EMERALD, SUNFLOWER, or SUNRISE?

It's almost like the Sierras should be the border between California and Nevada instead of the straight lines at obtuse angles running through Lake Tahoe.

Nope, and the post further up in the chain said, that's the problem. Making them thinly-veiled caricatures of specific people takes a lot of the original humor away from when they archetypes.

They're not to me either.

If West Coast metropolitan areas do not replace their old housing stock and commercial buildings, the Big Ones will do it for us.

"You don't really believe that Jesus is LITERALLY every hungry person I mean that wouldn't..."

I believe that failing to feed hungry people has the exact same moral, ethical and soul-shaping consequences as literally doing it to my lord and savior yeah. It's not a happy thought!

NRSC apparently has no one on the comms staff that has read Matthew 25:31–46

You can pop into the Discord and know the answer ;)

Reminds me of the joke that autistic people were first diagnosed by their school bullies.

Yes, it is Reddit-like, especially for zoomers. The downside is that none of it searchable through browsers, so a lot of knowledge gets hidden without knowing first where to go.

I enjoy the housing and transit communities here both because of the format and because the level of detail seems to be deeper than IG/TT/YT. But it’s pretty obvious at this point that the overall center of gravity of internet enthusiasts has shifted to them (and maybe Discord? IDK).

@elgransenglar.bsky.social, this is your jam.

Either this or if constitutional reform is an option, have the VP become more like a semi-presidential PM where they get to be nominated by the president after the election and appoint their own cabinet.

Yes, I got an SFPL card and still have it despite never living in SF itself.

(But also, well written.)

Maybe it’s because I was raised by libs in SF and most my friends parents were libs/ leftists, but there’s something irksome about people raised by conservatives, who became leftist after moving out, achieved a zealous passion for their new beliefs and then end up doing evangelical flavored leftism.
