Pretty chill, an introvert that like kdrama, anime, art, science, horror. Like to stay up on current events. I also love to respond to stupid comments and posts much to my detriment. Which makes coming here great for overcoming that bad habit lol.

Well white Democrats, liberals, leftists, if section 2 of the VRA is struck down, y'all can no longer rely on black people to save you. It will be up to y'all now. So what will you do? What's your plan?

Cannot stress enough that what's happening now and will accelerate over next few weeks is a big spike in fuel costs paid for by every American that will flow *directly* into insane, unprecedented profits for American oil companies. They're going to be the big winners of this.

as it becomes clear that Yes has won in VA and gerrymandering will pass, a message to Republican voters:
you brought this on yourselves
you convinced the most fairness-obsessed, That Wouldn’t Be Fair-minded voters in the country to affirmatively vote to put you in the dumpster
you earned this

We finally have what you've all been waiting for: the final result of Loudoun County.
(Anyone who followed the 2024 count remembers Loudoun.)
The YES won by 21%, with 144K ballots counted.
A very strong result (as we're seeing throughout NoVa): Spanberger won here by 29%, and Jones by only 19%.

We’ve now reached the part of the referendum where everyone lines up, mutters “goodgamegoodgamegoodgamegoodgame“ a bunch of times with a series of low fives - the winning Yes side slightly more enthusiastic about it- and then they bring out baggies of oranges and Capri Suns for the campaign workers.

DUDE! This is huge! The endless complexity of biology is mind-blowing.
We've known that the proteins in the epigenome control DNA expression, but we thought they were just on-off switches.
They're not. They're more.
This is pretty remarkable.

Study Finds Each Protein in the Epigenome Produces a Different Pattern of Gene Expression
A new study finds the proteins responsible for controlling which genes are expressed in a genome do more than simply turn a gene on or off.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it.
This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.
