A Republican Florida state representative has filed a bill that would require all the colleges and universities in the state to rename specific roads in the hearts of their campuses after Charlie Kirk -- under the threat of withholding state funding if they do not comply.

    This is fluffy shit and a complete distraction from:

    • Trump is in the Epstein files. Musk said so and Patel said so.
    • The economy is tanking fast and trump is actually being blamed.
    • They are taking away medicaid from millions in their "big beautiful ( 🤮) bill
    • They caused this shutdown so that the subsidies for our healthcare aren’t renewed.
    • They are invading American cities.

        … So in the sublemmy about stupid things that are true, we shouldn’t discuss the stupid things?

            What was your point then? I guess I didn’t understand.

              That their complaint about the post being a distraction from other issues would have been a much more reasonable take in a space meant only for “grown up” politics discussion than in a space for weirdness that also encompasses seriousness when appropriate.

                They’re talking about the news being a distraction, not your post.

          No no. It’s all true what you said. It needs to be said literally everywhere.

          I would argue this is a politics community. Sure, it’s focus is on absurd stories, but it’s still political. Just saying some stories are absurd is political.

    Drop Out Lane

    Dunning-Kruger Circle

    Bad Faith Blvd

    Fascist Road

    I think the idea has legs.

    Do it. Side benefit: campuses now have a designated vandalism zone, possibility containing damage that may otherwise have been done elsewhere. Line it with public toilets and dumpsters and terminate at a ROTC shooting range. Award bonus points for a neck shot on a humanoid target from the 130 meter line.
