Just got my property tax bill and I would like to share an image of what California would look like if Prop 13 were abolished and every freeloading, deadbeat Boomer homeowner paid the same amount in taxes as I do.

I do wonder how MIT is doing now that libertarianism is a dead ideology. I’m not sure they know how to believe in anything else.

California legalized feudalism with Prop 13 and is dealing with the incredibly obvious consequences

She signed the summary. This thing has been investigated for years, probably more than $200,000 spent on this investigation. What more are you looking for?

Gotta love patents. Is there any other field of law where judges grant 12(b)(6) motions because the plaintiff failed to cite evidence?

The facts in her complaint are basically the same as the facts in the DA’s statement, which are basically the same as what Cornell found in the disciplinary hearing. They just don’t really look like rape unless you use an unreasonable definition of consent (in which the cons would have a point).

Zechariah @zechariahj.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
I like the essay, but this specific case (where people are arguing about consent given under voluntary intoxication) is not a good vehicle for it.

This view also makes the 13th amendment relevant to Roe, which is why he got mad and dismissed that claim without analysis

There is no such thing as a voluntary intoxication loophole, but they’re going to get as many dems as they can to talk about one before they tell you what actually happened.

not only this this a tragedy, but every tragedy like this discredits progressive urbanism we cannot let severely unwell people just wither away on the street. we need more aggressive strategies (including better subway faregates) to prevent tragedies like this from happening

I don’t see how there could be countervailing interests that affect one side but not the other. To me it just looks like a way of generating settlement pressure before you have to litigate your claims (while shielding your own client from that pressure).

you should not be allowed to litigate anonymously unless you’re an actual child

The DA in the Cornell case going to the grand jury to 86 the charges is so funny. Truly an incredible public opinion relief valve we’ve built into the system.

I would like to know how come both the Christian cultural conservatives and the fuckpile that worships a blasphemous computer god are both against us. It feels grossly unfair. One being against us should definitionally get the other one in our corner.

I wonder how much of this conversation is driven by “Israel” the governing state vs “Israel” the people (which is how that word is used in the Bible, ostensibly the cultural background we mostly share in this country)

I don’t think rent control benefits urban liberals. At best it keeps poor people in the cities instead of in suburbs with cheaper land, which is exactly what a conservative would want.
