Got the bestselling book from one of my favourite Bluesky/Substack posters @jonnelledge.bsky.social as a birthday present from my dad today, and now it's time to take a dive into it.

This is the map that the Utah legislature passed today. It’s a gerrymander in that it’s 4-0 R in a state where it’s very easy to draw a Safe D district, but the 2nd and 3rd districts are competitive. The 2nd is Trump+6.6, the 3rd is Trump+2.2.
It’s more likely than not Democrats flip both seats.

And the first song on the playlist, I kid you not, is literally about frolicking.

Seems like a cruel joke that Spotify have a playlist for Frolic but none for Woe, Malice or Dread.

It's not ok to be celebrating Charlie Kirk dying. He left behind a wife and kid, think about what they're going through right now.

Lowercase Cyrillic is so cursed.
