I'm not saying that a Task/Mare of Eastown crossover episode with Abbott Elementary is the best idea in TV history but it's definately not the worst.

I’ll say it again, the Utah State shooting situation has shown the biggest divide in black and white opinion since the OJ verdict.

YIMBYs are on a winning streak — so where's the housing? Three ideas to fix the crisis
SF YIMBYs keep winning, so where's the housing?
Legislators and voters have approved novel ideas to generate funding for housing, but a lack of political will has scuttled them. Time to go back to the future?

Most folk had nothing to say when Jemele Hill, Don Lemon, and Joy Reid were pushed out. They pretended it was about ratings or "sticking to sports" or "objectivity." Basically "price of eggs, but make it news🤡"
They had barely a whimper when major US newspapers purged.
Now with Colbert tears come?

The SF mayor situation reminds me of Dinkins —->>> Giuliani back in the day. The new mayor benefits from former mayor’s decisions, changing macro climate, and “intangibles” and reaps all the political goodwill/benefits.
