that’s the line tbh bad decisions lead to severe consequences it’s a bit harsh tho :(
I fundamentally do not know how to square the politics whereby Democrats will essentially have to tell the American people that because they (the voters) made an extremely stupid decision, they need to lower their expectations substantially for the foreseeable future, but here we are.

NEW: Voters have rejected Republicans' scheme to unseat the Kansas Supreme Court's Dem-appointed majority and overturn abortion rights. Amendment 1 would have let the GOP replace the system of a nominating commission, gubernatorial appointment, and retention elections with direct partisan elections
Done and dusted. Kris Kobach, Leonard Leo, and other anti-abortion, anti-public school funding conservatives in Kansas who tried to remake the state Supreme Court in their image have LOST.
Some +other+ primaries in Michigan, and more than you maybe wanted to know about the Kansas ballot measure to upend judicial selection (which is already a little gerrymandered!) open.substack.com/pub/statehou...
AP calls a DEFEAT for Kansas Amendment 1, which would have replaced the current merit-based selection of state Supreme Court justices with partisan statewide elections. GOP wanted this change to try to overturn a ruling protecting abortion rights, but voters emphatically said no.
With about 26% of votes counted, 71% are saying "no" to the constitutional amendment #ksleg kansasreflector.com/2026/08/04/e...

Me: The new agent harness is great. You feed your tokens into the machine. Then you run simulations which, if successful, produces tickets. If they fail you have to buy more tokens and keep running the sims. Once you have enough tickets you can redeem them Boss: are you at dave & busters, yes or no

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."
it's natural to be concerned because this seems like a step backwards to people but the key thing to understand is while tanks made sense until around the year 2000 they're less prevalent because lobsters had to keep up and adapt for the changing battlefield most of them today are trained for drones
