This isn't as unworkable as you may think. The EU has something like this. The elections for the European Parliament are spread out over several days, with different countries voting on different days. The results may only be published after *all* the polls close.

Unworkable and likely unconstitutional idea: No vote totals shall be announced until the margin of victory for one candidate exceeds all votes remaining to be counted, making it impossible for the opposing candidate to win even if every uncounted vote was for them.

Don't fix SCOTUS. Strip it of appellate jurisdiction & give it to a new court drawn by lot from the whole federal judiciary. Congress has the power to this & there's already a bill in the House to get it done.

Fixing the corrupt Roberts Court has to be job one for the incoming administration. Nothing can improve as long as the likes of Clarence Thomas are taking a million a year in bribes to be the FedSoc voice on the court.

researchers: every unit of currency we put into this welfare service not only makes the user's life materially better, but returns about 150% of the spending in how it benefits society more broadly. right wing: ok but what if too many people use it though? also "too many" is "more than zero" here

So far, 65,000 people have been displaced from Spokane, Washington. Europe too is burning, while 1000 year floods routinely inundate the nation and world. On some other planet, Trump and his army of Republican idiots continue to insist climate change is a hoax. This is what Novembers are made for.

RFK Jr. ordered the CDC to stop tracking cyclosporiasis, because, well, "If you don't track it, you don't have any cases." Now, with people dying from it, the story can no longer be covered up. RFK Jr. needs to be put in a place where he can no longer harm people.

Exxon just posted $14.5 billion in profits for 2026-Q2, more than double year-over-year. Trump's war with Iran is a tremendous money making machine for U.S. oil companies. He's as much as said so himself. Our billionaire bros are gonna be popping corks tonight. Hope you're as excited as I am!

Was explaining what a hack was, what hackers are, to a friend using Stewart Brand’s and Jay Silver’s definitions and the joy on her face when she described her favorite social engineer warmed my heart. Don’t forget to hack your world. 💙

Watching the Michigan primary, I am left with the thought that the Democrats might as well have run a butch Jewish lesbian instead of Haley Stevens; might as well get shot for a sheep as for a lamb.

Things I and friends have done to calm an angry abusive man from further escalating and killing us or our children: -Smiled -Kept normal schedules in order not to trigger a fight -Appeased with kind acts (cooking, cleaning, favors) -Forced friendly tones and words

Rep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"
