They'll conclude that Labour won because Conservatives lost the far/populist right vote, and therefore redouble their efforts to ingratiate themselves with literally the worst people.

yes, we boiled the planet, but it was worth it to make a machine that, instead of adding two plus two, takes the statistical average of every answer to questions containing "what" "is" "two" and "plus" from a database of illegal cell phone transcripts and returns a fake nude pic of a high schooler

Dear sweet Jesus it is actually physically painful watching US based commentators trying to puzzle out if people on the obvious right in UK politics are right wing or not. Apparently can't parse anything short of covered in bald eagle tattoos and actively shooting guns as conservative

That terrible conventional wisdom was a major reason why I chose to specialize in redistricting. Republicans gerrymandered half the districts and Democrats just one tenth! They won congressional/legislative majorities with fewer votes than Dems in MI, NC, NH, NY (coalition with IDC), OH, PA, & WI

2012 was particularly egregious. Project REDMAP delivered gerrymanders in 7 swing states that were near 50/50 but gave GOP a 2-1 advantage. Mother Jones spotted this immediately, but political scientists wallowed in denial, said it was just rural vs. urban geography.

The discourse around biden needing more sleep is fully insane. Does no one remember "Executive Time," the thing Trump spent the majority(!) of his schedule on where he would just watch TV and tweet? Dude was categorically unable to fulfill any of the demands of the office and the press barely cared

Holy shit, the Supreme Court actually wrote that Trump telling Pence to claim the wildly unconstitutional power to single-handedly reject certified Electoral College votes, thereby overthrowing Constitutional democracy, can't be illegal because POTUS and VP talking about it makes it an official act.

It must suck to be a real journalist at a place like WaPo or NYT considering the opinion columnists there. It would be like working at a grocery store except there's one guy who shits and pisses on the floor all day long and somehow he gets paid 10 times more than you

Compare this to when Trump says something like “we’re gonna catch Goofy and execute him for his crimes folks” and people in the press go “Mr. Trump seemingly analogized criminals to a Disney character as he called for harsher legal penalties”

Several students who took my classes before I earned my doctorate have taken to calling me Dr. Mills with this super obvious emphasis on 'Doctor,' and it's actually super endearing and charming. It's like, 'Good morning, DOCTOR Mills.'

Everyone watching any Bond movie: this is utterly unrealistic, no one would stand there and say exactly how they were going to do some awful thing, the Incredibles even made a joke about monologuing. Everyone experiencing reality: Oh. Oh, I see.

tell me about someone you love. it doesn't need to be romantic--in fact, I'd prefer to hear about friendship loves, platonic goodness, the people who make your life better by existing, even if they're not always in your line of sight. internet friends count too!

It boggles my mind that the only national newspaper opinion columnist to say the truth about the president's complicity in the intentional and criminal starvation of over a million people is fucking Nicholas Kristof.

…the dramatic sweep or bang of a March on Rome, it’s gonna feel a lot more “normal” than that and therefore easier to dismiss by many elite pundits 2) ask an older Black voter if it’s hard to believe that America may no longer be a democracy at some point in its modern history.

This is 100% true and also it is not the way that history and social studies are taught to USian students. So this is not something that most people think or understand.

The fact that only the president enjoys complete immunity, and that he also has the power of pardon is part of what is so terrifying about the ruling. It means that those beneath him are entirely at his good graces and arbitrary will. It's a power machine, not a check on his power.

The FT is arguably the sanest of all British dailies; but even the FT relegates the Greens and the LibDems's successes in the election (71 seats for the LD, a gain of +63) to the equivalent of a footnote. This is the Reform effect, by which extremists are given extra oxygen by the media. Why?
