Everything the Republican Party does should come with one of those long, whispered disclaimers informing viewers that the drug just advertised – that was made to solve a vague new illness with an endless list of the most common symptoms and that was created in an ad agency meeting – will kill you.

The Singapore government did this about 27 years ago, too. I don't recall it working to help, demographically, but "couples" certainly took advantage of the government subsidized romantic getaways.

I'm not naive enough to actually believe this will happen, but Democrats could be preparing, right now, lists of impeachment charges against (at a bare minimum) Hegseth, Kennedy, Mullin, Patel, Blanche, & Trump, as well as Bondi, Bovino, & Noem (still worth doing!) that rely purely on public facts,

Reality, itself, is under assault. And we are not prepared for what this is going to do to us. Real life and online "life" are about to diverge, violently.

This is so weird because you could just take a photo of your kid and then put a "school photo" backdrop on it using a basic photo app and it would be exactly the same, but without sending your kid's image through the sex pest factory. How is everyone so fucking dumb now?

Years ago I interviewed Houston Mayor Annise Parker who told me one of the main reasons the city was able to cut homelessness by so much is she forced all the governments and nonprofits into a room and made them use the same data system. Meanwhile in LA www.latimes.com/california/s...

The agencies use different data systems, and even different Google spreadsheets, to produce their reports and often have different bureaus within them managing different housing programs.

For example, a senior director for Bass told the interviewers that the Inside Safe program uses an internal Google spreadsheet to manage its occupancy records and does not have access to the Homeless Management Information System, the countywide database that tracks street contacts with homeless people and housing placements

You can't get anyone in political media to say it plainly, but GOP strategy for several decades now has been built around the fact that its core goals/policies are *wildly unpopular*. Everything depends on a) polluting the information environment, b) cementing unfair structural advantages, & c) $$$.

Judge Alito said overturning #RoeVWade took courage? What it took was corruption and haughtiness. Courage is a woman whose life is in danger b/c of an ectopic pregnancy and has to leave her state to get medical help. STFU, cowardly Alito. You are the danger! #Voices4Victory #DV1 #Pinks #SheShed

Picture of Judge Alito and his interview written in text about how taking away RoeVWade lost friends and he has gotten threats, etc. over the decision.
