This is interesting: Gavin Newsom attacks branded gasoline at the same he sells an $876 bottle of wine at his PlumpJack winery that he founded with the Getty family.
Brands for me but not for thee...
Newsom wants people to think his wine is 100 TIMES better and thus 100 times more expensive than wine normal people buy.
Fmr. Rep. Jason Isaac@ISAACforEnergy
As usual, @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom is playing the blame game and misses the point entirely. Branded gas isn't a California-specific problem, nor a grand conspiracy. It costs more nationwide because it's… branded. The real problem lies with California Democrats themselves. 🧵

This looks like AI created it, except the AI crashed in the middle of rendering.

Commies in the luxury box, feasting on capitalism. The irony writes itself.

The best (worst?) part of the Trump Era has been how completely our governing class has been exposed as hackish weirdos.

Platner enjoys complaining about misogyny after the UFC fight may be my favorite part of the night. A prospective senator bending a woman's arm behind her back and throwing her in a room? They sleep. A dude they've never heard of making a bad comment? Eyes wide open.

I am really curious what the mood on BlueSky is about the European tourists loving America during their World Cup visit. I'm already seeing some crazies on Insta suggest it's a CIA op to try and promote America ahead of the 250th, and I'm betting BlueSky is even more bonkers.

Australia banned X for children but not BlueSky.
Britain is banning X for children but not BlueSky.
This proves one thing.
It's not about protecting children.
It's about censorship and controlling the narrative.

Good parenting would help, and where there is harm, sue.

We are banning social media access for under 16s. These days kids must find their feet in a world where technology intrudes into every area of their life. I just can’t let that go on anymore. So we’re giving children their childhoods back.
English
@chadfelixg I can see something like this happening, people will not be controlled (I hope) and will eschew social media instead.

All at once every child in the UK threw their phones out their windows and gleefully rushed into the streets to play kick ball and tea parties. 'I FINALLY HAVE MY CHILDHOOD BACK,' they cried in unison.

@EmmanuelShroud @RanTeeThree “The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money.”
~Alexis de Tocqueville
English
@BobHicks_ @RanTeeThree Also, that quote isn’t really about modern “money in politics” or lobbying in the way people use it today. It’s a general warning about voters responding to incentives in a democracy, not a prediction of PACs, campaign finance, or corporate lobbying
English
@EmmanuelShroud @RanTeeThree Also:
Benjamin Franklin did argue at the 1787 Constitutional Convention that public office should not be paid, fearing it would only attract those seeking profit.
English
@EmmanuelShroud @RanTeeThree They did:
"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury."
(attributed to Ben Franklin)
English
@BobHicks_ @RanTeeThree True. Too bad they didn’t foresee money in politics.

🇬🇧 British father posted a video of his son being pulled off his motorcycle and choked by a thief who was also carrying a knife in Hedon, London.
Later, he tracked down the suspect and helped police arrest him.
Brits are not safe in England anymore.

@southlondonjohn *Sigh*
What is your objection to freedom from government tyranny?
English
@RanTeeThree @EmmanuelShroud They had a more realistic assessment of human nature.
English
@EmmanuelShroud The first amendment is an incredible piece of legislation - particularly when you think about when it was written. Such a brilliant piece of foresight. The man was a genius.

@mkhammer I swear to god I thought this was some kind of cringe humor mockumentary

It’s weird to watch the people who have owned culture and entertainment for generations put on shows this bad.

Who exactly do they think is getting ‘left behind’? This is so confusing and sad. lol
