Punishable by a fine means legal if you're rich
A dude giving me an estimate on moving me told me that a super wealthy dude in the area had a zoning permit for one story but built three instead and he just pays the $10k+ in fines to the town every year.
Let that sink in.
Rich people can afford to do whatever they want.
They are not like us.

Children are a marginalized population, and too many otherwise "woke" people tolerate anti-child bigotry in the form of childfree discourse
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

I think Matt Gaetz sucks and yet I also think that making him the central villain in a story of a homeless teenage sex worker is missing the point. This is a girl — now a woman — who was so colossally failed at every point that Matt Gaetz himself is almost incidental to the story. Which is not…

I'm attending a workshop hosted by @techpolicypress.bsky.social tomorrow. They invited me to write a "provocation" about the state of technology and democracy right now.
I think I wrote something appropriately dark and foreboding.

Media standards:
1) No Democratic scandal on par with Trump-Epstein, so it’d be biased and unfair to five it much attention.
2) Trump wouldn’t be shamed into resigning and his cult of personality wouldn’t abandon him, so Trump-Epstein wasn’t worth pursuing.
Way too many think that’s journalism.

JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."
