Gonna keep saying it until I don't have to: there is no such thing as red states and blue states.
I don't much like the title, but the is article very much worth reading.
On organization and cooperation going on in and between blue states, to make federal intervention of many kinds unnecessary.

It’s Time for Americans to Start Talking About “Soft Secession”
Blue states are finally learning what red states have known all along: you don’t need federal permission to govern.

Yet another in a long series of dub takes from @fdsignifier.bsky.social. The idea that *anyone* can truly be held accountable by posting/making content about them is absurd, and has only managed to encourage the worst people and tendencies on the internet.

sorry here's the link. FWIW Daily Mail is generally not great, but one thing they do excel at is tabloid-style "finding out where people live and who they're married to" stuff www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Question for my fellow hip hop heads: we argue all the time about who's in the conversation for GOAT rapper, but what about producer? For me the no-brainers are Kanye, Dre, DJ Premier, and Pharrell. You could also make a case for Madlib, Dilla, and Q-Tip.

Assuming Joe Brady takes another job or is fired, there is no one I would want more as the Bills' next offensive coordinator.
BREAKING: The Dolphins have fired head coach Mike McDaniel, per source.
McDaniel finishes with a 35-35 record in four seasons, including two playoff losses.

It's difficult to overstate the 3rd point. I remember talking to a journalist about this a few months ago. Contrary to the movies, a vehicle doesn't stop if the driver gets shot and will likely just become more dangerous to bystanders. But that just underlines the type of person ICE is hiring.

And this just further underlines how stupid these assholes are. Like we don't have to speculate, multiple researchers have established pretty robust evidence that the BLM protests in 2020 hurt Trump and GOP. They're just too high on their own supply to comprehend it.

Yarvin is literally just a far stupider version of Schmitt, and Schmitt was a supremely stupid asshole.
Just the BBC, the national broadcaster, mainstreaming a fascist blogger. I guess this is normal now.

Again, I feel the need to remind everyone that while Maduro may be in custody, the regime in Venezuela has not fallen. They are still in control of the country and all its major institutions.
