I’m not “addicted” to Twitter, it’s just way too fun to be on and it overrides literally anything else in terms of personal utility, it’s entirely rational of me to have an 8-hour screen time

we got trump talking about amnesty this shit is crazy
Trump: I think that’s something that’s actually doable.
Q: Doable to create some kind of legal status for the landscapers?
Trump: Yeah. When you go into a hotel and you have a woman that’s worked there as a… You know, as a maid, as a cleaner, as a this, as a that, as a waitress—a lot of good things, great jobs. And all of a sudden, they’re being taken out of the country. It’s tough. It’s a tough thing.
But there’s a group of people that I would say on the sort of pretty far right that would like everybody taken out.
Q: Do any of those people work in your administration? Are they in the building with us right now?

He needs to return the crypto scam money to the public treasury. It was the most egregious thing a president has ever done. $1B a week before inauguration.

the optimal dem strategy on gerrymandering seems obvious to me:
we can end gerrymandering once and for all by passing a national ban in Congress.
and tell Trump that if he vetoes it, we will move forward with our own gerrymanders in every state we just flipped last week

Rightists have trouble understanding why Charlie Kirk jokes are funny.
Maybe I can explain it in a way you can understand.
People make jokes when a situation is absurd, and more specifically, when others demand you say something untrue about a person and treat them with more respect than they deserved.
George Floyd died. You conservatives thought jokes about St Floyd were funny. In your mind, he was a criminal and a drug addict, and leftists had treated him like the Second Coming of Jesus. Or think about how you'll see a trans person playing basketball with biological women, which leftists tell you is fine and normal, and how funny it is to laugh at this.
Similarly, most Americans do not share your personal admiration for Charlie Kirk. They think he was a bigot and a conspiracy theorist. He was also not in any way a thinker or someone who contributed positively to the discourse, but a political hack who formed his opinions based on tribal considerations and owning the libs.
When Charlie Kirk died, you went around cancelling people for being insufficiently sad. Even if someone said they were sad about his death and they just thought he didn't deserve to be admired, in those cases rightists still tried to destroy people's lives. Republicans in Congress started calling for a statue of Charlie Kirk in the US Capitol, and others introduced legislation to put his face on coins.
As of April 2026, an AP article identified more than 60 Kirk-themed bills introduced across over 20 states. Among these was one in Florida that threatened to take away funding from universities if they didn't rename a road after Charlie Kirk.
Outside of your bubble in which Charlie Kirk was a great thinker and leader, this is all ridiculous.
So when people at a Chappelle show hear the name "Charlie Kirk," they're not thinking about the human being and father. They're associating the name with rightists trying to create a cult of personality, and are employing humor, which is common when people are facing a movement that is trying to tell them what to do.

The govt's cynical partisan attempt to disenfranchise voters has resulted in 300k fewer special votes and a 4% fall in turnout for no operational benefit and no cost saving
Its only effect was to prevent the wrong people from voting, as intended

Without Bishop I think there's a strong case to abandon the new RM system and go back to the RMA

The greens can use their historic result to ask an historic number of questions from opposition. It doesnt get any better than this

"Special votes will have a greatly diminished effect compared to previous elections" is really saying the quiet bit aloud
