i think we should have a legal wealth-cap of about 1.5 million dollars per person. that's about 3 times the national mean. i don't think there's a good reason to let anyone have more than 3 times the average.

question for anyone who wants to answer because i'm actually kinda curious what folks will say: what do you hate most about gavin newsom? for me it's that he vetoed SB 1047, a major piece of AI safety regulation.

One of the biggest drivers of high housing costs is that a small, highly motivated group of incumbent homeowners block new housing in their neighborhoods and almost no one is organized to push back. Young people bear the brunt of that imbalance. Be a housing fan.

Weird question...but if your first language is something other than english or french, can you send a voice memo of the way people who speak your language tend to pronounce croissant to hankandjohn@gmail.com?

i just found out both of my senators, both of them democrats, @bennet.senate.gov and @hickenlooper.senate.gov, voted against this. i'm appalled. israel is brazenly trying to ethnically cleanse the gaza strip. i called both their offices to complain. i wish i could do more.

Senator Bernie Sanders@sanders.senate.gov · last yr.

By a vote of 27-17, Senate Democrats voted to stop sending arms shipments to a Netanyahu government which has waged a horrific, immoral and illegal war against the Palestinian people. The tide is turning. Americans don't want to spend billions to starve children in Gaza.

*putting the finishing touches on my Puppy Torture Device* Technology isn't inherently good or evil. It's just a tool. What matters is how you use it.

obviously there's more important things happening, but, man. i thought it was just rumors, i didn't think they'd actually do it. but the folks over at google really are just, deep-throating that boot, huh.

recently heard news folks on the radio chastising people for celebrating the ceo murder. i don't remember anyone talking like that when bin laden was killed in 2011 and there was literal dancing in the streets. not gonna condone either, shooting people is mean, but like, whence the difference?
