HOT TAKE TOURNAMENT

TOURNAMENT OVERTIME #168

Submission 542

The "if I had a nickel every time [specific thing happened] I would have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it's happened twice." meme has been overused to the point that it isn't funny anymore

Most of the time it just isn't that weird that it happened twice. It was a very funny joke, especially in its original context (Phineas and Ferb) but it is way too overused at this point. Find another joke please.

Propaganda is encouraged!

Also, remember to reblog your favourite polls for exposure!

[nativestarwrites]

It was a close one, but 'Roy washes Jamie's hair' won the WIP poll. It's too much hassle to count sentences, so I've figured about 11 words on average a sentence, and with 12 votes, its 132 words.

Can confirm, I have added 542 words to this wip this evening so 🎉. And below is a little snippet of dialogue as proof and a thanks to those who voted.

(For context, Jamie's broken his arm and is sporting a fresh cast.)

“Do you think this will mess up my tattoos?” “What the fuck are you on about?” “Billy Mason broke his arm jumping from the caretaker’s shed roof in year 7. And when the cast came off his arm was proper rank, it was disgusting, all that dead skin and shit.” “Did you get your tattoos out of a cereal packet?” Roy asks slowly. “What? No.” “Then they aren’t gonna rub off you fucking muppet.”

[sexiestpodcastcharacter]

With 50.1% of 1081 votes, Gable & Nicky Close move on to Round 5!

Full transparency, the Mod did vote for Gable and Nicky, and by Announcement #3 if the Mod's vote breaks the tie then we mend the tie. This website says that there were 542 votes for Gable & Nicky and 539 votes for Killian. If we subtract 1 vote from Gable & Nicky and 1 vote from the total, we have 50.0925925... (925 repeating)% for Gable & Nicky, and 49.9074074... (074 repeating)% for Killian.

I don't know how Tumblr rounds the polls, but by the most generally accepted rules of rounding it would still be a 50.1% to 49.9% split.

Sexiest Podcast Character — Unscripted Bracket — Round 4

Propaganda

Gable (Campaign: Skyjacks):

7ft tall silver-haired thembo of a fallen angel. was the literal sword of god until they killed him! reasons slightly unclear but probably sure to forbidden queer love! super caring for their friends. has one friend they have known for hundreds of years who they HATE but are bound to by the red string of fate. their sword is a part of them, they can sheathe it into a tattoo. they start out indistinct at the edges but as they have continued on through the campaign they have become more and more distinct. they became a flaming engine of justice to kill their friends shitheaded older brother who was following him. they have learned enough necromancy to allow other fallen angels to die, even though they typically cannot. they fly giant birds in to battle.

7ft tall beefcake wielding a sword as tall as they are. vengeful sweetheart

Imagine now: a fallen angel with beautiful gray hair and very big muscles. Now imagine them with a 9 ft sword. Now imagine them as a helmsperson of a pirate ship in a flowy deep-v pirate shirt. Now imagine they're dumb as a fucking rock. And finally, imagine that they killed god. Here, you have made Gable Skyjacks: sexiest podcast character of all time.

7ft tall nonbinary/genderfluid thembo fallen angel sky pirate who wields a buster sword. silvergrey hair with black/gold streaks as they regain feathers/memories of before their fall. back is covered in tattoos that hide the scars of their shredded off wings. killed God. toxic exes with lucifer. they are the keeper of several giant war birds who occasionally crave human flesh. they enjoy getting rowdy/smoking rope with their boys. they collect rocks that they think are neat. When anyone admits they are attracted to them, Gable trips over their words and absolutely swaglessly ends up sounding stupider and sexier by the end of the conversation; the will they/won't they and teasing they dish out to these (un?)lucky few is palpable. Sometimes the buster sword is on fire. They are immortal, they are cringe, they are trying to atone because they believe they are the reason the world is ruined.

Okay so aside from all of the above (giant with a matching giant flaming sword, killed god, extreme dumbass), here's some more propaganda for Gable the Godkiller.

They've escaped death multiple times with their partner in... crime? Like literally they were about to be executed in the most brutal way possible and just. Escaped and killed all their captors in the snowy wastelands.

They are the helmsperson of the Uhuru and take this job very seriously and definitely haven't left it to Bowser (you know, like from Mario) multiple times. Can steer that flying ship in horrible weather and still make it to port safely.

Healed an entire fucking hospital by cutting their hair for someone they had the hots for who was also in the hospital. Imagine being on that level of myth making in some random port city because of a hair cut.

Giant bird caretaker and also took the giant birds out on their friend's bachelor party (this was like. his Xth polyamorous marriage at this point btw) and had a fucking blast getting high on some rope and fucking around. They've also flown these birds into combat and looked cool as hell doing it (see: killing their friend's shithead of an older brother in a joust).

Had a relationship with Lucifer the Morning Star before they fell as an angel and killed God. Literally the reason the stars fell was their love for each other. The world would not look the same without Gable and they are, at the very least indirectly responsible for the creation of the Church of the Slain God and everything it represents (fantasy Catholicism).

And also yeah they are regularly tripping over themself and saying very silly things. 10/10 character we love Liz Anderson and Gable in this house

I am seeing people say that this Nicky fellow is basically trans! That's very cool! Gable is actually trans. Pronouns they/them/any presentation whatever they feel like.

Gable held a bachelor party for a BFF where the attendees hunted from their sky birds, wore dresses, and still managed to keep their eyeliner on point!

Gable killed God because he wouldn't let them be queer. They should rightfully crush anyone in their path.

