I don’t have words for the two mass shootings targeting unhoused people yesterday. Our city is so unserious about actually doing anything to support unhoused people.
I'm struck by how most commentary frames the issue as violence within the unhoused community, as if to suggest lack of housing somehow begets violence.
Not once stepping back to think: maybe someone is targeting the most vulnerable among us.

My understanding is that state law requires a human driver.
According to MPR, Waymo hired lobbyists to explore the possibility of changing state laws to allow for the operation of autonomous vehicles.
I’d be supportive of an ordinance that requires a human to be physically present.

I'm disgusted at the message this conspiracy theorist, eugenicist government is sending to autistic children and the people who love them with these lies.
Initially, some moms of autistic kids eagerly accepted vaccine lies, because that way they could reject the "refrigerator mother" hypothesis, which blamed autism on "cold" mothering.
Now, those same tired vaccine lies will likely be used to blame moms who choose to vaccinate their kids.

Something that’s so striking in these emails is how…unimpressive Epstein is. He comes off as a pompous, sub-literate lech. Yes everyone is so mortifyingly solicitous of him! All fawning and flattery! Why?????

I bet they did not. That reads like some post-5PM Friday fuckery from an incensed, daft executive.
Landon Thomas’s behavior seems to be embarrassing enough to the Times hierarchy that they had their spokesman go on record insinuating to the Post that he was fired for cause. I wonder whether legal signed off on that. nypost.com/2025/11/12/u...

Might not be able to misgender them, but nothing stopping anyone from calling bigots bigots.
1. In a devastating decision for trans kids in Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and Tennessee, the 6th Circuit has ruled students can bully trans kids by repeatedly misgendering them.
Trans kids also are not allowed to return the favor to their bullies.
