reminder that the austerity politics leading to proposed Oakland school closures would've been largely averted if commercial Prop 13 reform had passed in 2020. OUSD would've gotten $25 million more dollars in corporate property taxes and the city $63.7 million.

Hi, submarine expert here. This behaviour looks cute but actually they only display their tubes like this when they're angry, so please keep your distance

This Dayton Daily News story includes video of Dave Chapelle threatening to take all of his business interests out of the village of Yellow Springs unless it torpedos a proposed affordable housing development, which it did. https://t.co/v2JgqNY98o

Staggering that Memphis was the world’s largest city 5,000 years ago and today it’s only #2 in the state of Tennessee.

I should have known this one, since of course the court was initially created to hold Lucy accountable for her antics at the candy factory

Spiro Agnew’s Ghost @SpiroAgnewGhost

🚨🚨 BREAKING: The National Archives & Records Administration has asked the Justice Department to examine Trump’s handling of WH records, sparking discussions among federal law enforcement officials about whether they should investigate the former president for a possible crime.

Burning incriminating documents, shredding them, crumpling them and throwing them in the river, etc. show consciousness of guilt. Repeatedly EATING emotionally provocative documents? There's a decent argument that guy's just not right.

I persist in my belief that the social taboo against girls hitting on guys convinces men they're not attractive, thus contributing to many many social problems.
