4 times.

this, presumably, is why mr musk thinks americans are too dumb and h1bs are needed
This NYT story failed the reader by not digging deeper. One subject dropped out of college after one year (five years ago) and lists "Windows" as his skillset. Story should be: young conservatives who blame immigrants for their personal failures and whose lives won't be improved w/ fewer immigrants

I just finished Proto—such a good book about the history of the #indoeuropean languages and their speakers! I’ve read other books on the subject, but this recently published book makes me realize how much the field is still evolving. #protoindoeuropean #pie #linguistics by @laurainparis.bsky.social

I just upgraded from an iPhone 11 to a 17 Plus and man, the difference is stark. It’s hard to say how the phones would compare when new—it certainly seems like my iPhone 11 slowed down a lot over the years—but many things have improved significantly (camera, speakers, AI, USB-C, etc). #iphone #tech

People are giving Apple a lot of grief over its Liquid Glass design, but I’m very happy with it. I normally pay very little attention to design systems, but this one impresses with how natural it seems. #apple #liquidglass #design

Republicans: Democrats want open borders!

Also Republicans: Trump is just continuing Democrats’ border policies! Obama deported more people than Trump!

Republicans: No country can remain great while accepting droves of immigrants!

I got temp banned from r/AskConservatives for asking for evidence of a specific claim. And conservatives wonder why everyone thinks they are snowflakes… 🙄🤦‍♂️

When people ask my #politics, I tell them I’m #left of center, but not so far left that I trash any coalition I’m a part of the second my candidate has a slight lead in a mayoral race, by which I mean I’m not hellbent on losing national elections.

DEMOCRATS—hell yes, do it‼️

Force the full bill reading on the floor. No more Senators pretending they didn’t know what was in it when they voted.

📌 Senate Dems may make clerks read the entire budget bill out loud. Good. People want fight—this is one way to show it.

Such a good point on SCOTUS hypocrisy when it comes to Trump vs Biden:

They let a nationwide injunction kill Biden’s student loan relief when they had a chance to rule on it.

5 months into Trump’s presidency, suddenly nationwide injunctions are a grave threat to executive power and they must rule.
