A fun fact about Gavin Newsom is that when he ran for his first term as governor, he secured the critical endorsement of the nurse’s union by promising to set up a single-payer healthcare system in California…an idea that he dropped immediately once in office.
maybe worse because there's not even a such thing as newsomcare
Gavin Newsom is Mitt Romney for the Democrats, a department store mannequin who will lose in a general election

What kind of world are we living in where even PROPUBLICA is threatening to jump head first into AI slop and their union has to fight back against it?
How could anyone even think an LLM could replace anyone who does the kind of work that they do there?

12 game suspension just for going on Adin Ross's show, anything he does on there gets tacked on only after that
On a livestream yesterday, Puka both:
- Said that the Refs throw flags that they know are bad to brag to their friends in group chats, and
- Told Adin Ross that he'd do a "covetous jew" celebration on his next TD score
Suspend him tbh

I think it’s bad that the median Democratic position when it comes to trying to talk some sense into Republicans is to be like, ‘Remember when you guys were sensible like Ronald Reagan?’
A party that constantly has to hand it to Ronald Reagan every chance they get is not a party that represents me.

The presidency once served as a reminder of our common humanity. Ronald Reagan described its purpose as building "a nation composed of good and decent people."

this will only change when democrats punish or threaten to punish
Also, I get why the networks caved and agreed to air a clearly political speech not related to breaking news: They're scared, it's his first year back, and it's not worth the blowback. But the same networks refused to run Biden's Democracy speech and Obama speeches on health care + immigration.
In case you missed it, Trump's speech tomorrow will interrupt the finales of SURVIVOR and THE FLOOR for people in the Eastern and Central time zones. He could've easily started the speech at 8, and I'm sure the networks suggested that to the WH. The WH didn't care; viewers of both shows will suffer.

On that last post: I genuinely cannot think of any good-faith reason to bar international adoptions from those 39 countries. Under this new ban, consulates will refuse adoption visas for any baby from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nigeria, or any of the 39 other countries.

I was worried Trump would exterminate Gen Z by sending them to chase narco ghosts in the Mexican desert instead he’s sending them all to die in the jungle mountains of Colombia.
Either way sucks for all of us.

Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."
