Socially awkward bon vivant. I’m just here to talk sports, bikes, music, maybe bitch a little bit, and make jokes. I hate bullies and punching down.

My niece is 15. I'm horrified.
My daughter is 15, a child with a baby face whom I won’t even put in an Uber by herself. Just utterly disgusting from the same people who have spent years demonizing trans people as predators for daring even to exist. What are we even doing right now?

This is as much about how councilors and the mayor/exec branch are interacting in this new form of gov't than about homeless camps.

Nice try, but you cannot convince me the Now You See Mes are real movies. They are the posters that hang in the background of TV shows about Hollywood.

those journalists abandoned the public long ago in pursuit of book deals and cable news spots. they didnt give a damn about wmds or ice abusing latinos or black lives mattering.
What I know is there are still great journalists - even at elite media outlets - who are doing good work. Adopting a knee-jerk cynicism about all they do abandons those journalists. And it's lazy. And it plays into hands of authoritarians who WANT people to distrust all fact-based journalism.
Come on Eric….you know what these means about the Times and a lot of elite media

Another reason why I'm so glad I was never invited.
the entire 2010s apparently consisted of everyone who was ever invited to an Aspen Ideas Festival talking with Jeffrey Epstein about how much Donald Trump loved young girls

Key line: "After mislabeling 2020 events as 2025, Fox’s Sept. 4 evening broadcast explicitly drew a connection between the two periods."

So many outlets have done this continually, using the 2020 protests in Portland as reasoning for a variety of issues, from homelessness to drugs.
