    I saw this Bluesky post…

    virginia voters should call their delegates and senators and demand that they ignore this illegitimate ruling

    …and I had no idea what it was. Bluesky fuckers never post links even if the news broke 10 minutes ago. You need to be cool enough to already know. When I googled - I actually laughed at the headline I found: “Virginia Supreme Court strikes down redistricting referendum approved by voters in special election.” I added a bit for context.

      Good news: liberals finally realize that laws aren’t real and you can do whatever you want

      Bad news: they still think the solution is to scream at an intern who doesn’t give a shit what you think

        I stopped asking question there. People ignore randos. If the vagueness clearly refers to news and/or hopeless-and-funny lib shit - I’ll google it. The worst is when they post something like “That’s just what one of their judges would say.” I have to stifle my natural sense of curiosity. It’s probably some highly technical inside baseball shit for lib law nerds.