Nicky Close (Dungeons & Daddies):

One armed half-demon man with a sword (also a Dedicated, Involved, Loving Father). (Specifically campaign 2, where he is an adult)

Transmasc bisexual (or at least so widely accepted as such it's basically canon) dilf half-demon let's start with the basics

And by half-demon I mean the literal prince of Hell

But also simultaneously is Saint Nicolas get you a man who can do both specifically this man

Missing an arm cause his ex-friends tragically betrayed him and shot it off but he doesn't need two arms to show you a good time wink wink ;)

The betrayal in question forced him to be seperated from his also hot milf voice actress wife and their son which is sad but in like a way that makes him sexier

Uses his one hand to wield a flaming katana that he used to rescue his son from the FBI

Protects his family with his life very literally which is hot as hell

Big himbo energy couldn't come up with a good plan if he used 100% of his brain

When he does fail at things it's pretty cute honestly

Definitely played a variety of musical instruments before the whole arm thing happened! Maybe he still does idk he's a sexy mystery

2 in 1 deal! This man was born from the merging of two timelines! Kinda sick!!! Also two dads = twice the daddy issues

You'd think the whole being forcibly split from his family thing would mean he isn't very close with his son but nope! His son adores him! They get along great!!!

His mom is simultaneously alive and dead

His mom bagged fucking two different dudes (one of whom FOUND HER DEAD in a different timeline, both of which are demons)

HIS MOMS NAME IS MORGAN FREEMAN, HIS DAD’S NAME IS GLENN CLOSE, AND HIS OTHER DAD’S NAME IS JODIE FOSTER, AND HIS GREAT SOMETHING GRANDFATHER’S NAME IS MERYL STREEP

HIS SONS NAME IS TAYLOR SWIFT

Lifelong pot smoker 👍 (plus drug flower user!!)

CANONICALLY BOTH A POLO WEARER (and yes, has all the stereotypes of that attached with it — a nerd, which is hot) AND A LEATHER JACKET WEARER (which also has all the stereotypes attached with it — a rebel dude person, which is also hot) [<- all widely accepted as canon by the fandom even as he’s older]

A part of the SECOND BIGGEST ship of season two, (Nark) despite the two characters only having one-two canon interactions (one of which JUST happened last episode)

Man’s a himbo what’s hotter than that

So many fucking names. You try to tag him in anything and he takes up half the space. That’s probably hot. For someone out there

This was already mentioned but so very very trans. Like. It’s basically canon

Rock and roll(er)

Joined a group of thieves called the watermice when he was like 13

for a few minutes had a guitar called the Battle Axe of Hatred

definitely had an frienimies with benefits relationship with his childhood friend Lark (sorry ppl that don’t ship nark lol) (it’s canon after ep 44 hah)

I feel like the audio of the entire Nick-breaking-into-the-FBI scene should be propaganda, but I'm copying select bits from the transcript:

Anthony: Yeah, it kind of echoes up through the vent, like the beginning of Metal Gear Solid. You hear a voice that strikes you as ever so slightly familiar, Taylor. Saying—  ??: [a deep voice] [echoing in the vent] Where is he?  Anthony: You hear—  Will: Uh-oh, he’s hot.  Anthony: —a bunch of shouting voices.  [giggles]  Beth: Uh-oh! Anthony: You hear a bunch of shouting voices and people shouting for him to get down on the ground to turn off his flame. To fucking get his hands behind his back. You hear this rhythmic stepping forward— because his footsteps don't sound like anybody else's because it's almost like… y’know when you toss a little bit of water onto a really hot pan and it just sizzles like that? It's like every footstep he's taking, you can hear that— Freddie: Cool  Anthony: — and you can feel some of that heat coming up in this vent, even though you can't see him at this point. And he goes—  ??: [echoing] Where. Is. My. Boy? Anthony: You hear the FBI agent—the FBI in quotation marks agent—in the back going like—  Agent: [echoing] He's safe for now. If you want to go ahead and make sure that he stays that way, you feel free to go ahead and step inside the suite that we've prepared for you, my boy. Anthony: And you hear the hot guy voice saying—  [chuckles]  The Hot Guy: [echoing] I don't think that's going to happen.

...

[a powerful rush of air builds] Anthony: You hear—  [gunfire, and the air rush culminates in a burst of flame; from underneath the fire, metal music starts playing] Anthony: —plumes of flame exploding.  [a person’s pained shout, gunfire and bursts of flame continue]  Anthony: You can feel the heat radiating through this metal vent and it's actually beginning to hurt and burn your hands.

...

Anthony: And you hear blood—  [sizzling]  Anthony: —hitting the fucking ground and you hear sizzling and things boiling and burning. Taylor: That could just be coffee! That could just be coffee. Link, let's go. Anthony: And you are getting closer and closer to the elevator. And you hear that same hot voice say—  The Hot Guy: [echoing] Where the hell is Taylor?

Gable and Nicky Together:

We are on a joint ticket now! This is a truly unbeatable combo. Not even god can nerf it because Gable killed him. Vote for us. Nicky Close will watch your stuff and play with your cats while Gable gives you the night of your life.

Killian Fangbattle (The Adventure Zone: Balance):

she's an orc! she's really fuckin strong! she's a butch lesbian! she has a short fuse, loves to joke, and loves to threaten! and she is very soft and loves ducks + her lizard wife.

I don't even think I need to say anything here, we were all smitten the moment Griffin said "orc woman"

What Happened to the Voting Rights Act?

