Democrat, intellectual, autistic nerd (yes really), writer and artist, explorer. Anticonservative. Texas is the state that could take the House, Senate, and Presidency off the table for Republicans.

I don’t think that county really did prevent it, what he meant is it could have at the time it was being done.

However in 2026, with mail in ballots expected to be statistically almost nonexistent in Texas, it will not mean anything. But they will still try tricks, like polling place closures.

I've always felt this way but I was scared of getting in trouble for saying it.

I'm not particularly radical, but I am more left-wing than most people I know.

However, 0.3% is not trivial in a country with close elections. A study found that a handful of statewide offices were flipped by the partisanship of Covid deaths.

I wanted to say once that I feel the world will be a better place if enough Republicans die from the coronavirus that they lose enough net voters to affect elections. Unfortunately for me that mostly didn't happen, the change was only estimated at 0.3% based on age, turnout, and partisanship data.

I want anyone who is planning to visit Brazil or Portugal to understand that Portuguese is not fake Spanish.

In fact, I have been surprised at how different the 2 languages are.

Not really because Spanish and Portuguese can understand each other a lot because they are part of the same language family.

But Portuguese has way different sounds from Spanish sometimes and it does sound like French in terms of sounds.

The next "No Kings" protests are on March 28.

We need people to show up peacefully 2 overwhelm the system so police cannot round up people like they tried to do in Minneapolis. A study found that when 3.5% of people show up to peacefully protest a regime, it always fell.

Like this if you're ready!

AI is not all that bad, I agree. The problem comes when people overuse it and have it think for them.

Most people peak in intelligence in high school or college, because that is the end of when they have been forced to learn.

I have made a decision years ago that I want to learn for as long as I can. And by doing that I could reach the top 1% or even 0.1% in terms of brain power by some metrics.

The DNC establishment will collapse in tandem with the GOP demise.
It's coming.

There is such a thing as too far left, and this is how it usually manifests itself.

Not Republicans. People with hate and anger towards everyone. The Republican party was their sponsor that’s all. There is no true Republican Party anymore.

This is what institutionalized xenophobia looks like.

It's even worse now with Trump's second term being more aggressive against legal immigration and not simply illegal immigration unlike his first term.

When I say that I think America will be better off as a one-party nation, what I mean is that what I imagine is an electoral setup where Democrats always win nationally, like blue states but nationally. This model is not unprecedented, we see it in Japan and Sweden, two countries where 1 party...

Texas is turning blue. The 2024 election really masked how much Texas is changing but the 2026 primary shows real change.

Schools are NOT the reason young people are left leaning. In fact it is a rule that teachers do NOT advertise or try to manipulate political views because of these concerns.

The one thing you could argue does this is the curriculum but then you kind of admit you are bigoted if you go down that path

I want to tell you why autistic picky eating is often different from other picky eating: it is not simply a preference. Forcing a food can be overwhelming in terms of senses in a bad way.

Here is why we need to keep voting: the Republicans turnout will collapse sooner or later. Once it does, Democrats can dominate if they maintain the vast majority of their raw vote totals.

The only reason we haven't seen a bigger electoral backlash is Republicans turned out too.

Five languages can understand at least parts of most of Europe's languages. This is a map of it, with each language color coded.

I think it is OK to break the law if all 3 of these circumstances are met:

1. What you are doing is not harming anyone else.
2. There is no realistic way for you to get caught, especially if catching you would require illegally violating privacy.
3. You disagree with a certain law.
