Gerrymandering is the drawing of districts to unfairly favor one political party. Here’s how it hurts democracy. www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp...
This is the best explanation of gerrymandering you will ever see
By simplifying gerrymandering we see how problematic it really is.

With TSLA shares cratering, how much longer will journalists be obliged to refer to Elon Musk as the "World's Richest Man"?
Back of the envelope calculation shows that if Tesla shares fall below $217, he'll fall to #2.
TSLA closed today at 222, down 40 points, so tomorrow could be the day.

There hasn't been a single game in my life where I've thought, "Man I wish could ask this NPC absolutely anything I want and they'd respond."
Even if I had, it'd be novel for about 2 minutes.
I'll take 50 handcrafted lines from an actual writer than 1 million from a glorified chat bot any day.

In a world of heightened tensions, and increased East v West polarisation, cutting international aid is literally the worst thing Western democracies can do. We'll regret this massively in about 20 years.

I just cannot understand why this is not a national scandal, getting wall to wall coverage on the media. Instead we can get hours of detailed coverage on the LA fires. Labour are doing badly already. They don't need this free lifeline from the media.

It’s a tough time of year if you’re missing a loved one, so:
From "Tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom
As long as we can love each other, and remember the feeling of love we had, we can die without ever really going away. All the love you created is still there. All the memories are still there.

I'm done with claims by billionaires that they were driven into the arms of a fascist
Anyone who votes for fascism needs to just own that outright
Obviously when Trump starts canceling elections the fascists will finally cop to what they are, but if they could instead start now that would be great
