This is textbook example of getting your news from Millionaires owned by Billionaires. They are complaining that their empty $60M buildings will lose value, and they have yet to talk to the new mayor about rent (hours after the election).
Do you think anyone talking here buys their own groceries?!

Canadian multimillionaire and Shark Tank guy Kevin O'Leary went on TV to say he's upset Zohran won't talk to him: "I and others who invest in real estate have tried to get a meeting to figure out what's rhetoric and what's policy. So far for me it's been crickets."

I know the temptation is to just scroll past this with a “not surprised” reaction, but you should read this if you have the emotional bandwidth to encounter horrifying slurs and violent sentiments, because there’s an important takeaway: extremism is often performed to reinforce an in-group’s bond.
POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

Employees are back, bosses say. In California? Not so much
Even as managers across the U.S. say there's been a jump in the number of people working from the office again, attendance in California is still less than half of what it used to be.

Gutting funding for public media will cut off news sources for millions of Americans.
That’s exactly what Trump wants: to exert even more control over the news and information that the public receives – or doesn’t even receive at all.
It’s a hallmark of dictatorship.

Oxford University Press’ word of the year 2025. Perfect follow up to *brain rot* 2024…
I'm going to be honest here, I think AI is going to do so much damage to the usable internet that even after it's inevitably crashes out, it's going to take years to disentangle from every space it's polluted, like digital asbestos it's gonna be time consuming effort and likely expensive venture.
I think AI is going to eventually tank in the longterm, but...
the only real way to combat this is single-interest communities. Forums, user comms, etc, with a barrier to entry. They become trustable knowledgebases. It's really the only way forward is to return to what worked best the first time
