![Comic. Dimensional Lumber Tape Measure. [mockup of “2x4” piece of wood showing the dimensions as 1½“ by 3 ½“] Dimensional lumber sizes are tricky. A “2x4” is actually 1½“ by 3 ½“, and a “1x8” is ¾“ by 7⅛“. [two tape measures: one is labeled 12’, the other 12’*] If you know someone into carpentry or woodworking, get them our *dimensional lumber tape measure*. [A “normal tape measure” with even increments and a “dimensional lumber tape measure” with increments at different lengths for each inch] *Don’t tell them you got it*—just leave it in their toolbox.

![Comic. A snake slithers around a hypercube. No two non-consecutive parts of its coils can be on adjacent corners.

Democrats made a catastrophic error in 2021 by not passing the redistricting reform bill. Blue states should respond to this with their own gerrymanders but that is 1) not a lasting solution and 2) probably doesn’t undo the damage MAGA is doing with their mid-decade redistricting.
BREAKING: Gov. Mike Braun confirms Vice President JD Vance is coming to Indiana Thursday to discuss possibly redistricting in the state.
We will have a story up soon on the issue, including the possible legal constraints of such a move.

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation.
I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!
