There is a word anti-partyism, but it doesn't seem to be commonly used.

The literal answer to your literal question is called "believing that US politics should be non-partisan".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-partisan_democracy
The US started as de facto non-partisan democracy. There is a de jure option.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_democracy
Direct democracy would probably give less power to political parties, but there still could be voting blocs. An example:

With Nova, I set the grid to 13 rows and left off the labels.

Based on recommendations for a Nova replacement, I tried Lawnchair. But it only goes up to 10 rows, leaving space for labels even when labels are off.

Can anyone point me to a launcher that allows 13 rows?

Epstein also owned Great St James (67 ha, 165 acres), which shields the view of Little St James from the mainland.

If we step a bit further back still we see this is where the meaning and the symbolism of the murderers row of tech oligarchs at the inauguration really comes into fruition. This is government, at home and abroad, of, for and by the oligarchs. If Elissa Slotkin doesn’t want me to say oligarchs, fine. We’ll focus on Trump wanting to be King. That’s another reason why he likes those folks – even the ones who bankroll Hamas. They’re kings. They get it. They’re Trump’s kinda guys.

Using a combination of top day, mark read on scroll, and hide read, I regularly reach the end of the internet, and am glad.

It is laughable to think this is true because Trump follows news about himself and his administration quite closely, and this is all over the news.

It is also characteristic of Trump to say he "knows nothing about" all kinds of things that he wishes he knew nothing about, from George Papadopoulos to Project 2025.

I do not assume he is telling the truth. I assume he is lying. My interpretation is that the commenter you are responding to also thinks that he is lying, because it would be laughable to think this is true.

When I'm scrolling through posts, I can set the display to show the community or not, show the user or not, but I can't show the URL itself. Really all I want is to see the domain, so I can judge if a click will be taking me to dailymail or rawstory or msn or foxnews.

This information is available in the website view as highlighted in the screenshot.

Is this a missing feature or am I just missing the setting?

Edit: Feature added. Thanks, Rubén!

Who's gonna tell him?

The earliest known use of the name America dates to April 25, 1507, when it was applied to what is now known as South America. It is generally accepted that the name derives from Amerigo Vespucci, the Italian explorer, who explored the new continents in the following years on behalf of Spain and Portugal, with the name given by German cartographer Martin Waldseemüller.

This is the underlying article written by Caroline Giuliani: https://www.vanityfair.com/news/story/caroline-giuliani-trump-kamala-harris

This article traces the source of this particular long-time delusion / fabrication:

After Trump made the claim in 2019, Trott contacted CNN to note that at a roundtable event with automotive executives in 2017, Trump had suggested he received the “Man of the Year” award at a 2013 event in Michigan where Trott had invited him to give a speech, a Lincoln Day dinner Trott had chaired in Oakland County. At that event, Trott gave Trump a framed copy of Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address and other gifts. But Trott emphatically noted that he did not give Trump any “Man of the Year” award, nor did anyone else there.
