a man in a suit and tie is giving a speech in front of a crowd .. Alt: Drew Carey welcoming the crowd to “whose line is it anyway” where -like game theory- everything is made up at the points don’t matter. (BUT SERIOUSLY WHY DID YOU DECIDE THAT THE UTLITY GAINED WAS 5? Why not 10? Why not 32626? Why not blue? Where are these numbers coming from and why am I the only one haunted by this?!)

I’m torn between hoping we get a reboot of 30-50 feral hogs or posting the most accurate meme about game theory ever:

Oh Christ. Considering the discourse of polisky, it gives me no pleasure to inform y’all that, it is, indeed, time for some game theory.

This is the way.

Look at WI vs NJ where the Dem base mobilized to stop redistricting that would hurt the GOP or Oregon where the GOP routinely flees the state. We’re not at round 1 or 2; we’re several rounds in. The options are hit back or increasing extremism on the Dem base bc of unfairness.

I mean I think if they do it they need to be clear the GOP started it. Talk about WI, how NJ dem base stopped gerrymandering that would benefit them in this way, how Oregon GOP has been fleeing the state since forever over trivial stuff after every question.

Y’ALL IS #REXCOMUS DEAD?!

Conservative DEI is orders of magnitude worse than anything any of them have ever accused liberals of doing.

Considering the logistics of going on a quick day trip to support this farmers’ market…

(above an image of Trump) BROWN JUST BECAME THE LATEST UNIVERSITY TO CAVE TO TRUMP.

(next to an image of Trump) TO GET THEIR RESEARCH FUNDING BACK, BROWN AGREED TO: #1 Enforce locker rooms "strictly separated by sex" - using Trump's anti-trans executive orders, erasing trans and nonbinary students. #2 Ban trans athletes by redefining "male" and "female" under Trump's terms. #3 Hand over admissions and discrimination complaint data - giving the federal government surveillance access to internal records. #4 Run a government-approved "antisemitism" survey - a tactic used to target pro-Palestinian student speech. #5 Pay $50 million - the price tag for political obedience, dressed up as "workfoce development."

(alongside images of Trump and Brown’s campus) THIS ISN'T ABOUT CIVIL RIGHTS. IT'S ABOUT CONTROL. And Brown isn't alone. Columbia and Penn already cut backroom deals. Harvard has started gutting DEl and LGBTQ+ offices and programs behind closed doors. THE MESSAGE FROM TRUMP IS CLEAR: COMPLY WITH OUR AGENDA, OR LOSE YOUR FUNDING.

CAPITULATION TO AUTHORITARIANISM IS UNACCEPTABLE. YOU CAVE, WE CALL YOU OUT. YOU RESIST, WE STAND WITH YOU. If you're a student, alumni, parent, or faculty member - tell your school: NO DEALS. NO SURVEILLANCE. NO HATE.

We can’t let this become the new normal. Here’s what you can do right now: indivisible.org/resource/eli...

I just want to say that there that Amy Coney Barrett should know that the districts in Louisiana don’t make any sense.

My entire timeline just attacking me today.

I think they were shooting for a nothing gets btw me and my Calvin’s vibe but forgot that whole campaign was really really weird and uncomfortable. And then upped it with this script and the jeans not fitting.

Hopefully the massive mocking of the campaign kills it.

The old facebook reporting box that asks what’s going on and the I’m in this photo and I don’t like it checked.

Reported and blocked.

Us fools with our “standards”

But stupid me keeps working for money, refusing to sell out, and spends hours trying to get survey qs phrases right and this dude is going to pump out the shittiest research and get paid more in a year that I will in a lifetime probably.

In the last search I did if you didn’t put you could teach foreign policy we dropped the application as a simple way of paring it down since we had 200 applicants and we’re still teaching a 4-4. (Yes we put that we needed it covered in the ad).

I’m sorry but someone thinking they didn’t get a job solely based on demographics means they are not eligible to teach evidence based research.

There are biases etc etc but it’s still a crap shoot lottery bc there are too many qualified people - even just looking at white dudes from ivys w/pubs.

I don’t know anything about organizing and have been really open about it, but I feel like we should be talking about mutual aid funds and preparing.

(We honestly should be in DC now during summer but collective action and all that. )

This @today.yougov.com poll is why I'm going to become the Joker.

The US murder rate in 2024 was likely down nearly 30 percent relative to 2020 and down nearly 50 percent relative to 1990.

I’m going to look at them because if I can get some without fragrance, solids tend to give me more choice.

Now That They’re Free, Venezuelan Men Want the World to Know What They Endured in CECOT Venezuelan men deported by the Trump administration say they endured months of physical and mental abuse inside a Salvadoran prison. Though happy to be home, they say the fact that they were released ...

The terror began immediately. Salvadoran guards beat them with their fists, boots and batons, shot them with rubber pellets, and forced them to lick other men's backs.

What happened when we sent 230+ Venezuelans to a prison known for human rights abuses.

At least I know it’s a cycle. I’ll feel better later.

I’m going to try reintroducing products one at a time to see and possibly look for products that have one or the other to test. I had gotten my curl process dialed in only to go for patch testing. The good news is my scalp no longer itches and flakes like a demon.

Maybe I should just do wigs.

So I have the sources to write up a post on ICE powers over citizens, how arrests have changed over the past 4 months but I’m in the “I can’t look at anything related to that man” low, mainly inspired by my looking at people who I used to respect being okay with everything occurring.

Everything has one or the other it seems. At least I can do olive oil.

Yeah I don’t really need shea as my hair is fine but the oil and preservative things are killer bc if it doesn’t have one it’s the other!

At least it doesn’t spark anaphylactic shock …

Finding curly girl products when you get contact dermatitis from to things like aloe, shea, nut oils and common preservatives that are derived from plants is not fun. 0/100. Do not recommend.

I think he is too, I just don’t appreciate him making money off of it now.
