Yeah. Just because elite liberal culture has started to annoy me doesn't mean my politics will change. The fate of the nation, and the people in it, are infinitely more important than my personal annoyance.

Lmao tides really are turning, now even the governor is referring to CEQA as "Ronald Reagan's law". I told the boomers and Malthusians they really overplayed their hand with that UC Berkeley lawsuit. They should've listened and just sued sidewalks and bike lanes instead.

.@GavinNewsom: "CEQA is now so damn abused that I remember being mayor trying to do a bike lane and we were sued under CEQA for expanding bicycles. It's a serious thing. That's the world we created, at least Ronald Reagan created."

Video shows Israeli riot police clashing with mourners at the funeral for Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, who was killed two days earlier. At one point, the tussling becomes so intense that her coffin almost topples to the ground. https://t.co/TdJwueeOAU https://t.co/HvK8rnFCe8

North Berkeley NIMBYs have rebranded their activism again, now putting up a website full of lies about land being sold ect all to justify downzoning the parking lot. Daily reminder to get your @NBerkeleyNow lawn and apartment window signs, Berkeley.

American babies require formula until they are twelve months old, but interestingly Canadian babies can transition at nine months — perhaps a genetic difference?
