it's not just that it's illegal when Democrats do it
it's that's it's illegal when voters want it
California is the only state that actually asked voters if they want this. They said yes.
I know I never got to vote against Texas redistricting, but that's not illegal because Republicans want it

In today's edition of "every accusation is a confession"
Republicans like Andy Ogles want to strip Mamdani of citizenship by claiming he lied on his application
Andy Ogles, meanwhile, has an entire "Disputed career claims" on his Wikipedia entry for lying about his job qualifications

![Disputed career claims
Ogles has repeatedly made public claims of being an
"economist."[22/23 After NewsChannel 5 questioned how much formal training in economics Ogles had, he said he was an economist because when "you look at the body of someone's work... I've spent the last decade working on economic policy and tax policy."[71[14 During that time, Ogles had worked for roughly five years as an anti-tax lobbyist with Americans for Prosperity, and then for a year
as the executive director of the Laffer Center, an
organisation run by economist Arthur Laffer. [14 The
executive director position seemed to involve mainly
"administrative" work, reported NewsChannel 5, with Ogles not being named as an author of any economic reports uploaded on the Laffer Center's website. 71[14] Ogles' congressional website claims that "while working at the Laffer Center, Andy became a nationally recognized expert on tax policy and healthcare, having been featured in numerous publications, including The Wall Street Journal and Investor's Business Daily" 7 NewsChannel 5 questioned this claim, being unable to find any articles in the publications independently citing him as an expert, only finding three columns written by Ogles in these publications, all of which were written when he was a
lobbyist, before he worked for the Laffer Center. 7](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wt5cnjsnwwb7mxfac5of2pdo/bafkreib3lxl3ujseqz3bvvhvx53iiqckgngvxibqaab4nfxcc4ytu5aine@jpeg)
![At a political debate, Ogles called himself "a former
member of law enforcement, worked in international sex crimes, specifically child trafficking", while at a separate forum, he said: "I went into law enforcement. I worked in human trafficking."[71[12) NewsChannel 5 reported that Ogles was a volunteer reserve deputy with the Williamson
County Sheriff's Office from 2009 to 2011, with his position revoked for failing to meet minimum standards,
failing to progress in field training, and failing to attend required meetings.7 The Williamson County Sheriff's Office said that records do not show Ogles trained or worked against international sex trafficking as a reserve deputy. 7 In 2011, Ogles worked as a chief operating officer for Abolition International, a non-profit organisation which described its work as giving grants to "holistic ministries". 7 Ogles indicated that since his stint at Abolition International overlapped his stint as a reserve deputy, "Maybe I created some of the confusion or maybe
it was someone looking to write a story". [15] While Ogles claimed he was "heavily involved in the fight against human trafficking", NewsChannel 5 reported that Abolition International's tax records showed that Ogles worked in a part-time position that paid him $4,000 in total. 7 Ogles' congressional website originally claimed that Ogles was "overseeing operations and investments in 12 countries" for Abolition International; but NewsChannel 5 disputed that number as too large; the website later amended its claim to overseeing operations and investments in "several
countries](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wt5cnjsnwwb7mxfac5of2pdo/bafkreiazkw4vb776autlrybbv6qhvankje4nybb3f7lk2pyihn7uawakcu@jpeg)

This is.... actually hilariously bad. For a company of OpenAI's size and scope, less than half a million installs is abysmal for a launch this high profile.
For comparison, Threads got 40 *million* installs on its first day, and there's no way that many people actually care about Facebook's Twitter

- shout at me and slam his laptop in the middle of the Conde cafeteria

one of my favorite comparisons so far is Grokipedia's version of "sexual intercourse" which, on top of from saying it's explicitly a human act, differs from Wikipedia mainly by being grossed out by non-hetero, missionary sex
it reeks of "sex is for procreation, not the fun those PERVS have"

![Sexual intercourse
Sexual intercourse, also known as coitus or copulation, is the biological act in which a human male inserts his erect penis into a human female's vagina, facilitating the transport of sperm from the seminal vesicles through the cervix toward the fallopian tubes for potential fertilization of an ovum.[1][2] This process constitutes the proximate mechanism of sexual reproduction in humans, combining genetic material from two parents to generate offspring with increased variability, conferring evolutionary advantages in variable environments through mechanisms like recombination and outcrossing.[3][4] While primarily adapted for procreation—evidenced by the necessity of penile-vaginal insemination for natural conception—intercourse also activates reward pathways in the brain, releasing neurotransmitters such as dopamine to motivate engagement, often extending beyond fertile windows and supporting pair bonding.[5][6] Empirical data indicate that partnered sexual activity correlates with physiological benefits including reduced stress via oxytocin release and improved cardiovascular markers in moderation, though risks such as sexually transmitted infections arise from unprotected exchanges of bodily fluids.[7][8] In adult populations, frequency varies by age, with individuals in their twenties averaging approximately 80 instances annually, declining thereafter, reflecting both reproductive imperatives and non-reproductive motivations like pleasure attainment.[9]
Variations in intercourse encompass positions and intensities but remain anchored in heterosexual dimorphism for reproductive efficacy, with deviations such as anal or oral acts lacking direct fertilizing potential and thus diverging from the species' core propagative function.[3] Defining characteristics include rhythmic thrusting to achieve ejaculation, typically lasting minutes, alongside female responses like vaginal lubrication and cervical mucus changes optimized for sperm survival near o…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wt5cnjsnwwb7mxfac5of2pdo/bafkreicwgdubfmfv5b6kfrcnn3wy6d65vcyo3t2glne5cyhdizwhwtvl3m@jpeg)
![Wikipedia: Sexual intercourse (also coitus or copulation) is a sexual activity typically involving the insertion of the erect male penis inside the female vagina and followed by thrusting motions for sexual pleasure, reproduction, or both.[1] This is also known as vaginal intercourse or vaginal sex.[2][3] Sexual penetration is an instinctive form of sexual behaviour and psychology among humans. Other forms of penetrative sexual intercourse include anal sex (penetration of the anus by the penis), oral sex (penetration of the mouth by the penis or oral penetration of the female genitalia), fingering (sexual penetration by the fingers) and penetration by use of a dildo (especially a strap-on dildo), and vibrators.[4][5] These activities involve physical intimacy between two or more people and are usually used among humans solely for physical or emotional pleasure. They can contribute to human bonding.[4][6]
There are different views on what constitutes sexual intercourse or other sexual activity, which can impact views of sexual health.[7] Although sexual intercourse, particularly the term coitus, generally denotes penile–vaginal penetration and the possibility of creating offspring,[1] it also commonly denotes penetrative oral sex and penile–anal sex, especially the latter.[8] It usually encompasses sexual penetration, while non-penetrative sex has been labeled outercourse,[9] but non-penetrative sex may also be considered sexual intercourse.[4][10] Sex, often a shorthand for sexual intercourse, can mean any form of sexual activity.[7] Because people can be at risk of contracting sexually transmitted infections during these activities, safer sex practices are recommended by health professionals to reduce transmission risk.[11][12]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wt5cnjsnwwb7mxfac5of2pdo/bafkreiedehrq2eerugclbcgxoynewvovdfqagmdsyenriiu6z3zswuil3q@jpeg)

I think a big part of the reason Beast Machines struggles to land as hard as its predecessor is how absolutely paltry the cast is compared to Beast Wars
