“epstein class is iranian propaganda” is definitely something i’d expect the epstein class to say

But also if the state actually puts the money into transit, I don't care if it goes up an additional fifty cents. Like let's just make transit actually work well in this state. There are too many areas in which it's either impossible or extremely difficult to commute that way, and I'd like to get

transit gets to the point where it's actually functional for people who don't work in a place where transit currently touches.

I'm not advocating for eliminating the tax. Not nearly. I'm just saying, I wouldn't hate seeing the money for transit come from our wildly inflated policing budgets, drop a small amount of the tax (even 10 cents or something), even if just as a very temporary for low income residents, until

See, if they committed to using that 50 cents a gallon to expanding transit, absolutely. Considering transit keeps getting cut, I'm not super inclined to want to pay more, especially with as much as I need to drive.

I hate how true this is, and how many times I think about this post every time I read the news.

tariffs happening for no reason and theyre making your life worse, secret police kidnapping people for no reason and making your life worse, firing thousands of government employees for no reason and making your life worse, going to war with iran for no reason and making your life worse

Like I'd give my soul for Shoreline East to actually have a good amount of times it runs.

I'm mixed on this. Like because the transit sucks, I need to drive to work, and the extra 50 cents per gallon is fucking bonkers. I think probably cut the tax just enough to drop the price a bit AND put as much into transit as we can do people can stop having to drive would be nice.

Difficult to emphasize just how much a generation of kids has been taught that being dishonest, superficial, and narcissistic is the pathway to attention and therefore success

God I felt this in my soul but recently stepped out on the ledge and jumped. Made the shit happen. Lost almost everything else, but worth it.

Hi! The Onion and Bluesky are throwing a party at South By Southwest in Austin on Saturday. It's free and spots are limited, so sign up nowish.

We did this last year and only a handful of people died, so we're hoping to keep those numbers down once again!

I've submitted multiple. Never once been published. They often don't even publish my comments on anti trans nyt articles. It's that repressive.

Does any cis woman really think attacks on trans rights *benefit* her?

My guess is it's motivated by straightforward bias plus self-hatred and sublimated rage around being a woman and gender conformity... They have this idea that being a woman is supposed to be hard / no one is supposed to enjoy it
