How bad maps win elections - Gerrymandering explained | Map Men
  • Ah yes, avoiding the controversy of UK politics by covering US politics.

    I love the funny map men. Michigan just redrew their districts with an independent redistricting committee, and the results were pretty good if I remember.

  • [Ahoy] Nobody Knows How Many Amigas Commodore Sold
  • I didn't know what an Amiga was until I saw animations by Eric Schwartz on Saberspark's twitch. Eric Schwartz is a furry artist who made animations on Amiga computers and shared them around the internet. He eventually made a comic with one of his characters called Sabrina online

  • Trump indicted again in federal election interference case following Supreme Court immunity ruling
  • Why is he running for president? Because that's where the power is to keep him out of prison is. The system isn't quite working for him, so he intends to change it and pardon himself or even make it impossible to prosecute him in the future. That's my conjecture anyway. I have little hope on understanding him completely as he adds in so many falsehoods to his speech.

    I also know that he hates to lose, and so therefore he needs a rematch. He has an interesting obsession with winners and losers

  • Treason has a very specific definition under US law. (Specifically written into the US Constitution) Trump isn't facing Treason charges.

    He is facing charges of Willful retention of National Defense Information, obstruction of justice, and withholding records as well as making false statements. This is for the Florida case

    He faces 10 counts of racketeering in Georgia

    This case in DC over Jan 6 has conspiracy to defraud the US, obstruction of an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.

    Apparently, the revised indictment for this case has Donald Trump as a political candidate, rather than president. He is going to argue that all of those actions he took were unofficial as they were connected to his candidacy for POTUS.

  • We might see the legal precedent for what constitutes an official act or not in this next court case. Or not. My predictions are that

    1. Prosecution is going to try and argue that certain actions that are part of the office of the president are not official acts, especially if they were not in writing
    2. Defense is going to argue the maximalist interpretation of official acts and presidential immunity
    3. There will be another appeal to the Supreme Court
    4. This case will be delayed until after the November election

    My questions are

    1. How many charges are now possible to prosecute?
    2. What other precedent will this case set for future POTUS?
  • NOOOOOOOOO
  • There's a thing on the stuffy r/credibledefense that might change your mind on pilot error. TL;DR the flight manuals and warning design failed the pilots and the checklists didn't communicate the urgency

  • Just tryna be human out here sucks
  • If you want the really specific term, it's Jim Crow, after the Jim Crow laws passed in the south after reconstruction. The effects of Jim Crow reach us today and will for a long time

  • You see what makes a Nazi isn't actually killing millions of people. It's only killing millions of Russians. The reason why the Nazis are evil is not actually because they are evil but because they went against the Russians.

    That's how many of the Russians see it anyway, and by extension many tankies. The only difference is tankies have to try and sound reasonable to a Western leftist audience.

  • Anon's good memory from the 2010s
  • That's the image I got. I actually had something else, (oops) but it looks similar. I don't know if Lemmy lets me post the whole image. I don't know if it's the original either, but I used this as a desktop background for years. I ditched it on the upgrade to 4k. Size is 1.2 MB

  • Rarity has gone too far this time

    Rarity is the fashion pony. She'd do just about anything to be more glamorous. Poor Fluttershy gets betrayed

    Not sure how I got here, but have a picture of pink fluffy ponies before I leave

    The thing in the middle is Queen Chrysalis. What I would give to be her right now
