There have been many legendary Dwarf Fortress patch notes but this might be the greatest one yet:
In other Michigan news, the state looks set to elect it's first transgender lawmaker. Joanna Whaley won her Democratic primary and will compete in November for a state house seat, beating a primary opponent who tried and failed to disqualify her for not running under her deadname
You tell who's winning by reading the data, I tell who's winning by watching my smartest opponents crash out over the data
the funniest outcome which is looking increasingly likely is that the margin is smaller than the number of votes McMorrow still received
Tonight we find out whether Michigan voters are bluesky posters or bluesky replyers
this is my biggest complaint and why we have to beat the shit out of these asshats $60mil of cash burned. didn’t help a single person. didn’t help Michiganders. didn’t really help Israel either. just a waste and nothing to show for it but shame
We've spent so much effort, for so long, to get this. And they lit so much money on fire. Imagine how much community organizing $60 million could have gotten in Michigan. But organized community wasn't the goal.
I ain't doing analysis today besides saying that's a big number for the most conservative ballot method
Michigan U.S. Senate Democratic Primary Kent County Absentee: 🟣 Abdul El-Sayed – 4,106 (55.4%) 🟠 Haley Stevens – 2,895 (39.1%)
I am hearing that on her deathbed Haley Stevens received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the Shahada. Even now she looks down on the Ummah from the gardens of Jannah. Truly there is no god but Allah, and Mohammad is his prophet!
couple months ago: let's show these assholes why americans are drowning in medical and other personal debt now: wait what we don't even have the weaponry now either
Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.
obviously this is islamophobia, but it's also the liberal framing of american empire as always being reactive. none of our actions ever have consequences and no one ever has valid historical reasons to be hostile towards america
25 years after the tired American cliche of “why do they hate us,” helped instigate two forever wars (Afghanistan + Iraq), this is how @nytimes.com chooses to explain Iran’s political system:
i thought i had already seen the most batshit abdul takes but i was so, so wrong
I for one am grateful that Larry Ellison was able to find a platform for his op-ed, lest his voice go unheard.
strongly urge anyone (cis ppl, cough cough) wondering about all the things rolling around in my head for the last week to watch this. @jessiegender.bsky.social has laid it all out here in a way that is very affirming that im not losing my mind. She hits most of the big points that i lost sleep over

Under-discussed Michigan politics story is that a co-founder of Uncommitted is about to become the Democratic nominee for a seat to the State Senate with the backing of Governor Whitmer
Yea idk how Rogers is going to beat anyone with talking points like this
that’s all it is. all of this. the “Trans In Sports” fairness question is a trojan horse for what you really want — to keep trans kids hidden away from your own kids, so you can pursue your vicarious, narcissistic parenting project. your children are no more than project cars to you. fuck you
lmao even the places hosting Stevens events want nothing to do with her