This country has a long history of disenfranchising and suppressing the votes of people of color, particularly in the South. But in 2013 the voter suppression efforts of yesteryear came roaring back. That’s when the Supreme Court gutted key provisions in the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Those provisions had stopped states with histories of voter suppression from changing their election laws without an okay from the federal government. 

Let’s take a look at how that shameful decision has played out over the years, shall we? Today’s voter suppression often takes the form of purging eligible voters from the rolls, cutting back early and absentee voting, closing polling places, and using strict voter ID requirements – disenfranchising voters of color at every turn. Voter roll purges have become increasingly common. 

Officials purged nearly 4 million more names between 2014 and 2016 than between 2006 and 2008 — a 33 percent increase. Officials in states that used to be under federal oversight purged voters from the rolls at a rate 40 percent higher than those in states with no history of voter suppression. As it turns out, Chief Justice John Roberts was dead wrong when he argued “things have changed dramatically” in the South. Election officials in Florida, North Carolina, Georgia, and Virginia have all conducted illegal voter roll purges. In Virginia in 2013, nearly 39,000 voters were removed from the rolls when state officials relied on a faulty database – removing voters who had supposedly moved out of the state. Even if you make it past a voter roll purge, you may get stuck in endlessly long lines to vote. 

Since the Voting Rights Act was gutted in 2013, 1,688 polling places have been shuttered in states previously bound by the Act’s preclearance requirement. Texas officials closed 750 polling places. Arizona and Georgia were almost as bad. Not surprisingly, these closures were mostly in communities of color. In Texas, officials in the 50 counties that gained the most Black and Latinx residents between 2012 and 2018 closed 542 polling sites, compared to just 34 closures in the 50 counties that gained the fewest Black and Latinx residents. In Georgia’s 2020 primary, 80 polling places were closed in Atlanta, home to Georgia’s largest Black population — forcing 16,000 residents to use a single polling place. And even if you get to a polling place after standing for three hours to cast your ballot, you may end up being turned away because of a restrictive voter ID law. 

Republican lawmakers in 15 states have passed such laws since the Supreme Court’s shameful decision. Texas Republicans put a voter ID law into effect almost immediately following the decision — a law that they had been prevented from passing in 2011 when the Voting Rights Act was still intact. That law has been struck down five times since it went into effect, with multiple courts finding it intentionally discriminates against Black and Latinx voters. A federal appeals court finally allowed a watered-down version that’s still one of the most restrictive voter ID laws in the country. In Georgia, the state’s restrictive “exact match” ID law — requiring a voter’s ID to exactly match the name on their registration, down to any dots or dashes — allowed state officials to throw out 53,000 majority-Black voter registrations less than a month before the state’s tight 2018 gubernatorial race. Stacey Abrams, who would have been the country’s first Black woman governor, lost the election by just under 55,000 votes — after years of her rival Brian Kemp systematically suppressing the votes of people of color. Meanwhile, in North Carolina, a court found that the state’s voter ID law “target[ed] African Americans with almost surgical precision,” and struck the law down in its entirety. Imagine all we could accomplish with all the time, money, and resources that go into prolonged legal battles against these discriminatory laws that should never have seen the light of day in the first place. Voter suppression is wreaking havoc on our electoral process. 

When the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act seven years ago, it passed the buck to Congress to update it, but Senate Republicans haven’t lifted a finger. 

In December 2019, John Lewis presided over the House of Representatives to pass H.R. 4, the Voting Rights Advancement Act, now named the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act in his honor, to restore the Voting Rights Act and stop this pervasive voter suppression. It’s been collecting dust on Mitch McConnell’s desk ever since. He and his GOP colleagues think they can sit idly by as Republican state officials suppress the vote with no accountability. They're wrong. The people are ready to fight back against their agenda and build a 21st century democracy that is representative of and responsive to our growing, diverse nation. If your vote didn’t count, they wouldn’t be trying so hard to suppress it. Make sure you check your registration, stay up to date on your state’s rules for mail-in voting, find your polling place, and get involved with organizations on the frontlines of protecting the vote. There’s no telling what we’ll be able to accomplish when we win the battle for voting rights.

Ah dammit, my reading comprehension sucks and I thought this was asking how long I've known I was nonhuman. I should have answered 6 - 10 and not 21 - 25 -_____-

More ages to follow; if you see only this post/poll, check the reblogs for an expansion poll!

Little number crunching

So someone on Reddit shared some really interesting data on panel appearances / character. 

Here are the top 10 in terms of panel time:

Izuku Midoriya  4925

Katsuki Bakugo 1695

All Might 1450

Shoto Todoroki 1430

Ochako Uraraka 1105

Tenya Ida 1062

Shota Aizawa 944

Eijiro Kirishima 918

Tomura Shigaraki 820

Endeavor 593

Momo Yaoyorozu 542

So, I decided to cross-check how much panel time correlates with popularity (adding the popularity poll votes and dividing them with the panel count). It's pretty interesting.

Bakugou is on the top as expected with 29.7 votes per panel appearance.

Todoroki is not far behind with 24,1.

Kirishima: 10,66

Momo: 8,5

Iida: 6,7

Aizawa: 6,4

Midoriya: 5,7

Endeavor: 4,7

Uraraka: 4,45

All Might: 3,87

Shigaraki: 3,0

These are some really interesting numbers. It shows that giving a character growth moments / serious arcs makes it feel like they have more "panel-time" than they actually do.

