  1. LOL at him thinking Jack Dorsey gives a shit about his feelings.
  2. Yes, absolutely agree. Love having my president chosen this groupthink.
  3. Yes, this is is right, but it’s complicated. SF and LA are nice places to be homeless because the weather is great. People hear that treatment centers are plentiful, which also makes it a destination for people with addictions. And finally, a la South Park, they do get bussed in from other cities. The lack of criminal prosecution certainly has an impact of the open air drug use here; I feel like every time a reporter asks a junkie why they aren’t shooting up in Oakland or San Mateo county, they respond, “Because I’d get arrested!”. But it’s certainly not clear that criminal prosecution would help the situation. If you’re curious about the situation, Google “Chesa Boudin”. Oregon, on the other hand, is very different.
  4. It is. 15 years ago they were all about freedom fries and Reaganomics. Now the Iraq invasion and free markets are a farce. But socialism is still evil.
  5. There’s no way you weren’t a “freedom fries” guy 17 years ago.
  6. I just took a spin and they’ve also embraced draft dodging (my favorite sentiment is how they are glad he dodged Vietnam so he could live to save the nation).
  7. Yes, they will be remembered as some of the most effective people to hold their respective leadership positions - particularly Pelosi in her control of the Caucus during the House ACA vote
  8. Yes, Pontchartain is a good choice. The Hot Tin is opened as a Jack Rose pop up right now (the restaurant downstairs). The Chloe, a hotel from the Leblanc + Smith group (Sylvain, Barrel Proof, Meauxbar RIP), opens this week.
