@energeiologian @I_love_fullbush Tbf even if they had Latin clothes in the game, Elagabalus was notably Eastern in custom (one of the first things that out the senate off) so Greek garb makes sense

@lumintella @CriticalRole It is a good thing Laura is with the seekers because she probably would have insisted they all destroy their dice midway through the session

@ECaliberSeven @Josh20Left First thing a hypothetical trifecta (in any red leaning state) should do is redraw all the maps & dismantle the gerrymanders

@ChazNuttycombe Is there a reason (beyond population) why so few responses are from the southernmost county?

Also, I like to extend some slightly belated thanks to @davesredist for making their precinct shapefiles public and shareable, this project would not have been possible without that.

For the past several months, I have been experimenting with redistricting-by-algorithm & graph theory, and I ended up with a pretty complete C++ library for algorithmic redistricting. I encourage anyone to look at it and try their hand at developing an algorithm.

The GOP cut funding to the IRS because *audits work* and they fundamentally don't believe rich people should have to play by the rules.

@ChazNuttycombe I just want SEPTA to get funded properly for once

Even if it were constitutional for the govt to pay for political campaign ads (which it's not), it's unquestionably unconstitutional for Trump to spend taxpayer dollars on things that Congress did not appropriate money for. And it appropriated no money for campaign ads.

Susan Collins has voted to confirm 60+ anti-abortion judges in her time in the Senate, and now she's voted for 3 more just since last week.

Nice to see Senator Collins was able to take a break from lying about corruption to give a lifetime appointment to another anti-choice judge.

In the world where the Hatch Amendment happened, Mamdani would be a perennial name in the “future Democratic presidential candidates” conversation

The Mayor of New York receives foreign dignitaries like a head of state. As it fucking should be.

[ProPublica @propublica]

New: ProPublica revealed that the FBI was circling Sen. Collins over a defense contractor’s donations — until Trump gutted the unit in charge. Collins has since mustered a defense with a series of incorrect and misleading claims. https://t.co/y05D5ErEUA

@ferald_gord Hoping this line comes up so Troy can hit her with the “I do not understand how anyone would take the word of a felon who’s been convicted thirty seven times.”

@Igi_POLCOM Apparently it’s far stupider than that