Especially, as I've seen people complaining how much time Bakugou and Todoroki get - but in reality, their numbers are not that much more than Uraraka or Iida. It's just that their appearances feel more significant to the story.

Also, Midoriya has a ton of panel-time, with an ever widening gap compared to the others, even as his character arc feels lately pretty stagnating. So it's not a question of lack of focus, but a lack of development that his popularity return is not so strong.

Out of the class 1A, the characters with the strongest numbers on “popularity return” are: Ojirou (8,6) - this was a big surprise to me, Kaminari (6,7) and Tokoyami (6,1). The mid-range is Jirou (4,9), Asui (4,2), Sero and Aoyama (2.4). The rest is below 2 and one of the worst performers is Mineta (so I'm not the only one who'd like to see less of him) with 0.5.

Based on this, I definitely would expect Kaminari and Tokoyami get more background.

Best Jeanist's "popularity return" is a crazy outlier at 86 votes/ panel appearance. That’s almost 3 times that of Bakugou's. Based on this, I totally buy that his votes were "rigged" somehow in poll 3 and 4.

The pro-heroes do really well in general: Hawks is 17,89 and Gang Orca 16,3. Others also have solid numbers: Present Mic 5,9,  Fatgum: 4,8 (they all outperform All Might), while Sir Nighteye is at a measly 1,2.

Out of non-class1a students: Shinsou is at 11 (higher than Kirishima, which seems to suggest that his underdog story-line really struck a chord), Amajiki: 3,7, while Mirio a pretty low at 1.3 (which seems to say that his back-story and character arc fell flat, and is an answer to people who think that he'd make a better MC than Deku. He's simply too flawless to be interesting).

Out of the more popular villains, Toga is 4,47, while Dabi is only at 2,8 (which is quite low, considering how crazy popular he is on Tumblr).

வாக்கு எந்திரம் மூலம் ஏமாற்ற முடியாது என்று நீங்கள் நினைத்தால், இதை படிக்க வேண்டாம்!

ஒரு மனுஷன ஏமாத்தனும்னா அவனோட ஆழ் மனசுக்குள்ள ஒரு பொய்யான நம்பிக்கைய விதைக்கனும். அதுவே மத்த வேலைகளை நமக்காக பாக்கும். நம்பிக்கைக்கு அவ்வளவு பலம். 2014- ல அப்டி வெதச்ச நம்பிக்க தான் "ஆப் கி பார் மோதி சர்கார்" (Ab ki baar modi sarkar). 2014 தேர்தல்ல எப்படி அந்த நம்பிக்கை வேலை செஞ்சுதுனு அப்புறமா விரிவா சொல்றேன். இப்போ நடந்து முடிந்த தேர்தல்ல அந்த நம்பிக்கை ஒட்டுமொத்த இந்தியாவையும் கண் மூடித் தனமா நம்ப வச்சி ஒரு பெரிய ஏமாற்று வேலைய BJP செஞ்சி முடிச்சிருக்கு.

2014 நாடாளுமன்ற தேர்தல் அப்போ மக்கள் காங்கிரஸ் மீது அதிருப்தியில் இருந்தாங்க. 2ஜி ஊழல் வழக்கு காங்கிரஸ் ஆட்சி மாற முக்கிய காரணமா இருந்துச்சு. அதே சமயத்துல மோடிய ஒரு promising Chief Minister-ஆ பாஜக முன்னிலை படுத்தி அடுத்த பிரதமர் வேட்பாளரா அறிவிச்சாங்க. 2014 தேர்தல் காக Prashant Kishor அவர அந்த தேர்தலுக்கான வியூகம் வகுக்குறவரா (Political Strategist) BJP நியமிக்கிறாங்க. அவர் ஏற்கனவே 2012 குஜராத் சட்ட மன்ற தேர்தல்ல நரேந்திர மோடி 3வது முறை முதல்வராவதற்கு வியூகம் வகுத்துக் கொடுத்தவர். அவர் முயற்சி பலன் தர, 2014 தேர்தல்காக Prashanth kishor தலைமையிலான குழு களத்திற்கு சென்று மக்கள் மனநிலை என்னவா இருக்கு, அவங்க எப்படிப்பட்ட தலைவர எதிர்பார்க்குறாங்கனு தெரிஞ்சிகிட்டு அந்த qualities லாம் மோடிகிட்ட இருக்குறதா branding பண்ணாங்க. அதில பாதிக்கும் மேல் பொய்னு தெரிஞ்சேதான் பண்ணாங்க. (அவர் ஒரு secularist போல, குஜராத் சம்பவங்களை மறக்கடித்து, மேலும் பல..)

மக்களோட ஆழ் மனதுல ஒரு நம்பிக்கைய விதைக்கணும்னா அந்த நம்பிக்கை அசாத்தியமானதா இருக்கனும். அப்படி விதைக்கப்பட்ட நம்பிக்கை தான் ₹1.76 ஆயிரம் கோடி. இவ்வளவு பெரிய நம்பர சாதாரண மனிதன் கேள்வி பட்டப்போ இது surrreal- ஆ தான் இருந்துச்சு. ஆனா கொஞ்சம் கொஞ்சமா மக்கள் அத நம்ப ஆரம்பிச்சாங்க. ஒரு கட்டத்துல தீர்ப்பெல்லாம் வர்றதுக்கு முன்னாடியே மக்கள் காங்கிரசயும் திமுக வையும் ஊழல் கட்சின்னு அவங்க மனசுல நம்பிட்டாங்க. அந்த வழக்கும் ரொம்ப complicated. அதனால அந்த வழக்கை நீதிபதி புறிஞ்சிக்கவே பல வருடங்கள் ஆயிடுச்சு. 2018 ல வந்த தீர்ப்பு அனைவரையும் அதிர்ச்சியாக்குச்சு. தீர்ப்புல அப்படி ஒரு ஊழல் நடக்கவே இல்ல, அத்தனையும் ஜோடிக்கப்பட்டதுனு நீதிபதி சொல்லிருந்தார். (மேலும் இந்த வழக்கை பற்றி தெரிந்து கொள்ள ஆ.ராசா எழுதிய 2ஜி அவிழும் உண்மைகள் புத்தகம் பயன்படும்)

