Its been said but I can't say enough good things about becoming a Premier League fan on the US West Coast. Wake up early, have a pint and some breakfast at the pub, youve had a whole day's adventure by 9am and if your team loses you have the rest of the day to get over it

Substantively this is equivalent to the looniest sov cit nonsense. Both are equally incompatible with living in a society. I don't mean this to undermine the seriousness of the situation--it is deadly serious and bad that the federal government is claiming it can do this.

What else would the "mass" in "mass deportation now" possible mean in those wretched little signs? They said "mass" specifically! On purpose! To differentiate from merely deporting criminals

You could create a false equivalency between an ego driven, capricious, extremely illegal war of aggression that has permanently weakened USA's standing in the world, on the one hand, and tax credits, on the other, implying that those are in the same policy ballpark, or you could not do that!

I toured a house recently that was built in the 1900s, charming on the outside, and also had shower stall inside the main bedroom? and a toilet?! in a closet upstairs (hastily removed because it was extremely not up to code). They should have torn it down and built a house that doesn't suck shit!

This is the thing, especially once your kids can talk and learn their friends names, those names get seared into your brain and their friend's parents names becomes completely superfluous info. "Avy's dad, George's mom, Ada's mom" is all you need and it's how the kids talk about you anyway.

We had to ask one of our mom friends that we've known for two years what her name was the other day at a birthday party for another mutual kid friend. Just in time to move to a different preschool altogether. So it goes. She was incredibly chill about it.

We need to raise taxes a lot on everybody to create the world we want and it's harder to do that if you allow everyone to believe their living standards are those of a Dickensian orphan. Affordability slop proposals to, e.g., exempt income from tax should be a five alarm fire for progressives.

Not just against minorities either, the Trump administration is using the law and their ability to subvert the law to direct money away from "Blue states" and cities where the majority of Americans live.

Looking at the street view, this is not the type of street I'm normally worried about cycling on. It looks like a slow residential street that's not a thoroughfare to anywhere. About as safe as it can get without dedicated bike lanes which goes to show you how little that means.

I do think that a peculiar affliction of the right (and tbh some liberals) is a kind of original sin mentality regarding prosperity. Past generations had to suffer even if they didn't "deserve it" and now you must bear that burden, because you're no better of a person than they were.

I bike every day, that's how I get to work and drop the lad off at daycare. We wear helmets for these trips and anecdotally I'd wager 98% or more of the cyclists we encounter are wearing helmets. Doesn't seem like "not enough helmet wearing" is a problem requiring a policy solution.

This is why "Private Equity" as a shibboleth for "bad business thing" is unhelpful. PE is one way to organize and fund companies. Some private equity owned businesses suck more ass, some less. Same with sole proprietorships, "family owned," public corps, partnerships, VC-funded etc. etc.

It's not about infidelity (lmao) or age gap or anything tawdry. Trump has always had a tenuous grasp of reality but it has demonstrably gotten so, so much worse, and he's using it to make policy (e.g., Iran) Who's showing him the slop? What are that person's motivations? Etc. etc.
