Being more likely than packing the court still doesn’t seem likely. They haven’t shown any willingness to actually do anything of substance and this would be a huge thing to achieve. I hope I’m wrong though.

from the article for those curious about how it’s framed:

All this sounds like pie in the sky, if not “un-American,” right? Actually, there is nothing in the U.S. Constitution that mandates either single-member congressional district or first-past-the-post balloting. A 1967 congressional statute requires single-member districts. Legislation to repeal or replace it would arguably be easier to enact that some blatantly partisan Court-packing scheme or a ban on partisan gerrymandering that might not pass judicial muster.

It’s possible that Callais’s impact is so dire that it would make such radical reforms suddenly possible and perhaps even palatable across party lines. When it comes to gerrymandering, we are clearly entering the “hyper-partisan doom loop of escalating division and polarization” that led Drutman and others to embrace proportional representation and fusion voting. Donald Trump is the perfect expression of the prevailing style of politics, and Democrats who fear and despise him should think hard and think big about how to escape the poison.

The idea is proportional representation, and “could” here of course means if we grant that it had any real chance of happening.

Respectfully disagree.

While it doesn’t comport with many (better) people’s concepts of it, these people aren’t all hopped up on secular humanism when they ban books and open de-transition centers

Nice. I never use it so I didn’t notice. Thanks!

Installation was pretty easy. RCS is only available through the Google Messages app, and even then only seems to work with certain carriers. Other things that don’t work are NFC payments, Android Auto, and any app that uses the the Play Integrity API since it requires access to device identifiers.

Some apps can be hit or miss, but there is an option to disable some of the exploit protections on an app by app basis, and that can sometimes get you signed in and then you can re-enable them.

I make use of multiple users to keep certain apps isolated further.

The forum is a good place to check the compatibility of specific apps. Personally I haven’t been very inconvenienced, and the trade off is well worth it.

Edit: Android Auto does work now

“In 1970, men had twice the sperm count as our teenagers do today,” Kennedy said Monday. “This is an existential crisis for our country.”

“men in the '70s” = men in the 1970s, not “men in their 70s”
