The DOJ is suing to stop California’s redistricting map. Apparently vote approved maps are a problem, but partisan gerrymanders done without public input are just democracy working as intended?

The Saudis are buying Electronic Arts in a massive $55 billion deal — but why would they want a games publisher?

Something very powerful is happening in Voronezh

There is a fire in the area of the Chemical Automation Design Bureau – one of the main centers of Russian rocket engineering, where engines for the "Soyuz", "Proton", and "Angara" rockets are tested.

super point; mebbe of albiet late interest to @sarahkendzior.bsky.social (glad you are back!). And yesterday I read that someone else was suspended for suggesting an annoying journalist with an equally annoying newspaper (iirc) be fed into a wood chipper.
with the "Department of War" account on here not getting suspended for death threats I think it's fair to say that if you make a joke about killing someone on here, it's bad but if you mean it, it's fine? I dunno, policy needs tweaking I think

We began 2025 with real momentum. It has clearly slowed. The question is whether we’ve downshifted to a comfortable jog—or are stumbling toward recession. Tariffs and uncertainty lean the wrong way, and the shutdown’s data blackout makes it harder to tell.

I'm profoundly grateful to BlueSky users who supported me and called for my reinstatement. When I got suspended, I was not told why the first two times I inquired, or that it was for 72 hours. You forced BlueSky to respond and to issue a correction for one of the lies they told about me. Thank you.

oh boy... just like timing on the awfully decided/written presidential immunity ruling
The case will be argued in the late winter or early spring. A final ruling almost certainly will come by late June, early enough to govern the counting of ballots in the 2026 midterm congressional elections.
Supreme Court to Decide if States Can Count Late-Arriving Mail Ballots
The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to decide whether states can continue to count late-arriving mail ballots, a target of President Donald Trump.