ஆனா தீர்ப்பு வரப்போ மோடி ஆட்சி 3 ஆண்டுகள கடந்துருச்சு. இன்னும் சில மக்கள் அது உண்மைனு நம்புறாங்க. கேட்க கவர்ச்சியா இருந்தா பொய் வேகமா பரவிடும். பொய்யோட வலிமை இதுதான்.

2017 வருடம் கோவா, உத்தரகாண்ட், உத்தரப் பிரதேசம், மணிப்பூர், ஹிமாச்சல் பிரதேசம் ஆகிய மாநிலங்களில் நடந்த சட்ட மன்ற தேர்தலில் BJP வெற்றி பெற்று ஆட்சி கட்டிலில் ஏறியது.

பாஜக முன் வச்ச பொருளாதார முன்னெடுப்புகள் , மற்றும் அவங்களோட ஹிந்துத்துவ கொள்கைகள் பல மக்கள கோபமடைய வச்சுது.

2018 ல தான் கிஸான் லாங் மார்ச் (Kisan Long March) என்ற பேர்ல பல்லாயிர கணக்கான விவசாயிகள் நடை பயணம் மேற்கொண்டாங்க. இதுவும் நாடு முழுவதும் ஒரு அதிர்வலை உருவாக்குச்சு. மேலும் உ.பி ல ஆக்ஸிஜன் இல்லாம பல குழந்தைகள் இறந்தது, ரஃபேல் scam குற்றச்சாட்டு, Demonetization ஒரு failure ஆன method னு மக்கள் புறிஞ்சிக்கிட்டது இதல்லாம் மோடி மேலையும் BJP மேலையும் கடும் கோபத்த create பண்ணுச்சு.

2018 BJP நினைச்சது போலவே நடந்து முடிந்த சில மாநிலங்களுக்கான சட்ட சபை தேர்தல் BJP க்கு சாதகமா இல்ல. திரிபுரா மற்றும் நாகாலாந்து தேர்தல்களில் மட்டும் BJP தனியாகவும் கூட்டணி பலத்தோடும் வெற்றி பெற்றது. ஆனா மற்ற பல மாநிலங்கள்ல நிலமை அப்படி இல்ல, ஆட்சி ல இருந்த BJPய அகற்றிவிட்டு காங்கிரஸ் ஆட்சிக்கு வந்தாங்க. கர்நாடகா வுல ஆட்சிய தக்க வச்சிக்கிறதுக்கு என்ன என்னலாம் நடந்ததுனு மக்களுக்கு தெரியும். ஆனா சட்டீஸ்கர், மத்திய பிரதேசம், ராஜஸ்தான் முடிவுகள் மூலமா நாட்டுல மோடி எதிர்ப்பலை இருக்கிறது தெல்ல தெளிவா தெரிஞ்சுது.

இந்த கோபமெல்லாம் ஒரே வருஷத்துல நீத்து போச்சா? தோல்வி கண்ட பாரதிய ஜனதா ஒரு வருஷத்துல அப்படி என்ன சாதிச்சுட்டாங்க இந்த கோபமெல்லாம் ஓட்டா மாருற அளவுக்கு?

Pulwama தாக்குதலுக்கு முன்னர் வரைக்கும் மக்கள் மோடி மேல அதிருப்தில தான் இருந்தாங்க. அதுக்கு பதிலடி கொடுத்து ஒரு F16 விமானத்தை சுட்டு வீழ்த்தியதாக கூறி, அபிநந்தனனையும் மீட்டு ஒரு நாளில் ஹீரோஆனார் நரேந்திர மோடி. பாகிஸ்தானிற்கு F16 விமானங்களை கொடுத்தது அமெரிக்கா தான். பாகிஸ்தான் விதிமு��ையை மீறி F 16 விமானத்தை பயன் படுத்தியதாக குற்றம் சொன்ன அமெரிக்கா, ஆய்வுக்கு பின் எந்த F 16 விமானமும் வீழ்த்தப்படவில்லை என்று அமெரிக்கா கூறியது. இதுல எது உண்மைனு நாம தெரிஞ்சிக்க வாய்ப்பு இல்லை. ஆண்டவனுக்கே வெளிச்சம். ஆனால் சாதாரண மோடி, "Chowkidar" மோடியாக Re entry கொடுத்தார்.

"Divide, Divert and Rule" என்பதுதா அவர்களோட தாரக மந்திரம். இந்த முறை ஊழல் குற்றச்சாட்டுலாம் தேவப்படல. ஏன்னா, காலமும் காட்சிகளும் வேறு.

