Great columns by Margaret Sullivan

She’s a great columnist. It’s worth subscribing to the Washington Post just to read her columns.

Houston’s Beer Can House

I saw the Beer Can House on the History Channel today. I had never heard of it. Houston doesn’t have any zoning laws.

Update on gerrymandering in Kansas

The Kansas Supreme Court said "yup, racist gerrymandering is totes cool and super constitutional" https://t.co/7s3nl4bDPd

BREAKING: The Kansas Supreme Court upholds the state's congressional redistricting map, issuing a landmark decision in Kansas that says gerrymandering is not a violation of the state constitution. Will have more soon. #ksleg

#NEW: The KS Supreme Court has approved Kansas's state legislative maps.

Oral argument was conducted in the Kansas gerrymandering case Rivera v. Schwab.
KS voters & @loud_light, with the support of the NRF, effectively argued that the enacted congressional map is a partisan gerrymander & dilutes the voting power of minorities. https://t.co/UEZfj0JBRj pic.twitter.com/7V7zyx3xYB

KS Supreme Court is wrestling with the question of whether the guarantees in the state constitution's Bill of Rights preclude partisan gerrymandering in congressional districts and, if it does, how improper partisan gerrymandering is defined. #ksleg https://t.co/s7y5jQopWC

Twitter thread on park bench memorials

Make sure to read the thread for other great ones.

Covers: Palisades Park

“Palisades Park” was a 1962 hit for Freddy Cannon. It was written by Chuck Barris, creator and host of the Gong Show. The Ramones and The Beach Boys are among the artists who covered it.

The actual Palisades Amusement Park closed in 1971.

Who should play Trump?

Some great answers. My favorites were the orangutan and Rosie O’Donnell.

So honest question (because you know it’s going to happen)…what actor, dead or alive, is best suited to play Donald Trump?

Gerrymandering in New Hampshire

This map would polarize the state's two seats: #NH01 from Biden +6 to +1 and #NH02 from Biden +9 to +14, potentially depriving GOP of winning #NH02. Will Gov. Chris Sununu (R) sign in? We'll find out. https://t.co/d3GR5RAK0n

The New Hampshire Supreme Court has announced that it will impose a "least-change" congressional map by the end of the month if the legislature & governor don't agree first. Let's see if this scares them straight. https://t.co/eOjhkgfrJT

The New Hampshire state House has passed this congressional map, its second attempt to draw a better map for Rs. Gov. Chris Sununu still isn't on board, though. https://t.co/Bw1IpBNxah pic.twitter.com/uq0pyYb7Au

Despite opposition from Gov. Chris Sununu (R), this congressional map has passed committee in the New Hampshire state House. https://t.co/Bw1IpBNxah pic.twitter.com/SrbnWQx2Fs

Republican legislators have proposed a new congressional map for New Hampshire in an attempt to break the logjam! Up and analyzed on 538: https://t.co/Bw1IpBNxah pic.twitter.com/eHB1WQ4mVJ

Here's why New Hampshire redistricting is at an impasse: Sununu wants a map that can elect two Republicans but the legislature keeps trying to tell him that's not possible anymore.
— Drew Savicki (@DrewSav) April 25, 2022

Governor Sununu vetoed independent redistricting twice and it is looking increasingly likely they will need to call in a special master to draw the New Hampshire congressional map.

Update on gerrymandering in Missouri

Also last night, the Missouri state Senate passed this congressional map that had already been approved by the House. It now goes to the governor for his signature. https://t.co/TBvZ5MUnEt pic.twitter.com/mtqYr3DCM7
— Nathaniel Rakich (@baseballot) May 13, 2022

After 4+ months of often-acrimonious debate, the MO Senate appears poised to move the previous question on a 6-2 R:D congressional district map. In the last 2 decades of Republican chamber control, this will be the 1st time that motion is used against dissenting Republicans.

Philadelphia bombed its own citizens on 5/13/85

Terrible action by the city

#OTD in 1985, the city of Philadelphia dropped a bomb on a row house in West Philadelphia occupied by members of the MOVE organization. 11 people were killed, 61 homes were destroyed, and more than 250 citizens were left homeless.https://t.co/VUWvpObkon
