This is a real plan. “Throw trans people under a bus a little harder” is not a real plan. That’s the thin end of the wedge.

So what? If they dodge these rules, we make up more rules. Sometimes it takes a few cycles. But ultimately tax exemptions are supposed to be for the public good and the public can take them away. 🤷♀️
Prediction: AB 1780 (ending legacy/donor admissions in CA) will backfire. In its place will be a whole series of activities and clubs for potential students to show they are committed to Stanford & USC years in advance of applying. These will be even more expensive and exclusive in the long run.

Some people do the NYT crossword after lunch every day at work and sometimes I join them, so I actually ran across this in the wild today: “acronym for pro-housing movement”, 5 letters: YIMBY.
ALT filled out mini crossword puzzle with the word YIMBY in it
logged on here and everybody seems to want me to work in the office five days a week and then do laundry by hand thanks everyone I'm out
All universities that do legacy admissions are fundamentally corrupt institutions that should be stripped of their tax exemptions and that's my opinion.
"He's Catholic" is not an excuse. First off, nobody forces him to be a Catholic. And second, the Catholic Church wouldn't be so big if they really expected people to believe half of what they technically preach. Source: my home town has been Catholic since before Charlemagne.
In practice "Catholic doctrine" is the hobby of some sexually frustrated theology professors and the only reason the church is still as big as it is is that most people simply ignore it. If everyone in my home town can do it so can Mr Marohn.

We've known about the Purple Line tracks for years.

I seriously hope that all the VCs give lots of money to the tervy Republican lady running against Scott Wiener rather than trying to influence politics in ways that are actually feasible. 🤷♀️

Also keep in mind that the IBA is effectively a wholly owned subsidiary of the Kremlin. Seriously. Short version of the story is: when they were about to go bust in 2020, Gazprom paid off all their loans and became their one and only sponsor. Full report: mclarenglobalsportsolutions.…
Race as a way of categorizing people is a bullshit racist concept but also you can't fight bullshit racist ideology by pretending its bullshit racist concepts can't have real world implications just because they're bullshit and racist. I actually think most people get this.

now he's saying that Buttigieg doesn't have children? he adopted newborn twins. babies. he didn't personally give birth to them, sure, but I have it on good authority that most men don't; by that standard Vance isn't a real parent either.

Of course she's going to be more aggressive with the procedural shenanigans than Biden. She was in San Francisco local politics for years.

All the people who wanted Biden to drop out because they stood to benefit from the seemingly inevitable ensuing chaos really underestimated his tendency to get his legal and coalition-building ducks in a row before he does a thing.