மேல் உள்ள வரைபடம் படி இதுதான் பிஜேபி ஆளும் மாநிலங்கள். அவங்க ஆளுற மாநிலங்கள்ல வெற்றி பெற்றாலே கணிசமான MP அவங்களுக்கு கிடைக்க வாய்ப்பிருக்கு. ஆனா அவங்களோட திட்டம் அத விட பெருசு. அவங்களுக்கு தேவை வெறும் வெற்றி மட்டும் இல்ல. பெரும்பான்மையுடன் வெற்றி. So அவங்களோட analyst team வச்சு எந்தெந்த தொகுதில கண்டிப்பா பாஜக வெற்றி பெரும், எந்த தொகுதில இழுபறி இருக்கும்னு தெரிஞ்சிக்கிட்டாங்க. மேலும் எங்க வெற்றி வாய்ப்பு கம்மியா இருக்குனு தெரிஞ்சிக்கிட்டு அந்த தொகுதிய மட்டும் தேர்வு செஞ்சு தங்களோட இரகசிய திட்டத்தை செயல் படுத்த தொடங்குனாங்க. அதுல முக்கியமான மாநிலங்கள் சட்டீஸ்கர், பீஹார், மத்திய பிரதேசம், ராஜஸ்தான், உத்தரப் பிரதேசம். Final-ஆ தமிழகம்.

தேர்தல்கு முன்னாடியே எந்தெந்த தொகுதில என்னென்ன முறை ல முறைகேடு பண்ணலாம்னு plan பண்ணி execute பண்ணாங்க.

1. சில பூத்ல ஆட்கள் வச்சு மிரட்டி ஓட்டு போடுறது.

2. EVM machines-ஐ மாத்துறது.

3. Evm machines dummy வச்சுட்டு புதுசா machine ல இரவு பகல் பாராம ஹோட்டல்ல லட்சக்கணக்கான ஓட்டுகளை ஆட்களை வச்சு போடுறது.

இப்படி பல முறைல பண்ணியிருக்காங்க. மேலும் சில வீடியோக்கல கீழ add பண்றேன். ஒரு மாதத்துக்கும் மேலாக EVM கள் சில இடங்கள்ள பாதுகாக்க பட்டுச்சு. இது போல் நடந்தே இருக்காது என்று சொல்றவங்க அனைத்து இடங்களோட ஒரு மாத சிசிடிவி footage இருக்கானு முதல்ல கேளுங்க, மற்றத நாம அப்புறமா பேசுவோம். #digitalindia

தேர்தல் ஆணையம் நேர்மையா? இல்லையா? என்று கேட்பவர்களுக்கு. அவர்கள் Aliens இல்லை, இங்கே நம் அருகில் வாழும் சக மனிதர்கள் தான். ஆணையர் நேர்மையாக இருப்பார் என்றால், லட்ச கணக்கில் என்றாவது ஒரு நாள் தேர்தல் பணிபுரியும் அதிகாரிகள் நேர்மையாக இருப்பதாக அர்த்தமில்லை.

"சரி அப்போ தமிழ் நாட்டு result அப்படி சொல்லலையே, வச்சிருந்தா எல்லா இடத்துலயும் தான வச்சிருக்கனும்" என்று கேட்பவர்களுக்கு. அவர்களுக்கு தேவை 542 இல்லை, வெறும் 272 மட்டுமே. அப்படி கேவலமா மாட்டிக்கிறா மாதிரி பண்ண பாஜக முட்டாள் இல்லை.

பாஜக ஆளும் மாநிலங்கள் மற்றும் தற்போது வெற்றி பெற்ற பகுதிகள். இதை உற்று கவனித்தாலே அந்த Mathematics புரியும்.

இவ்வளவு நடந்தும் ஏன் துளி கூட மக்கள் சந்தேகிக்கவில்லை. அதுதான் mind conditioning. மோடி வெற்றி பெறுவது, அடுத்த முறை பிரதமர் ஆவது கடினம் என்று மக்கள் நம்பி வந்த நிலையில். தேர்தல் முடிவுகளுக்கு சில நாள் முன்னர் Exit Polls வந்தது. அனைத்து survey-யும் மோடி வெற்றி பெற்று விடுவார் என Polls வந்து. ஆனால் ஆச்சர்யப்படும் விதமாக ஒரு Poll கூட பாஜக தனிப் பெரும்பான்மை பெரும் என்று கூறவில்லை.

முன்னாடியே நம் மனங்கள பக்குவப் படுத்தி அவர்கள் வெற்றி சந்தேகிக்காக வகையில் நம்மள tune பண்ணிட்டாங்க. 50 முதல் 70 தொகுதி வரை அவர்கள் EVM scandal மூலம் வெற்றி பெற்றுள்ளனர். தமிழ் நாட்டில் திமுக நாடாளுமன்றத் தொகுதியில் வரலாற்று வெற்றி பெற்ற பின்னும் ஏன் சட்டமன்ற தொகுதிகள்ல வெற்றி பெற முடியல? இந்த கணக்கு மட்டும் கொஞ்சம் இடிக்கும். ஆனா காரணம் என்னன்னு உங்களுக்கு தெரிஞ்சிருக்கும்.

இவை எல்லாம் கேட்ட பிறகு நீங்க எதோ மாய உலகத்துல வாழ்ந்து போல் தோணலாம். சந்தேகமே வேண்டாம் உண்மை தான்.

கருத்து ரீதியாக பாஜக-வை கடுமையாக எதிர்த்தது தமிழகமும் கேரளமும். இந்த 5 ஆண்டு முடிவதற்குள் என்னென்ன சந்திக்கப் போகிறோம் என்று தெரியவில்லை. நேற்று ஒரு செய்தி

இது போல் செய்தி இனி அடிக்கடி தென்படலாம். நிதின் கட்கரி அவர்கள் காட்டும் திடீர் பாசம் மேலும் பதட்டம் அடைய வைத்துள்ளது.

