@60_healey @trouble_man90 That’s how gerrymandering works. You pack your opponents into fewer districts they win with higher numbers and spread yours out so you have a lot of districts where you might have closer races, but still are expected to win.

@trouble_man90 The two are actually opposites Virginia took areas with longstanding R representation and made geopolitically bizarre district with no commonality of interests within the district to create a D district Texas diluted strong R voting districts to make larger R leaning districts

Yea we joke about the double standard in the media, but this is legitimately insane.

@TheRecoveringP1 @esjesjesj

@esjesjesj Absolutely not. The KKK was an evil and racist group of Democrats that plaqued the lives and committed terror against black families in the south. 100% real

Okay so the claim here is that the KKK was just a bunch of nice guys until the SPLC made them racist?

@_uncoolniece Honestly, he is dead. Listening to his music isn’t going to fund the further abuse of kids. You boycot shitty artists and companies to stop their behavior and prevent their harm.

The OTHER thing is, I mean you can still listen to the music either way, no one’s really gonna try to draw that line in this case

The thing with MJ is even if there was zero sexual anything (doubtful), all the stuff we all saw with our own eyes and heard him say was already not how you act with kids! Especially the troubled kids with unstable home lives he particularly favored

@modernhistory About 25 years?

What happened to Tom Hardy?

@BasedMikeLee This is the result of “hard on crime” rhetoric and policies. Incarcerated people aren’t treated like real people.

I got a call tonight from a constituent whose son is in federal prison He explained that he hasn’t heard from his son in several days (which is unusual for him), that his son suffers from multiple, potentially life-threatening health conditions that are going untreated in prison, and that he needed to know whether his son was still alive He sent me the main switchboard number for the prison in question (which is on the east coast), and I called the number Someone answered almost immediately I explained who I was and why I was calling, and in particular that I needed to know whether this particular inmate was alive and well The guy scolded me three times for calling “too f***ing late” and refused to tell me anything Only when I persisted did he agree to check his records to confirm that the inmate in question was alive and well After checking a list briefly, he came back to the phone and said “he’s here, and he’s alive and receiving the treatment he needs” (His parents assure me that that’s simply not true) I asked politely if someone could leave the inmate a message asking him to call his parents in the morning He said, “it’s too late” I responded, “I don’t mean now, I mean in the morning” He scolded me again for calling too late, and then told me I’d have to call tomorrow and track down the inmate’s counselor I asked him if he could relay the note to the counselor for me He scolded me again for calling too late and asked me to call back tomorrow to track down the inmate’s counselor I asked for the guy’s name He refused to answer I asked for his name again He hung up on me That’s not okay Sadly, this is not the first time I’ve had this experience when talking to people from the U.S. Bureau of Prisons on behalf of constituents with an incarcerated family member suffering from a severe medical condition And each occasion, I’ve been treated at best with dismissiveness and at worst with contempt and profanity Has anyone else experienced this with the U.S. Bureau of Prisons?

@VoxPrudentia The important part is they are all labeled incorrectly. So you pick the a/o box, it has to be only A or O. If it’s A, then: Label - has A/O - A A - O O - O/A Otherwise one box wouldn’t have been wrong initially.

Maybe I'm just dumb, but I feel like this doesn't explain the task that's being asked of you at all?

@esjesjesj That’s a cool fucking picture, okay?! What is wrong with people! (I know what is wrong with people, the question is rhetorical)

There are 10,000 pictures and videos of the launch including ones that she herself took but for some reason when she flipped the camera around for literally 2 seconds to take a good unique picture of how she felt in the moment it made a lot of insecure men extremely angry

@NC_Renic You’ll take my Oxford comma from my cold, dead, and rotting hands.

First they came for the em dash and I did not speak out. Then they came for the Oxford comma…

@caulixtla @mykael_yuddy I feel like the cannonball thought experiment gives you a basic enough idea of how it works to not fall for this dumbass meme?

@mykael_yuddy We’re having a discussion about this right now, about whether or not people can understand orbits without first year calculus. I’m saying “no”—there’s a reason The Feynman Lectures on Physics teach basic calculus—but other people think “yes”. x.com/caulixtla/stat…

Your inability to understand science is not a valid argument against it.

@mattxiv Was this Vance’s plot all along?

straight men do not love women they love eyeliner

It turns out you can, in fact, make this shit up.

@TakedownMRAs We wish…

"We are being oppressed by Sabrina Carpenter"

@KatieMiller Why do we even have laws when we could just follow the word of the fü… I mean president?!

Why even have elections if any district court judge can invalidate the Will of the People?

@dieworkwear @oliviakrolczyk_ To be fair, Donald Trump should be bullied.

@oliviakrolczyk_ donald trump wears make up you dumb ass

If we evolved from apes, how come apes aren’t still morphing into humans? Why don’t we see human/ape hybrids in various stages of evolution in the wild?

@j23795712 @JacquiDeevoy1 When you say “mistakes” what do you mean? What sort of “mistakes” are you are expecting?

They will claim “oh, it’s different apes!” Ok. So with all this evolutiony stuff going on there has to be mistakes. Where are all the mistakes? Not one? We haven’t unearthed even one mistake - ever? Ok. So maybe we missed them. So you say we evolved from a single cell. Where are all the two cell organisms? Three cell? Four cell? Five cell? We only have one cell and a trillion cells - none in between? Evolution is sounding kind of far fetched.

@MattPolProf It’s not a bubble, it’s propaganda. Every time a democrat is called a “Marxist”, “socialist”, or “communist” you are seeing a part of a decades long project to indoctrinate their base into believing everything to the left of Regan might as well be Mao.

I'm always kind of struck by how in a bubble American centrists have to be if they think the Democrats are a radically left wing party...

@benCBai @rand_longevity (We being people who do math broadly, I don’t actually do a lot of work in the complex plane)

@benCBai @rand_longevity Note: we actually do understand imaginary complex numbers pretty well. Why do you think we don’t?

I think physics and math are gonna be solved in the next few years
