Watching El Salvador completely unfuck itself in like a 2 year span by actually enforcing the law and having a non corrupt leader has turned me into much less of a libertarian. I’ll argue personal freedoms when I can walk alone at night safely

@TheAliceSmith Max 5 year sentence in Canada if you murder a baby less than one year old.

You weren’t stupid enough to believe abortion would stop at the unborn, were you?

[FreedomToons @Freedom_Toons]

The prophecy has been fulfilled

Enough with this mental illness bullshit. We need new laws and new jurisprudence putting an end to this bullshit. Start with the red states.

Wild how San Francisco takes an average of 593 days to issue an ADU permit, but can shut down an outdoor concert in 30 minutes.

When I was at the United Nations Commision on Narcotic Drugs earlier this year, there were at least 60 organizations presenting on a similar topic: "Decriminalization and legalization of drugs." Most of those organizations were funded by the Tides Foundation or Open Society.

@adamscrabble He was a top tier consultant. All-in on your cause all the way to living the lifestyle. Your would want that on your team. Until to realize that's only reliable for three years or so at a time.

@grok But why can't the other apps decide what i need? Why do i have to be the one who selects model and move when they're supposed to be so AI smart?

The San Francisco Opera has a “Curator of DEI” and affiliated staff but is going to cut musician pay 20%.

[Eric Schmitz @EricSchmitz1]

It’s UNREAL that these slides are from an actual FBI report.

Traditional Latin Mass. Conservative family values. Opposition to abortion. “Rejection of modernity.”

As a Catholic who attends the TLM, it’s disturbing to see ordinary Catholic beliefs and practices presented in this context by the FBI.

I’m grateful to the Trump administration for bringing this detailed report to the public and taking steps to ensure this never happens again.

@TheRabbitHole @Costco @costco, i would happily pay another hundred dollars a year for a higher tier membership so you can open another hour earlier to keep another tier of welfare recipients out of your stores. or go country club style rates while you're at it... let me in at 6am to keep all EBT out.

[ISO @isohavok]

@TheRabbitHole costco employees used to be in-n-out burger quality hustle, and now it's minimum wage fast food level cleanliness. the check out clerks in the sf bay area costcos are literally yelling across to each other in foreign languages 90% of the time as i'm checking out @Costco

[ISO @isohavok]

costco was one of the last bastions of american civility in the the urban american landscape and particularly in the sf bay area, but now you could barely go through go through the costco gas station without some unnecessary honking or cutting off of cars as they make their way to refuel.

You can count on SF to live like it's 2020 with special "mask hours" at the Exploratorium.

As dumb as it was in 2020, it's incalculably dumber now.

[FischerKing @FischerKing64]

In other words, "broken windows" policing works. If you prosecute people for the small stuff, you pick up most the people who do the really bad stuff - and prevent a lot of crime before it happens.

Of course then you get "over incarceration," and the pendulum swings back again.

[Roman Helmet Guy @romanhelmetguy]

Imagine being a tech VC right now and the left would cheer if someone shot you dead on the street whereas the right just wants you to stop hiring so many foreigners but you're an ethnocentrist who hates Americans so you attack the right.

[Larsen Jensen @LarsenJensenUSA]

This chart is why a huge chunk of the American right will never trust Flock.

If Biden had this network at scale, his DOJ would have used it to hunt anti-vaxxers. Track them. Fine them. Confine them. And, according to the poll, have support to take their kids.

29% of Democratic voters said they supported temporarily stripping custody from parents who refused the COVID shot. 59% backed house arrest. 48% wanted people jailed for publicly criticizing the vaccines.

Remember.... Silicon Valley was all-in on vax passports at the same time this poll came out. They were the most hysterical about it....

Biden-era DOJ overreach + that level of public support + a searchable national camera network = a nightmare for freedom.

That’s the whole argument..... Is this tool too powerful to hand to people who already told you what they’d do with it?

Many think so.

Proof that being good at making money in finance often involves being unethical / willing to exploit founders and workers, having connections, nepotism, and has zero do with being thoughtful, circumspect, or well-read.