எது உண்மை எது பொய் என்று தெரியாமல் குழப்பத்திலேயே வாழ்க்கை நகரப் போகிறது.

5 ஆண்டுகள் ஆட்சி செய்த மோடி இந்நாட்டின் காவல்காரன் என்கிறார். பல்லாண்டு காலமாக இந்நிலத்தை தாங்களே காத்து வரும் தமிழர்களே உண்மையான CHOWKIDARS என்று கருதுகிறேன்.

பாஜக-வின் உளவியல் ரீதியான அரசியலை வெறும் தர்க்க ரீதியாக எதிர்கொள்வதில் பயனில்லை. தமிழக இளைஞர்கள் தான் மாற்றத்திற்கு வித்திடவேண்டும். அவர்களே இந்த நிலத்தின் last hope. நான் கூறிய எதையும் நம்ப வேண்டாம். வாய்ப்பிருந்தால் 5 வருடங்கள் கழித்து மீண்டும் சந்திப்ப��ம்.

Okay, I initially reblogged this on someone else's post, but to be honest, I see nothing useful in disagreeing with someone loudly on the internet, when they're probably having a rough time of it and blogging to vent. So. If we're gonna keep talking about "Well this is the consequence of people not voting in 2016" I feel like it's important to point something out here: Hillary Clinton won the popular vote in 2016 by nearly 2.9 million votes. People did turn out. They voted their asses off. And Donald Trump became president because he won the electoral college. People are voting, but their votes are not impacting the government the way they ought to.

If we are to push people to see the importance of voting as a way to shape what happens in our country, we cannot handwave away the very real dysfunction that riddles our government at the state and federal level. I live in Texas, one of the hardest states to get an absentee ballot in, where our administration is notorious for closing polling sites in neighborhoods of color and for gerrymandering. Stacey Abrams founded Fair Fight in Georgia in *because* of the widespread disenfranchisement in her home state and in Texas. And organizers are still busting their asses to fight widespread attempts at repressing voters. I lived in Missouri, another state notorious for redlining, voter disenfranchisement and gerrymandering. Movement work got a progressive candidate, Cori Bush, elected in 2021, in spite of that shit. If we want to talk the last 50 years, since 1970 the incarceration rate in the US has increased by 500%.

Do you know who can't vote in the US? People in prison.

Do you know which sections of the population are sentenced at disproportionately high rates? Black Americans. Democracy is broken in the United States. Yes, 2016 happened, and the Trump administration unmade a lot of protections and strongarmed three right-wing judges onto the Supreme Court. And---Biden ran on a campaign that promised formally protected Roe V. Wade in the letter of the law. Many Congressional candidates did too. And they have been promising to write Roe v Wade into law, for decades. They've been promising a lot of things for decades, in fact. The current administration has had nearly two years to do something to prevent this move by Alito, and they have done jack and shit. Other Promises that Democratic Candidates Ran on this Time Around: -Childcare Funding -Defunding of Police (Or if not defunding at least reform) -Healthcare Reform -Student Loan Forgiveness People have a right to be angry and feel disenchanted with the entire system of voting, when in the midst of a pandemic the democratic administration they fought so hard for is not delivering on their campaign promises. And also, if we're talking about the long tail here, we did not just get here from Republican politicians. Law passed under the Clinton Administration set the precedent that created ICE with a 1996 piece of legislation known as IIRIRA and the "Prevention Through Deterrence." Clinton's Viol­ent Crime Control and Law Enforce­ment Act of 1994 is credited with a major increase in the incarceration rate in this country. Over 542 drone strikes happened under the Obama administration. If we're talking the long tail, things don't look any better in terms of voting. Democratic candidates have been moving closer and closer to the center in the last 50 years, making promises of reformation while delivering programs that offer the bare minimum in social support. Progressive candidates are routinely mocked by the media, actively censured by their Democratic colleagues, and face the threat of physical violence in their place of work. We need to change how we're talking about voting when we're trying to rally people.

Voting is one tactic as part of an overall strategy to enact meaningful change in our country. It can not be touted as a be all end all move to solve systemic issues, because it simply won't. If we're gonna holler for people to vote, we need to treat their concerns seriously when they say "I voted, and nothing got better."

People don't want a zoom-out 50-year map to explain to them why they can't get health coverage, their job pays shit, and everything costs three times more than it did twenty years ago. They want to know how the fuck they're supposed to feed their families, stay housed, and be safe and healthy. If taking unpaid time off and standing in line for hours to cast their ballot isn't getting them that, then people will stop fucking voting. Civil Rights Activists pushed hard with voting registration and getting people to the polls, but they also had health clinics, childcare, food programs, ways to get people housing. They knew voting would not secure what people needed for a long time, so they organized in the in-between. Queer activists organized palliative care, meal networks, and housing during the AIDs crisis, but long before that there were ballrooms and whisper networks getting unhoused kids off the street, getting people fed, helping folks stay safe and paid and out of jail. Voting is one tactic in getting shit done, it is not an entire strategy in and of itself. Voting is a long-term game, but we need to talk about the grassroots community action and care that helps people survive to the point where they can see their vote matters.

CJ court watch 1jul21

Big cases last couple days, not about criminal justice, but about Constitutional rights.

Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee,  594 U. S. ___ (2021) was a 6-3 decision on Arizona’s rules on voting.

