I’m annoyed that Delta plays, as it’s boarding music, what I expected to dance to at the Bridgerton Ball. I’m not annoyed it’s on Delta, I’m annoyed it wasn’t at the Ball!!

i'm not over Alito saying we shouldn't count ballots that are mailed on or before Election Day but arrive shortly afterwards bc they can “radically flip” the “apparent outcome”
cannot stress enough that, until all ballots are counted, there's no outcome to flip!

You may be relieved but spare a thought for so many editors in the mainstream media who were hoping to run hyping headlines about the far right winning in Sweden
As always when SD is hyped and ends up crashing, I expect Swedish politics will drop off the radar as it's no longer sexy enough

Nixon scored 41 and no other American President scored over a 25. Trump's second term scored a 91, which ties him with Suharto and Mobutu, above Marcos and Abacha.

I love RSA's decision to issue its press release in Afrikaans. I can understand a lot because of my Dutch. It refers to the US gov't's reliance on the accounts of those who purport to represent all Afrikaners—so responding in Afrikaans, which is spoken by many people of all races, is a nice touch.
South Africa's foreign ministry has put out a response to the US visa restrictions, so far only in Afrikaans (something I've not seen it do before).
As far as I can tell, the statement says the US is aligning itself with "misrepresentations" of govt policy promoted by Afrikaner fringe groups

This is what I keep coming back to. If Democratic politicians can't win their base, and they need their base to win, then surely your issue must be with the Democratic politicians, not the voters?
This quite literally is not true, but if it were then the Dem party response is even more unhinged.
If an extremely politically activates part of your base is throwing elections because you're running right, why do you think doing it again will work?

Every time one of these stories comes out, it's shown that the parents were actually abusive. There is an asymmetry where the parents are given a platform by Christian nationalist orgs and Fox News while the state cannot discuss any details due to privacy. So the narrative is set by the parents.
