Nothing but respect to Mary and Mark Stevens for saving the Oasis, a beloved queer arts space. This kind of gift should be a model for Bay Area philanthropy.
Exclusive: S.F. drag club Oasis saved with multimillion-dollar gift
The LGBTQ cabaret and club was slated to shutter after New Year’s Eve, but will now continue, Oasis owner D’Arcy Drollinger confirmed, calling it “a Christmas miracle.”

If Adobe products being garbage somehow leads to the preservation of the republic I promise to finally implement Bridge
This is perfect. The DOJ's embarrassing snafu with disappearing redactions was the fault of Elon Musk. Musk cancelled government subscriptions to Adobe programs that would have made the redactions permanent. What a pack of fools.

ICE agent recognized out Christmas shopping—throws tantrum when citizens profile him.
"We're trying to prevent you from kidnapping our neighbors," they say.
"I'm not doing anything but walking, leave me alone!" he yells.
"Not right now you're not—but the past 5 days you have."

Trump: If we build more housing, the price of homes will go down, and homeowners will lose their wealth.

I can’t stop thinking about the Tom Brady drama through the lens of a heist movie. Master thief has everything in life except the thrill of the action. Comes out of retirement for One Last Job, despite the love of his life saying she’ll leave him if he does. Pulls off the heist but loses everything.

One big takeaway from Mamdani bringing YIMBYs into his transition is that advocates can often gain a lot of power by
1.) having useful answers to questions and accurate information
2.) being reasonably polite and pleasant to elected officials
3.) understanding the actual mechanics of government

This feels like the Patton Oswalt bit. Can we convince the billionaires it’s the apocalypse so they use one of the AI med beds and it decides to skin them and use their hide to make a purse.
Here is a glimpse into that secular version of The Rapture:
"The underground abode will be decked out with a number of lavish amenities such as wellness areas, gourmet dining, and a medical suite with robots for doctors."

I am extremely fucking tired of this attitude, online, irl, everywhere, that earnest diligent work in a little corner of the world trying to make everyone’s lives objectively better is cringe or annoying or insufferable. It is widespread, cynical, and degrading.
boy the housing development nerds are insufferable, unpleasant shits about housing development that doesn’t meet their ideal platonic standards (without bothering to understand why something was built the way it was), sorry, YIMBYs, some of you are extremely fucking obnoxious

This is likely going to get me yelled at or at least grumbled about again but lots of young people were not told the truth about PhD programs over the past 2 decades. There wasn't an honest accounting that most of them were not going to get tenure track jobs even if they really wanted them.

Imagine how nice some planters and additional seating here would be? Maybe a bench or even shelter for the 47 bus?

Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

I saw this in person with my dad as a kid - probably around the time this was recorded - and I felt like I was watching sorcery. I can vividly remember him throwing the card into the watermelon and could not understand that such a thing was possible.

Nothing against OKC and the Blue Jays - two great teams who deserve success - but this plus the Dodgers win would be the absolute all time fuck you from the sports gods.
Look all I'm saying is that it's gonna make the WH so fucking mad if the Spurs win the championship because the star of the team is French and a significant portion of their fanbase is Latino. If you're looking for a team to root for strictly on the basis of schadenfreude you can do worse than SA
