Would love someone to do a reported piece on what it means to have a governing class stuffed with guys on Barry-Bonds-in-2001 levels of gear.

Not a single word in today's Mail about Arsenal women and the 10k fans who turned out in London to see them lift their trophy. So concerned with women's sport.

I don’t want to quote the person asking about why the trains are so dirty though I largely agree with their assessment. But often the cleanliness of Japan is attributed to cultural norms & while that plays a part the answer is that in USA we chose to fund police instead of train custodians.

I want to offer a public apology to FDA head Marty Makary for calling him an ignorant piece of shit in a post last night. I just learned he is an islet transplant surgeon. Yes, the cells that produce insulin. I was wrong. He is not ignorant. This piece of shit knows exactly what he is doing.

I mean, this is the Pacific Northwest, so—whether it's an old elementary school, shuttered prison, or mothballed nuclear power plant—the default redevelopment idea is a McMenamins.

We've asked Saka's office what the $2 million proviso (which takes money from other things) is intended to do, and gotten no response. Meanwhile Saka's office has had at least two private briefings with SDOT about the "Delridge safety project" so far this year.

When you use Grok, you poison folks in Memphis. Imagine a small child, gasping for air through a cloud of methane gas next time you type “@grok lol context?”

This is what I keep coming back to. There is no constituency for weakening council ethics rules other than council members themselves. The public does not feel disenfranchised (and of course they used unspecified marginalized people as a shield) when elected officials can't vote due to conflicts.

Remember this the next time your car gets stolen, or stuff gets stolen out of your garage, or your buddy's business gets broken into, and the cops won't even bother. Harrell's gone full clown show, and it's terrible that he's getting endorsed by people who should know and demand better.

I don't think that was the thing people were concerned about? Like... of course the show itself isn't going to have Harry look to camera and say something transphobic. The problem is that she's profiting from this.

You are thinking Pritzker '28 because he's standing up to Trump. I am thinking Pritzker '28 because he's the first governor that I've heard understand with crystal clarity and enthusiasm the importance of appointing a PUC chair for the climate and for working families. We are not the same.

The right-wing ideal of masculinity is a guy who refuses to read history, constantly whines about not being the center of attention and immediately becomes trans if a single person asks "hey are you trans?"

To me Rowling exists entirely outside of the “should we support/work with artists with troubling views?” debate. She doesn’t just think her opinions, she doesn’t just say them, she’s a relentless 24-7 activist whose whole mission in life is terrorizing trans people.

Professional drivers navigate all kinds of road conditions every day. You’re telling me that a person who just backed a semi trailer up to a 90 degree loading dock with pinpoint accuracy can’t handle driving near bike lanes and crosswalks?
