Kansas Republicans drop push to enter nation's widening redistricting battle Top Kansas Republicans have given up for now on forcing a special session of the Legislature to redraw the state’s U.S.

Kansas doesn't have the votes to redistrict, Sharice Davids' seat won't be touched.

Do your mental health a favor and turn this on for today. You really don't want to watch this. It is awful.

My kids think Jaws is HILARIOUS. They absolutely ball up in giggles at it. I love that movie so much - the pacing and characters and all the delicious suspense - I cannot imagine laughing at it

I genuinely feel stupider for having read that

Nero played violin while Rome burned; we shitpost. Same energy, I think

The writers of the season of America are hitting Chronicled of Narnia-level blatant symbolism here

What percentage of people were always really weird and what percentage became weird because it got them more engagement on social media and what percentage of people became weird because they were engaging too much on social media

so is the plan here that if every other good becomes hideously expensive, eggs will go back to seeming cheap by comparison?

lol we all gotta dissociate from this mess somehow

Are you - is any Democrat - going to DO something, or is angry tweeting good enough now? 🙄

Yeah, our legislature in Kansas is real fuckin dumb sometimes 🙃

I want my hour back :(

I am a damn near lifelong Kansan, current Kansas resident, third generation graduate of the University of Kansas. My family helped found Topeka a couple centuries ago. I don’t know how much more “real Kansan” I can be. That said. Roger Marshall is a coward, a disgrace, and wrong on EVERYTHING.

I see you heard the same lying sack of shit on NPR this morning as I did

AI is currently only helpful if you actually know enough about the topic to know which parts of what it says are correct, and which are hallucinations or weird language mishmash. It can’t actually do all your research and solve all your problems. You still need to, you know, think and learn.

Just going to say I put my English degree to goddamn use every day in this universe because I know when something is legit, when it’s questionable, and when someone is yanking my emotions to try to make me agree with them. On social, this is like god-tier power.

The only way I can make sense of his Gaza rambling is that he’s clearly got rapidly worsening dementia and only understands things like seafront property? They really shouldn’t let him near a mic 🙃

Is it possible to get any data on ad reach or engagement between those two? It would be really interesting to see how much relative audience reach they’re getting on those ad spends.

That’s not to say that I think the Democrats have done even a baseline acceptable job of protesting or messaging this week, but I don’t think acting like republicans is automatically what everyone should do. (Still working out what I think might be better though tbh)

I get the impetus behind pointing out how Republicans would act if Biden had done anything Trump has done in the past 11 days, but I also can’t imagine anything I’d want less than for more of us to act more like Republicans

My boss at my previous soul-sucking job LITERALLY DID THIS and I have never had my final shreds of respect for someone disintegrate so fast

Every time I hear Trump say the US needs Greenland for national security purposes, all I hear is Eddie Izzard talking about the UK needing the Falkland Islands for “strategic sheep purposes”

You know I’ll show this one to Tony asap

AI slop is everywhere and getting so hard to avoid - appreciate y’all working so hard to counter it <3

As a nearly lifelong Kansas Citian, this is the most Kansas City-feeling article I have ever read. I love it like candy.
[insert obligatory Go Chiefs here]

It must suck to be Josh Allen

I too am glad our NFL team got a touchdown but like maybe a touchdown doesn’t need fireworks every. single. time.

I laughed so hard at this but agreed, “ball size” has never fallen into my way of desired characteristics

I honestly feel like the main reason I don’t have the religious trauma a good chunk of my friends have is because I grew up Episcopalian and Episcopalians generally like people/follow Jesus

I keep seeing people say not to believe it when the conservatives try to explain this away as not actually being a hitler salute and. I haven’t actually seen anyone try to explain it away, y’all. They don’t need to now.
