Three Democratic council members in San Diego voted against a tax that affects a small number of property owners (AirBnB-ers) but in favor of regressive parking fees in addition to a $0.35 transaction fee every time you use a meter. Democrats to the core.

Another for the #DoSomething pile this election season! Donate to Pizza to the Polls to ensure that people can stay on those way-too-long-for-a-democracy voting lines. 💪
If you have a few bucks to burn, you might consider tossing some at @polls.pizza today. That's a nonprofit that sends pizzas to people who are waiting in long lines to vote, which sounds like a funny bit but which is actually a big deal during our age of voter suppression! polls.pizza
Pizza to the Polls 🍕🇺🇸
Pizza to the Polls is making democracy delicious by delivering free food for all to polling places with long lines. Send us reports of long lines and we'll send in the delicious reinforcements.

Share this shit far and wide. Trump voter told to take off his hat, calls the poll worker a bitch, throws his hat then puts his hands on her and needs to be held back by other people.
Needs to be an ad. If Trump wins this will be every interaction we have in public from them.

I work as the official Court Soothsayer for OpenAI’s executive team. It’s my job to sit in meetings looking enraptured and say things like “incredible sir, you’ve explained this technology so simply a child could grasp it” and “woah, aren’t you worried this update is too disruptive?”

lol no get in on merit you diversity hires
Intellectual diversity is important, and faculty tilt strongly to the left. We should also acknowledge that a big part of this tilt is the complete collapse of the intellectual strand of conservatism in the US. It's hard to be scholarly and right-leaning today.

To be fair, you could probably call RFK Jr from a restricted number, say “I know about the sailboat” and hang up and on Tuesday he’ll be telling Adam Carolla about the time he was lost at sea and had to eat his shipmate
