Needs to be a term for when you're on the 16th Street Mall bus and you decide, after determining the specific combinations of B.O., aggressive profanity and crowding are too much, to get off at the next stop to catch the next bus in hopes it will be nicer. #ShuttleShuffling ?

Can't be said enough. Yes, MJ revenue has grown a lot the last few years but is still a relatively small part of the overall budget. Big money always comes from income & sales taxes. Use this as a party trick next time someone asks why pot taxes aren't paving highways in gold.

It's nice they have opinions about communism now, because once you're living in it you don't get to have an opinion about it anymore.
36% of millennials polled say that they approve of communism, which is up significantly from 28% in 2018. on.mktw.net/39gGYOI

At a debate watch party, and this “drink-every-time-Steyer-blinks” rule is making for an agonizingly slow buzz.
Read this whole thread. Sounds like great reporting. Planning to watch.

The saying essentially means, "Tell me who you hang out with/walk with and I'll tell you who you are." I heard this a lot growing up from my mom and my grandma. I've been thinking about this saying a lot lately. 2/
