I mean, look at what Desantis did with redistricting. Even if it all gets thrown out after litigation for bastardizing everything we know about fair district laws, it's served its purpose for this cycle.

reminds me of the time Mike Bloomberg won American Samoa

My recollection is that the GOP won the case because the Chief Justice unexpectedly died a couple months ago so the top court deadlocked and the appellate decision remained controlling. Something like that.

I was big in the aim era, but I skipped the tinychat era.

I just voted. Because Andrew Cuomo shit on democracy by making it prohibitively difficult for (real) third parties to make it to the ballot, it was probably the simplest ballot I've ever filled out. Just Dem/GOP candidates for everything (on their main party line and on the Conservative/WFP lines). One statewide ballot proposal for a $4.2b environmental bond act and one local town proposal. I was out and back before my laptop could idle into sleep mode. It's disgusting that super urban environments elsewhere develop multi-hour lines because they don't have enough resources and then the alternative voting opportunities get challenged in court.

Well yes, but it's another thing to actually like see the intent spelled out in writing. Regardless, I pulled an Odin and uninstalled the app. On top of the data thing, everything I use it for can be done in a browser and the absence of push notifications will probably be a net positive on my mental health and attention span.

here's a thread that makes me want to delete everything off my phone and chuck it into the sea

I feel like there's a play to make here, but someone's gotta tell me what it is

I'm going to troll your twitter until i get bored
