I generally don't think we should make fun of people's appearances, at least not the parts of them they can't control, but I guess I'm a hypocrite because DAVID ELLISON LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE YOU WOULD EXPECT A WHINY RICH FAILSON TO LOOK www.avclub.com/david-elliso...
Not only is David Ellison lying about his film plan, it's not even a good lie
Paramount Skydance CEO and heir apparent David Ellison is very upset that the media landscape can see right through him.

NEW: Republican officials were set to vote on a plan to cut almost half of Election Day voting locations in Tarrant County, a major Texas battleground county. But all that changed when outraged voters who packed the meeting room demanded their voting locations remain open.

Razing an ugly freeway and freeing the Embarcadero likely cost this San Francisco mayor his second term. We asked if he would do it again.
The thriving Embarcadero is thanks to this S.F. mayor. It cost him reelection

It's almost like a Greek myth. The thing that is a good tool for the skilled people is being sold as a thing to reduce the number of skilled people hired.
By Cory Doctorow (GPG 0xBF3D9110957E5F4C)@doctorow.pluralistic.net · 4d agoThe other question Suresh implicitly raises is, "How can you reconcile the failure of AI in the enterprise with the individual claims of skilled technologists who insist that AI is helping them do great work?" 67/
I can hear New Yorkers: "So this is socialism? Damn, you can call this anything the fuck you want, give me more!" Zohran is proving the GOP 50 yr trickle down BS was all a lie. They don't want Zohran to fail, they NEED him to. In just 7 months what this guy has accomplished, gives me great hope.
Take note of which politicians hate him. It's because their constituents will expect them to actually do something besides ask for contributions.
Yes, but don’t discount the role of effective communication in fostering public support, especially for a program that will take multiple years to scale up. It’s been a glaring weak spot for Democrats and Mamdani outclasses just about all of them.
Now this is the kind of trash talk we can get behind. We’re containerizing neighborhoods by taking trash off our sidewalks and allowing mid-size buildings to trade in their wheelie bins for a bigger, better, cleaner alternative: Empire Bins. It’s time to put a lid on it, New York.
These people are mad at Dr. Fauci because he told them to wear a mask during a deadly pandemic.
You know, it's the strangest thing... whenever I think about these age verification things asking for social security numbers for verification I remember an interesting bit of trivia I heard: Richard Nixon's social security number is public information. I'm Richard Nixon and I approve this message.
Perfect example of this IRL. Political science says he'd drop out. Gender studies says he runs as an abuser bsky.app/profile/theb...
The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 3d agoRep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"
Gender studies does a far better job of explaining the Trump administration than traditional political science, or economics for that matter
Thank god there are no gender studies classes anymore otherwise we might be able to figure out what's going on here.

Another study on youth transition that find that about 97% of all youth who says they're trans turn out to be. Only 1.1% who start HRT stopped it for any reason whatsoever. This is, like, the fifth youth transition study that I'm aware of, and all of their results have been identical.
Xtra @xtramagazine.com · 3d agoCanadian researchers found that 97 percent of youth who seek treatment for gender dysphoria still identify as trans years later.
Works in Seattle as well - this got fixed as soon as the human anatomy was added (everything else was there for weeks)
in portland someone spray painted penises around potholes, and they got filled pretty immediately www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...
A crude pothole graffiti tactic got Portland’s attention. Please don’t copy it, officials say
Nearby apartment dwellers had a bird's eye view of the graphic murals.
