I need Democratic online types to understand that because of this, Newsom is dead to me. Dead. I'd sooner vote for an actual corpse. There is no hope, none, that he'll win me over, *because he has established he is a bad person*. There's no coming back from this. Take my advice and move the fuck on.
1. This morning, California Governor said he was in "complete alignment" with anti-LGBTQ+ hate-influencer Charlie Kirk of TPUSA on transgender sports.
He also conceded on trans inmates and gender affirming care for youth.
It's so much worse than being reported.

It’s a rainbow dumpster for Pride Month! The rainbow dumpster was found at Seattle Pride in the Park. Drawing made using Mr. Sketch “smelly markers” and a glass dip pen I bought 2 years ago and swore I’d use a lot (this is the first time I used it).

Massive respect for 9th Level
Roll20, which owns DriveThruRPG, told Rebel Scum's designer (@9thlevelgames.bsky.social) that allowing their "hateful content" and political speech on its platform constituted a "slippery slope."

The Times saying last year they'd no longer endorse candidates in local elections, then immediately being like "oh but not THAT guy" 10 months later because the candidate wants free buses gives away the whole game. "Objectivity" means you break your own rules to punch left as much as you want.

AI tools offer benefits, but I think we’re unprepared for their rapid impact on our economy & society. In our pursuit of growth, we’ve overlooked the need for thoughtful reflection & strategic planning. While AI may help some get ahead, I worry it will significantly worsen existing inequalities.
