unfortunately everything i would most want done with the bulk of my remains is illegal in the US. no cannibal barbecue memorial. no using bones for arts and crafts. at least my organs can get donated if anyone needs them, but best legal option after that's done is probably cremation, and then use my ashes in making a nice ceramic dish set or sculpture or something.
it's a choice (though of course a lot of people aren't allowed to vote, and for them its no choice at all), but it's definitely not a choice to vote for any particular candidate.
wilder seems to have a population of about 1600 as of the 2020 census. i was unable to find numbers for 2024, but it appears that in 2025, there was a voter turnout in precinct 0409, which includes wilder, of 66. not 66 percent, mind, but 66 individual people. the total voter registrations only totaled 487. so unless the numbers were ridiculously higher in 2024 (and they undid their voter registration afterwards? can you even do that?), i strongly doubt anwhere near 91% of people there voted for trump.
ETA: Found more data! It looks like 712 people in the district voted for trump in 2024. That amounted to 82.03% of the vote, but still less than half of the population, if we assume that only folks from wilder voted, and nobody from the surrounding area. Now, if the population had halved since the 2020 census, and all the votes cast in that district were from people in wilder (and the votes cast against trump were mostly out of town), then we could get close to that 91% figure.
he was elected twice, sure, but in the first case, he lost the popular vote by about 3 million votes, and in both case, he didn't get a majority, and the majority of americans didn't vote either way at all.
it's bad, but no matter how you slice it, trump voters make up less than a quarter of the US population.
MIRI seems to have their collective head on straight. i'd at least trust them more on the subject of AI than any of the blood swilling oligarchs running the big ai companies these days.
Dredd (2012) was a techically proficient, but ultimately mediocre piece of uncritical copraganda action schlock, and a vastly inferior film to Judge Dredd (1995). i will die on this hill.
well, the effect of required reading seems to be killing kids' enjoyment of reading, so, if we wanna double down on that, i reccomend the Silmarrillion, by JRR Tolkein. or maybe a phone book.
quick point of fact: revolvers do not use magazines. that's kinda their thing.
