"The Maltese Falcon" era of San Francisco is officially now more dangerous than the version today which makes every tech investor want to invent Robocop
I count 10 cities in 2025 that are on track to have the fewest murders since at least 1970. Newark is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1956 (though only have data through Oct this year) and San Francisco is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1942.

It's got racism. It's offensive to people with intellectual disabilities. It's Islamophobic. Happy Thanksgiving from the president

We can spend all day calling out these fascists for what they are. But we put them in power. We did. By staying home. Leaving our ballots on the coffee table. Embracing racism, sexism, or just plain apathy. Look in the mirror, America.
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

I had a phone interview scheduled with Bard admissions in 1995. It was canceled when the campus got snowed in. I subsequently and graciously declined enrollment. 😂 #LeftCoastLife
So I got in a bit of a chat about my Bard days with @whinterqueen.bsky.social and was reminded of one of my favorite "What Zzyzx was like in college" stories.
The thing about Bard is that the politics were less in a conservative/liberal split than between those who took politics VERY seriously 1/10

You say this as though journalism still exists.
Let him crash out after that but press him to stop doing this. It's fucking undignified for the office AND for journalism. Trump is a damned disgrace. I am humiliated daily to know that this beclowned madman is our president. In just the last week he's called women journalists piggy, stupid & ugly.

Yes.
America has a smelly old racist brigand for a president and it is just super depressing every single day

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

AOC: Trump is a 34 time convicted felon, and he is endorsing a a sexual harasser that has multiple accusations against them. Birds of a feather, you know, they flock together.

I don’t need a message from Newsom. I came to that conclusion on my own. I suspect most of us did. It was based on listening to what Miller says, watching what he does, and understanding history.