***The regulations at issue in this suit govern precinct-based election-day voting and early mail-in voting. Voters who choose to vote in person on election day in a county that uses the precinct system must vote in their assigned precincts. See §16–122 (2015); see also §16–135. If a voter goes to the wrong polling place, poll workers are trained to direct the voter to the right location. Democratic Nat. Comm. v. Reagan, 329 F. Supp. 3d 824, 859 (Ariz. 2018); see Tr. 1559, 1586 (Oct. 12, 2017); Tr. Exh. 370 (Pima County Elections Inspectors Handbook). If a voter finds that his or her name does not appear on the register at what the voter believes is the right precinct, the voter ordinarily may cast a provisional ballot. Ariz. Rev. Stat. Ann. §16–584 (Cum. Supp. 2020). That ballot is later counted if the voter’s address is determined to be within the precinct. See ibid. But if it turns out that the voter cast a ballot at the wrong precinct, that vote is not counted. See §16–584(E); App. 37–41 (election procedures manual); Ariz. Rev. Stat. Ann. §16–452(C) (misdemeanor to violate rules in election procedures manual). For those who choose to vote early by mail, Arizona has long required that “[o]nly the elector may be in possession of that elector’s unvoted early ballot.” §16–542(D). In 2016, the state legislature enacted House Bill 2023 (HB 2023), which makes it a crime for any person other than a postal worker, an elections official, or a voter’s caregiver, family member, or household member to knowingly collect an early ballot—either before or after it has been completed. §§16–1005(H)–(I). In 2016, the Democratic National Committee and certain affiliates brought this suit***

The en banc 9th Circuit said this was all terribly discriminatory.  SCt reversed.

***because this is our first §2 time, place, or manner case, a fresh look at the statutory text is appropriate. Today, our statutory interpretation cases almost always start with a careful consideration of the text, and there is no reason to do otherwise here.***

The key requirement is that the political processes leading to nomination and election (here, the process of voting) must be “equally open” to minority and non-minority groups alike, and the most relevant definition of the term “open,” as used in §2(b), is “without restrictions as to who may participate,” Random House Dictionary of the English Language 1008 (J. Stein ed. 1966), or “requiring no special status, identification, or permit for entry or participation,” Webster’s Third New International Dictionary 1579 (1976). What §2(b) means by voting that is not “equally open” is further explained by this language: “in that its members have less opportunity than other members of the electorate to participate in the political process and to elect representatives of their choice.”***

Casting a vote, whether by following the directions for using a voting machine or completing a paper ballot, requires compliance with certain rules. But because voting necessarily requires some effort and compliance with some rules, the concept of a voting system that is “equally open” and that furnishes an equal “opportunity” to cast a ballot must tolerate the “usual burdens of voting.” Crawford v. Marion County Election Bd., 553 U. S. 181, 198 (2008) (opinion of Stevens, J.). Mere inconvenience cannot be enough to demonstrate a violation of §2.***

Brendan Eich nods.  SCt decided Americans For Prosperity Foundation v. Bonta, 594 U. S. ___ (2021)  6-3.

To solicit contributions in California, charitable organizations must disclose to the state Attorney General’s Office the identities of their major donors. The State contends that having this information on hand makes it easier to police misconduct by charities. We must decide whether California’s disclosure requirement violates the First Amendment right to free association.***

The court also determined that the disclosure regime burdened the associational rights of donors. In both cases, the court found that the petitioners had suffered from threats and harassment in the past, and that donors were likely to face similar retaliation in the future if their affiliations became publicly known. For example, the CEO of the Foundation testified that a technology contractor working at the Foundation’s headquarters had posted online that he was “inside the belly of the beast” and “could easily walk into [the CEO’s] office and slit his throat.”***

The District Court also found that California was unable to ensure the confidentiality of donors’ information. During the course of litigation, the Foundation identified nearly 2,000 confidential Schedule Bs that had been inadvertently posted to the Attorney General’s website, including dozens that were found the day before trial. One of the Foundation’s expert witnesses also discovered that he was able to access hundreds of thousands of confidential documents on the website simply by changing a digit in the URL. The court found after trial that “the amount of careless mistakes made by the Attorney General’s Registry is shocking.”***

We have also noted that “[i]t is hardly a novel perception that compelled disclosure of affiliation with groups engaged in advocacy may constitute as effective a restraint on freedom of association as [other] forms of governmental action.” NAACP v. Alabama ex rel. Patterson, 357 U. S. 449, 462 (1958).***

While exacting scrutiny does not require that disclosure regimes be the least restrictive means of achieving their ends, it does require that they be narrowly tailored to the government’s asserted interest.***

we conclude that California’s blanket demand for Schedule Bs is facially unconstitutional. A As explained, exacting scrutiny requires that there be “a substantial relation between the disclosure requirement and a sufficiently important governmental interest,” Reed, 561 U. S., at 196 (internal quotation marks omitted), and that the disclosure requirement be narrowly tailored to the interest it promotes***

the pertinent facts in these cases are the same across the board: Schedule Bs are not used to initiate investigations. That is true in every case. California has not considered alternatives to indiscriminate up-front disclosure. That is true in every case. And the State’s interest in amassing sensitive information for its own convenience is weak. That is true in every case. When it comes to the freedom of association, the protections of the First Amendment are triggered not only by actual restrictions on an individual’s ability to join with others to further shared goals. The risk of a chilling effect on association is enough, “[b]ecause First Amendment freedoms need breathing space to survive.”***
