Although he’s pretty pissed that he didn’t change parties.

It represents sweetheart event promotion and hosting accommodations.

Those creepy faces.

Also, nightstands in front of a door?

IMHO, flock really benefited from the pandemic crime leveling out. People have been returning to pre-pandemic habits, and the inflated crime has naturally gone down everywhere. But now flock can show a lot of 2022 to 2025 data to people, and they think the product makes them safe.

Flock could’ve hung furbies instead of cameras, and crime would still be down considerably.

Speaking from another big west coast city where people are debating these things - lot of the pro-flock folks are people in the more well-to-do areas that want to get tough on crime.

They don’t like that suburban burglaries and car break ins are a lower priority for police. Cops in big cities are usually prioritizing the nastier crimes, not low value smash and grabs that are damn near impossible to solve.

People in the nicer areas throw money into cameras and private security, then the camera and security companies give the residents a bunch of bad data that shows their product is working through correlation, not causation. Then the residents become proponents for solutions that often have pretty poor efficacy when you look at non-industry data.

These security companies have a playbook. I imagine there are hundreds of other cities in the exact same spot.

MAGAs are literally now asking to pay more for fair trade products.

VITALITY

Speaking from a part of the country where ICE came and backed out (for now), we were organizing neighborhood watches hours before the boots hit the ground.

Although ICE might be getting more efficient in every new city, the resistance is also getting more efficient. The people take the latest volunteer training materials from the last occupied city and then they trainthe new city. Moreover, the cities that know it’s coming have been hiring paid community organizers who can help onboard and organize when its go time.

It looks like Brett Ratner was working on it and couldn’t get it picked up. He was canceled for sexual assault and harassment allegations. Apparently he also wanked it in front of the catering staff.

You don’t want to eat more when you taking a glp1.

They’re one of the few drugs that seem to actually address overeating disorders that people have been unable to manage through other means.

Looks like it was tweaked to say “disputed” instead of “unlawful,” since I imagine the Trump admin will try to fight this.

lol. Those Wikipedia editors are fast.

Edit: now it’s a less spicy “disputed”

Not that I know of

This one IS pretty surprising though.

This is kind of like finding out that Ron Jeremy had a trad wife.

Yeah, the final text basically called out a ton of states and operated with the assumption that some GOP gerrymandering was going to happen since efforts were pretty firmly in motion. The button had been already pressed by other states.

TX is going to appeal to the Supreme Court. TX still stands a very good chance of getting their maps.

Also, you can’t really fuck with districts at the last minute. You need time for candidates and elections officials to organize around them.

Also, the GOP is trying this shit in other states.

CA needs to just assume the worst out what the GOP put in motion. This is too hard to counteract late in the game, which is why all this stuff if started going down a year and a half in advance.

Yup. Unless the SCOTUS comes up with some stupid way to prevent California from doing something red states have been doing for years, but without voter approval.

But California and Newsom were pretty clear about this being 1000% about balancing political party power.
