I was not expecting @josie.zone to have me making the connection between what Vince McMahon made pro wrestling and the rise of shit like Q within three pages, but yeah. It fits. Neokayfabe has broken people.

Remember: Texas is not a red state. Texas is a massively voter-suppressed state, with a lot of people working very hard and very thanklessly to fix that.

Trump can say he'll distance himself from Project 2025 as much as he wants, but in his last term he appointed every faithful FedSoc judge he could get his hands on, and that's basically the entire game.

Recognizing a verbal misstatement and immediately correcting it is not a sign of cognitive deficit. It's actually evidence against it.

... today I learned that I went to the same school as the Prime Minister of the UK. Middle school, and with enough age difference that he was long gone by the time I was there, but still.

The employment angle alone is really bad, but adding in that much of an age gap makes a difference as well. It's undeniably over the line from my perspective.

I was checking the BBC's map, set to "changed hands", and was very confused by there being one constituency that changed TO the tories. Until I looked it up, and the incumbent, who'd been expelled from the Labour Party, had pulled a Ralph Nader. Hope she's satisfied.

Watching the British election returns I feel compelled to point out that the 650 person House of Commons represents 67 million people and the 435 person House of Representatives in the United States represents 333 million. Replace the Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929. We deserve representation.

Also, if the demographics your whisper network look nothing like the demographics of the perpetrator's victims, you don't have a whisper network, you have a gossip mill.

Judging folks for not knowing the thing "everyone knew" in your whisper network is a great way to tell the people whose safety you don't care about that you also feel morally superior to them.

One of my favorite cases. Another good one was the case over whether darts was a game of chance (Bad, illegal, etc.) or a game of skill (Good, legal). Part of the evidence was bringing a darts player into court, setting up a temporary board, and having people challenge him to make specific throws.
