@colblake_yqr@emilymiller There were no snipers watching the pool. I promise you. At most there were a couple barely-interested probably overweight officers around the corner.
@PhillyMayor Oh please, you have a $100k application fee for rideshare companies in Philly. I know because you priced me out. If you cared about residents you would want more competition.
@Nglmia_x If a medical provider expects abuse without an articulatable suspicion, then what are they trying to prove? Kids are represented by their parents. End of story. When did adults start giving agency to children? When did parent's rights get thrown out the window?
@GovernorShapiro What's the point? They don't bring jobs. It's just a humming warehouse that puts out heat. Really, there's no reason to WANT it. You already build trucking terminals non-stop and the old ones just sit and rot.
A few days ago I read a sharp essay in Elle Griffin’s Elysian, “Fractional ownership works for Banksy.” The argument is clean: fractional ownership is great for appreciating assets like art and businesses, but it’s the wrong tool for the places people actually live. Cities should be collectively owned by residents through community land trusts, not fractionally owned by investors holding unequal stakes.
I agree with about 80% of it. The other 20% is the part that matters, and it’s built on a false binary.

@HistorianUSA1 I just spent over 20 REPLIES with Anthropic's bullshit customer service bot (ironically named Fin) and got nowhere. Literally designed to deny. @Krishna_CR_Rao
Beyond making sure the drowning victim grabs the flotation device and not the person trying to save them (drowning persons tend to panic and grab and push/pull making a dangerous situation for the rescuerer) it never occurred to me that there was a proper way to use a life ring, and I think we just saw it.
@JeffreymGourley@VigilantFox If you're calling them repairpersons because you're afraid of the reprecussions of not, then you're already on the wrong side. You can't compel speech, and you certainly can't compel grammar, right or wrong.
