I find this “Out-of-Town” framing pretty annoying. If you’re against large scale investors say that. But by framing it like this, you are implying that everything would be peachy if the investors would be San Diego based.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say it’s not Trump.

Not to be a cynic but how many people are gonna follow this vision over “Lamborghinis, Mansions and Private Jets” which is what the right wing grifters promise.

The virtue signaling to the right is off the charts. The replies here and on Threads are *chefs-kiss* I really hope he gets primaried.

Isn’t a gift always complimentary?

Don’t worry, he was only a right wing politicion not a climate protester, so they let him go afterwards. apnews.com/article/gree...

What part of “Don’t talk to fascist” don’t you understand?

Folks telling me they HAVE to continue using Twitter bc they need to keep tabs on what folks are doing over there and it's important to "not cede platforms to Nazis": 1. Do you also use Truth Social? 2. Twitter isn't taken over by Nazis, it is owned and run by one 3. You're paying rent to a Nazi.

What an incredibly dumb headline. Yes temporary visas are easier to get than long term work visas.

If you want to see the true rage of the American people, have TSA go on strike.

North Park Planning Committee elections are coming up. I'll be voting for the @bikesd.bsky.social recommendations who will prioritize hardening 30th street lanes, bulb outs and many other pedestrian safety improvements.

How is this the best case scenario: a coalition between CDU/CSU and SPD with a right wing populist as chancellor. This only works if the FDP (the liberal democrats) won’t make it into the parliament … #germanelections

Elections in Germany. Still less of a joke than in the US.

Let the MAGA civil war continue!

Does anyone know what Elon Musk’s work is?
