The fact of the matter is that even if we removed all dehumanizing immigration restrictions, the vast majority of people would stay where they are because barring overwhelming danger most people don't like uprooting themselves to move to a strange place where they don't know anybody
Despite all the noise about “mass exodus”, 51% of African emigrants move within Africa. Only 3% of the African population lives outside their home country, compared to 8.5% of Europeans living outside theirs.

As we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage.

Brock Purdy's alter ego makes multiple appearances in 3-TD, 1-taunt day vs. Titans.

“Some of the best players I’ve played with are very religious and very regimented off the field. And then there’s the games. And Brock, oh yeah, he’s got some swag.”

Zohran Mamdani argues that “freeze the rent” is not just a way of delivering relief from exorbitant housing costs—it is the only way to get enough voters on board with a growth agenda. Rogé Karma spoke with Mamdani to see if he has a point.

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

Smart piece. Too relevant.
Under the Third Reich, most Germans generally lived in the law-bound normative state, while Jews and other disfavored people were victims of the arbitrary and violent prerogative state.

The dual state is characterized by the facade of normalcy obscuring the fact of an authoritarian state.
The “dual state” theory was invented to describe Nazis. The Supreme Court could take us there.
Authoritarianism—but make it look like the rule of law.

@livpeluso.bsky.social two recommends from a former baker- Laundromat SF has imho the best tasting bagels in SF. Toscano Brothers (Dago Bagels) is right up there, depending on bagel density preference (try them and let me know what you think). Schlock's, Boychik, Loveski, are the tier-2 spots.

As usual, I'm mostly glad we have some of these cranky NeverTrumper conservatives in the Anti-Trump coalition, but they're still completely obnoxious and I don't ever want them to be in charge of our country ever again like they were in the GWB era.

The 49ers have no punter and only two healthy receivers, a sure sign that the roster will change more in the coming days.

The #49ers got more injury news Monday, and as usual it wasn't good.

Going live at the top of the hour to digest preseason game 1 and a very dicey wide receiver room.

Reinhold Niebuhr was also (and imo, rightly) pessimistic that education could cure political dysfunction. To his eyes, communities vote selfishly based on what seizes power for their side, and then reverse-engineer the moral arguments thusly. Can't "educate" that away.
