Once you realize every maintenance-prone piece of city infrastructure is designed to maximize union overtime, you see it everywhere.

For stealing $10,000 worth in Minnesota, the maximum is up to 10 years in prison and a fine up to $20,000. This scumball gets six months for stealing $5.6 MILLION and only had to pay half a million in restitution??? He made $5.1 million dollars profit. He'll reoffend. w.

I don't remember ever having to download a day-one patch for a Nintendo 64 game.

Just a guy with a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire outside the Ritz residences. Boarded the 9r bus. 911 called.

Back in 2023 I requested public records on how many glass repair orders @SFMTA_Muni had to do from crackheads destroying bus shelters and it was almost 2,000 per year.

This is an unbelievable clip from 2025. The fires were still burning in the Palisades and the local news interviewed the then LA Fire Department Chief Kristin Crowley. She told the news that the Fire Department was asked to take a $17 million budget cut prior to the Palisades fire. The result was that the department didn't have money to pay mechanics to repair and maintain fire trucks and ambulances. During the Palisades fire, fire trucks and ambulances in Los Angeles were sitting inoperable in a parking lot. The city had to wait for borrowed equipment to arrive. The news didn't even believe it. They took a helicopter to verify that it was true and it was. Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom successfully pinned the blame for the response (or lack of) to the Palisades fire on the LAFD Chief. She was terminated. She was culpable and deserved to be fired, but Bass and Newsom were just as much to blame as her. Bass left town before the fire. She pushed the budget cut to the LAFD. Newsom is constantly bragging about how much money California spends on fighting climate change. Newsom had recently laid out a $50 billion plan to fight climate change. $50 billion and they didn't have water or fire trucks ready to fight the fire in the Palisades. It should absolutely disqualify him from the Presidency.

I don’t even like Jake Lang, but being charged with five years in prison for kicking over an ice sculpture while leftists aren’t being charged for assaulting @Savsays is disgusting. Local prosecutors showing their true colors.

This is, unless I am forgetting one, the 4th civil rights lawsuit by the DOJ to defend Second Amendment rights in the places they are under siege: 1. Sued Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department over its years-long wait times for carry permits. 2. Sued US Virgin Islands over unconstitutional gun permit denials. 3. Sued DC over its AWB. 4. Now this Denver lawsuit. That's on top of the many amicus briefs, the ATF rule changes just announced, the upcoming rights restoration process, and so on. We are a cynical bunch in the 2A space, and perhaps that comes with the territory I guess of being activists for a right which is centered on the ultimate skepticism of government power. But it's critical to acknowledge that, in terms of federal support of the Second Amendment, we've never had it so good in modern history. The only comparison I can think of, as I often note, is the Reconstruction-era Freedmen's Bureau, which also tried hard to defend gun rights for people whose government was trying to disarm them.

@TheStrategicGC @Diarrheaprince @DrewVento I have bad news for you about WA and income taxes.

@Diarrheaprince @DrewVento No way. 13% state tax is just wild. Go to Washington instead. Seattle is my pick

Say you make $250k a year, fully remote, but have to live in the US, what city would you live in?

@SandyBro20th @RisingRachel1 @kimmy6192004 A Harvard phd who grew up in the inner city wanted to fix education by paying kids to go to school. The department of education and teacher unions killed that off because it was working.

@RisingRachel1 @kimmy6192004 Kids from the inner-city can’t afford it, but I guess that’s not your problem. I care about all children no matter where they come from.

Y’all voted for Trump to abolish the Department of Education 🤦🏽‍♀️🤔

San Francisco spends $100,000 per homeless person per year. Yet people will still claim the current methods aren’t working to control drug addiction and homelessness because we just don’t spend enough. As if the barrier between their methods and success is just political will

Just a reminder that California voters passed a referendum to prohibit illegal immigrants from using state funded services with 59% of the vote… but one liberal judge voided it.

rawmilkfiles knows exactly what she’s doing and I’m all here for it. Bring on the sheep, newborn lambs, and chickens. add in some bees and we might implode.

imagine thinking "billionaires" are the reason you can't afford gas

@ArthurMacwaters Not to mention outright hostility to the refinery industry.

I'm a native San Franciscan. I now live half a mile outside the city limits. I get called out all the time by hard leftists in SF who have opinions about Palestine all day long who've never set foot there, but freak out whenever I make a comment about San Francisco. 🤷‍♂️

@AntiquarianMuse @XFreeze Yeah, he eliminated the need for a hospital which is better.

It’s an interesting perspective to be sure. Elon is very good at making more opportunities for people to give him money. Not one fucking hospital. Not one fucking orphanage Never became Batman Spent his own money to campaign to take away lunch from under privileged children. Like I said, you have an interesting perspective

Most people misunderstand Elon's ultimate goal He is trying to make our entire civilization win. To view it as anything less is just shortsighted Elon winning means humanity winning While most people are stuck in a zero-sum mentality, he operates with a "grow-the-pie" mindset You can see all the things he built till now and also his future plans He started working on things long before it was popular or considered possible: • Zip2 & payment systems • Electric vehicles & batteries • Pure vision self-driving • Humanoid robots • Starlink Internet • AI (OpenAI) • Neuralink • The Boring Company And the future is even bigger: 1TW compute clusters, space datacenters, lunar bases, mass drivers on the Moon, and making life multi-planetary... basically driving humanity toward becoming a star-faring civilization He consistently takes on the world’s hardest problems to push our civilization forward... He freakin makes sci-fi real

@the_transit_guy All due to abuse of the legal system 🤷‍♂️

The cost overruns are a larger percentage than that of the California High Speed Rail, by the way.

Large solid tumors typically have an active region on the surface where they are attacking healthy tissue and absorbing oxygen and nutrients, and a mostly necrotic interior. An example of the necrotic interior of a solid tumor:
