Why is Spencer probably going to lose? Take away the ridiculousness, I think it really came down to a simple mistake. He focused on corruption and homelessness, when people‘s top priority was affordability.

Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, is a compulsive liar. That is the gist of the New Yorker article about him. Someone like that should not be trusted with controlling AI.

You shouldn’t be giving trump voters any grace. ”This isn’t my fault, I didn’t vote for this“ doesn’t matter. Just because you say you didn’t intend for war doesn’t change what happened. A drunk driver who crashes didn’t intend to crash, but we know it’s their fault.

If Eric Swalwell drops out of the governors race, then it becomes almost certain that California will have a Democratic governor because the vote will be less split. The most important thing though is providing support to these women.

Los Angeles is not broken. It’s working exactly as designed. That is the problem. The good news? When you actually get into the nuts and bolts around the specific ways it needs updating, you realize that this is all very fixable.

The thing about the LA skyline is that even though it’s not the biggest or the tallest, it physically looks like a mountain, similar to the mountains behind it.

I think people underestimate what space programs actually do. It’s not just about going to the Moon. It’s materials, computing, medical tech… things that quietly make life better here. Calling Artemis a “waste” feels like missing the bigger picture.

She did nothing wrong and she was killed by the government. They took the life of a widowed mother of a five year-old. And then they called her a terrorist. A masked man employed by the republican government killed Renee Good.

Liberal hellscape of Chicago now has a river so clean that you could take a leisurely swim in it despite it going through the 3rd most populous American city's central business district. I'd love to see the anti-environmentalists explain like this isn't a goal we could fight for in every US city.

Whether you like Zohran Mamdani or not, he is the man that New Yorkers have chosen to be their Democratic nominee, and if you are a Democrat, as I am, you should support him. I support him. And to be clear, I like him.

I need to tell all my fellow gay men that the last time we had a president who abided by "the conservative promise" (which is project 2025's real name), they let AIDS run uncontrolled through the general population and our deaths were considered convenient The heritage foundation is not your friend

California passed SB627 — banning any officer --state or federal-- from hiding their identity behind extreme masking. This is a state law, meaning even if an officer is federal, they can be arrested and charged, and only the governor can pardon them.

If we're saying words can endanger someone, laura loomer and nick fuentes are more responsible for charlie kirk's death than any liberal. To them, he didn't go far enough. These people shouldn't be armed.

Me: “my beliefs do not restrict you from living how you want. Your beliefs, however, restrict me from living the way I want.” MAGA: “But what if I want to stop you from doing what you want? What if I consider that sinful?” Me: “then go fuck yourself”

In a time where pastors are saying women shouldn’t vote and dudes are confidently calling themselves fascists on national television, I think we could really use a little bit of woke right now.

Long Beach, CA is a better Miami, FL. Hugely walkable downtown throughout, balance of density and spacious, cost of living way less volatile and, dare I say, more reasonable. Public transit abound. Invests in itself generously. People are overwhelmingly friendly. 🧵

The law is there to protect you first and foremost, not your über wealthy landlord. Population is neck and neck. California versus Florida weather is no contest. We might be fighting, but no, I won’t take questions

The reason Apple spoke nicely to trump was because he threatened them with 100% tariffs. They had to kiss ass in order to continue to do business. He’s an extortionist 

Y’all don’t realize how changed the console landscape is if the Nintendo Switch 2 gets most of the same games. I’d bet $1000 that most gamers would choose the cheaper hardware, get a portable option and be just fine with the PS4 Pro quality graphics.

The fact that the Texas government forces its schools to put 10 Commandments in classrooms, but not its counties to get early detection systems for extreme weather, shows you where state lawmakers’ priorities really are.

Of course I love America. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t be here. Like anybody you love, you want them to be the best they can be. “I love America more than any other country in the world and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually.” -James Baldwin
