Like, I'm not even that anti home ownership but the amount of energy previous councils put into creating paths to ownership (defined as SFHs only) is something you see in a toney suburb, not the densest/greatest city in America.

Counterpoint: homeowners should not be a protected class in a majority-renter city with a crippling housing crisis.

Just weakness through and through, the type of statement that screams "please don't pants me as I walk down the hall."

"also, Iranian people who I just called nasty please rise up against your overlords I am your friend."

These people could talk for hours detailing the most minute macroeconomic headwinds and they're trying to deflect from the fact they're the man in the hot dog suit.

They are so high on their own supply it's rendered their political instincts inert.

We're calling terrorists "influencers" now, I see.

Lamar's post makes sense now.

I would prefer it if our necessary stove touching did not involve sending troops on a suicide mission thank you.

The Trump regime's divorce from a facts-based reality is complete.

@today-maybe.bsky.social now a matter of existential concern.

Hot take: You don't get to do "oh muh optics" over the casualties of your war for funsies.

Nice to see we're fully cooked here over something so pointless.

Honestly hard to fathom how we're sending our kids to die for a war that is both entirely unnecessary as well as horribly mismanaged.

So are they going to start pulling some financial strings or nah...?

Call me dumb but I don't think an officer corps trained on Prager U is gonna be great for our readiness.

The funniest possible outcome would be the Ellison's bankrupting themselves and Oracle trying their damnedest to be Trump's most favored special oligarchs.

So not happy by this outcome. Netflix wasn't great, but at least they were a complementary business that seemed intent on continuity. The Ellisons are purely buying this for monopolistic propaganda purposes.
