They can play word games all they like but "Integralists" in this context explicitly reject the U S. Constitution and hold up as models Franco's Spain or Pinochet's Chile. They are enemies of American democracy.

I think children will have difficulty following Zootopia 2 because it's about intellectual property rights and urban planning.

Neither of the posts should have legal consequences.

Unexpected dusting of snow!

True. Dodger fans mostly hate the Giants and Astros.

Yeah, looks like

Happy New Year! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

They're going to *throw out* one-of-a-kind NASA archives?! Not even a year since the Inauguration & we're already at the 2nd-time-as-farce version of the burning of the Library of Alexandria.

I would give my daycare director a cash bonus and a hug for keeping these dipshits out of the building. That's exactly what they're paid to do.

Notes: These giant bikes are fun to ride Little kids love riding in them You can park pretty much anywhere Exponentially increase the places you can reach without driving They're a lot cheaper than cars They can go places cars aren't allowed or can't fit Can carry 200 lbs of groceries Buy one!

The fact that congestion pricing worked because enough people driving into Manhattan were not even deriving $9 of value out of it shows how ridiculous the situation is. How much cost does every car trip into Manhattan impose on other people?

The federal government's targeting of Somalis in Minnesota, who are overwhelmingly US citizens, is pure, distilled hatred of black Americans.

TBH this is where treating driving like a civil right ends up.

I went to see Depeche Mode in New York and stayed in the same hotel as Andy Fletcher, and saw him around

One of the best in the series. I loved that he broke out his catchphrase in Da 5 Bloods.

I wonder how much of New York's archaic trash policy can be attributed to mafia control of waste hauling associations and the unions who represented the workers.

I am sad

does anyone here know if price controls have been tried before???

The US is at war with Venezuela. No Congressional authorization, no public debate, no clearly stated goal, no casus belli, and a gradual ramp up rather than big opening, so many haven’t noticed (or deny it). But this attack removes the ambiguity. US is at war with Venezuela. With no end in sight.

JUST IN: The CIA conducted a drone strike in December on a remote dock on the Venezuelan coast, sources told CNN, the first known US attack inside the country. https://cnn.it/490npv8

I took five (5) kids to the beach on my bakfiets this summer. It was awesome!

It's true!

Took a piss next to Ron Jeremy at a Metallica concert

It’s not our duty to just smile and nod when a man with this much power demonstrates that he’s a pathological liar and an imbecile. Quite the contrary. Real patriots say out loud this is just plain nuts and he’s unfit to hold office.

This is called "freedom" and it's pissing off the new Commissars who believe that artists must perform at the State's command

Oversimplifying things a bit, but this feels downstream of DOGE. Remember DOGE? That was going to get rid of all the fraud and waste in the government, enough to balance the budget and get you a refund check. Didn't work, but maybe if we remove all the foreign-born health workers...

The American union movement failed because it has been, in part, directly controlled by organized crime. Union boosters have been unable to admit this, which has made them unable to address the problem, and therefore unable to increase private sector unionization rates.

So in addition to requiring insurance and registration for all e-bikes, including Class I e-bikes, New Jersey state Democrats want to ban the sale of e-bikes on the internet for a 1-year period. I have no idea how they would enforce that?

Some mf is trying to sell tranches of apples containing subprime cultivars

The GOP has really leaned in to singling out Somalis for very explicit racism. Ron Johnson and the rest of the party are just loathsome, un-American people.

my latest thesis is that the neo-brandesians hate cities because they view the density of cities as a form of geospatial monopoly. yes, I know this makes zero sense on a policy level, but I’m just trying to deduce why a movement allegedly devoted to trust busting is obsessed with fighting YIMBYs

Colorado, man

I’m sorry, you aren’t finding LA climates anywhere else Florida, you say? I’ve been to Florida, Florida is its own thing but it sure as shit isn’t LA

More fundamentally, the political tension in American cities right now is between a faction who exists to protect the rents of incumbent interests and another who is allergic to any idea of trade-offs because they think there's a magic button that eliminates scarcity and only they will press it.

This plaza is legitimately one of the more important pieces of bike infrastructure in DC.

If you've ever lived in a poor neighborhood with decent transit you will know that poor people are willing to pay for good service.

You don't need to be an anarchist to think that ICE should be abolished You can be a good governance liberal who thinks that the agency has demonstrated an institutional disrespect for the Constitution, and therefore advocate for unwinding the agency and rolling its functions into a revived INS.

Given my priors, I can't quite believe I'm here, but The next administration needs to staff up the public corruption section of DOJ in such a way that the WPA looks like a neighborhood lemonade stand

Hell yeah

Daaaaaaaang

I can handle people advocating for a totalitarian society with outcomes precisely like their idiosyncratic prejudices. I just can’t handle people who are so insufferably pretentious about how they get there.

Dean Martin, born Dino Paul Crocetti, son of Italian immigrant Gaetano Crocetti Frank Sinatra, son of Italian immigrants Antonino Sinatra and Natalina Garavanta Merry Christmas to everyone except Stephen Miller and his enablers and handlers

My dollhouse furniture survived 35 years, right up until it made contact with boys

My discovery that Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, was a decadent proved unequivocally how little the sureness of my psychological grasp would be endangered by any moral idiosyncrasy: seeing morality itself as a symptom of decadence is an innovation... of the first rank in the history of knowledge.

This is John Roberts' America.

Ope

Christmas Eve Drop: Fed. judge quashes yet another attempt by Trump's DOJ to get the personal data of trans patients and former patients, and does so in sarcastic and angry fashion calling out the administration's ill-intent and lack of good faith. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
