If you ever watched the Braves on TBS at 7:05, 7:35 or 8:05 PM, you are part of a great generation.

It’s the only reason left to live here financially. Literally. And it’s not the driver of all the issues. Waste, fraud, default to “collect more to spend more” and lack of accountability are the drivers of the issues. Think they would spend the new tax money any better? We would have all the same issues, just with a larger tax bill. Tell me how any other new tax stream fixed a systemic issue in CA? I have realized that everything you ever wanna know about why California doesn’t work politically comes down to “it’s Chinatown Jake.”

Can nothing be done? Lived in California since 2011 & while overall think it's wonderful, the one thing that I've been absolutely perplexed by is Prop 13. It's the worst thing about CA & everyone just accepts it, & almost every other problem with CA is because of it.

@LeeHepner rent control works, implement it across all categories of r/e & can we get land use laws ASAP...I live near a three story condo building across the street from The Viper Room on Sunset Strip that has been completely unoccupied for 10 years, no one ever moved in, no exaggeration.

This taqueria has been open since 1961. They claim to have invented the Mission style burrito. It’s on the verge of closing because their landlord doubled their rent overnight. Why do greedy landlords get to decide whether a beloved family business lives or dies?

60 Minutes exposes a massive trucking scandal that has surged since the pandemic where "chameleon carriers" aka foreign-owned trucking companies that rack up tons of flagrant safety violations only to people to change the name of the truck, DOT number and company name to flout federal regulations: These "Networks, often owned and operated from Eastern Europe, India, and Central Asia, set up chameleon carriers in the U.S. with different names and owners, who then register with the Department of Transportation, secure minimal insurance." "You’ve got 700,000 trucking companies. Let’s just say the general estimate is 10 to 20 percent are operating somewhere in that spectrum of chameleon carriers... Thousands of trucking companies racking up thousands of safety violations: poor maintenance, excessive driving hours, drug and alcohol use, all while evading federal enforcement."

Tom Steyer about to be Governor b/c the first frontrunner abused staffers & the second sexually assaulted women. 40 million people. This is where we landed. Even if Steyer ends up a class traitor & a Bernie-crat, California Dems this is not a great look.

I am suspending my campaign for Governor. To my family, staff, friends, and supporters, I am deeply sorry for mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past. I will fight the serious, false allegations that have been made — but that’s my fight, not a campaign’s.

@slippygers was there yesterday...he's over throwing his fastball; he's in his head; he needs to throw offspeed A LOT more; his catcher sucked all day, aside from one pickoff late in the game. Also, we left over 10 runners stranded, twice leaving the basses loaded. The boys were tired

@matthewstoller I fear that "generally tolerant good people" applied before "governed by predatory oligarchs, there are messes everywhere" & the latter has been destroying the former.

Americans are generally tolerant good people, whose flaw is they are too naive and deferential to the powerful.

There's a simple reason for hostility to American culture among elites. When a society is governed by predatory oligarchs, there are messes everywhere. Yet elites can't admit that such messes are a result of corrupt governance, hence they say 'oh Americans lack virtue.' Nonsense.

Someone write me a movie where Constance Zimmer, Pamela Adlon, and Alanna Ubach play sisters. Cast Cristin Millioti as either their baby sister or Aldon’s daughter (19 years difference). All four get to be as mouthy as they like. That’s my only requirement. Maximum Mouthy.

@jowrotethis No. It has a half dozen brilliant moments (like this) and some scenes, all surrounded by two hours of boredom.
