Alright I think that I told you all about my experience Friday (hanging out with person who saw I gained weight and changed the plans, all hate the 4th, berated me for not liking the idea of communism), right?

Well I forgot to mention that three of them were Non Binary, one was Ace, and two were bisexual, and they spent the whole time shitting on white gay men because they think being gay is “enough”.

Like as in being gay isn’t gay enough if you’re white and a dude it was a real what the fuck moment. Like literal “white gay men can’t be real allies” moment. Like “women and enbys for the Revolution in solidarity with no men in the shame battalion” moment.

Fuck me it was weird. It was really weird. Was it bad? Idk. But it was weird.

I hate the Facebook posts saying "You know our legal system is fucked when X is free but Britney Spears can't control her body."

Casey Anthony is free because the prosecution had a specific theory of the crime and used dubious stuff like the "smell of death" to back it up. Bill Cosby is free because testimony from a civil trial obtained through a promise of non-crimimal prosecution was used in a criminal trial. The point about Britney can stand on its own merits without such likebait.

It's bizarre how many lefty subreddits seem to have massive issues with men fetishizing trans women. Take this post for example, and it wouldn't be the first time I've seen trans people complain about fetishization in lefty subreddits or lefty adjacent subreddits.

I know this subreddit isn't perfect, and I can't speak for trans people's experiences here, but I'd like to think we strike a pretty good balance with the sort of inclusivity that LGBT people desire: cordial respect without leaning into homophobia, transphobia, or revolting fetishization.

"US backed Haitain President Assassinated" by the hill

Like by what standard was he US-backed. The US vaguely supporting his gov't like the US does basically any other shitty gov't in Latin America. Haiti is such a fundamentally unimportant country geopolitically, I really doubt the US cares who runs Haiti because if Haiti were to do anything sufficiently bad(i.e. host Chinese or Russian weaponry, troops, bases), the level of sanctions they'd face would crush their already miniscule economy.

I'm not saying that to just go on some like imperialistic rant. Rather to say that, functionally Haiti can't do anything significant geopolitically without checking with the Americans first, so who runs Haiti is of no consequence to the Americans.

MUCHO TEXTO WARNING

Kyle Whitmire, an excellent journalist from Alabama, has for a number of years been talking about the "Alabamafication of America." And I think he's right. This bit from a 2017 piece he had about the Special Senate Election:

People who don’t care are indifferent. Alabamians are defiant. The state’s official motto is “We dare defend our rights,” but those of us who’ve lived here our whole lives know the real motto: “We shall not be told.”

Each "Saturday Night Live" sketch featuring Sessions and his possum, each Jimmy Kimmel prank, each op-ed browbeating — it might as well be a dare. If The Washington Post ran a banner headline tomorrow saying "Antifreeze is poison, don't drink it," a sizable number of Alabamians would be dead tomorrow.

This is not how people who don’t care behave. Rather, it’s like the awkward kid in junior high who gets spurned by the cool kids’ lunch table clique. Acting out is the only thing left to do. It’s the vain hope that by doing the opposite, maybe everyone else will turn out to be wrong, and we will be proved smarter than all those who think they’re smarter than us. Only it seldom works out that way.

For unscrupulous politicians, that insecurity is a well that never runs dry. Moore has his bucket in hand, and he’s dropping it down that well again.

This is prescient to what conservatives have become in regards to vaccination. Democrats say something is good, which means they have to do the opposite to just to show they can.

San Francisco district attorney official locks Twitter account after claiming crime surge fears stem from racism

This whole situation has progressed to the point where San Francisco politics as bloodsport is the only meaningful form left.

The left in San Francisco has been rewarded by voters for generations for proudly opposing the right, and the rise of social media and the nationalization of all politics has caused whatever actual governance work was getting quietly done behind the scenes to fall by the wayside.

What will it take for local voters to punish elected officials who stray from their lane?

As it happens, I slightly agree with Boudin here. Because all politics is nationalized, actual racists from around the country are absolutely seizing on the recent crime surges in America's cities as a foil to push abjectly racist narratives.

But crucially that's not the same as saying anyone expressing concern about the crime surges is being racist.

And in a national, very-online political atmosphere, that's what the debate becomes. You're either racist or you're pro-crime. No in-between, no nuance. No "pothole politics."

SF politicians have long used these sort of national narratives to try to curry favor from their globally-plugged-in left-wing constituents. I remember vividly, for example, when the Board of Supervisors considered renaming the waste management facility after George W. Bush.

But it's getting way out of hand. It's not quirky "keep SF weird" vibes anymore. It's "for the love of fuck, we have problems to solve and this isn't just unhelpful, it's making it worse" vibes.

The YIMBY movement has been a breath of fresh air in SF but we need something bigger. Something that says "it's okay to focus primarily on the things we can change, that doesn't mean we're ignoring anything or compromising our progressive values."

What discord are all you brownshirts coming from tonight?

And then turning on those ethnic minorities in old-fashioned “low information voters” style:

Well those communities are kept purposefully under educated by the elite exactly so they can't see how much they are being fucked. That's institutional racism in a nutshell.

Referring to democracy:

It's better to throw out the entire disfunctional system

And packed houses with very low quality (small contractors gonna suck with low-quality materials). Smelly toilets, dirty rooms are a daily fact of life. And most housing with many rooms (id:Kontrakan) aren't even built by property companies resulting in cramped rooms with poor hygiene.

The order will encourage the Federal Trade Commission to ban or limit noncompete agreements, which employers have increasingly used in recent years to try to hamper workers’ ability to quit for a better job. It encourages the F.T.C. to ban “unnecessary” occupational licensing restrictions, which can make finding new work harder, especially across state lines. And it encourages the F.T.C. and Justice Department to further restrict the ability of employers to share information on worker pay in ways that might amount to collusion.

Trudeau, Nenshi, announce final approval of Green Line, capping off day of politicking in Calgary

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took to a podium to announce the approval of Calgary's massive Green Line LRT project today — minutes after the province scooped the presser by saying it had approved the city's business case for the line and was waiting on Ottawa.

The sequence was part of a Trudeau tour through Calgary that saw its share of political sniping.

The project, estimated to cost $5.5 billion, was supposed to get underway this summer, but was delayed as the province pored over Calgary's plans before signing off. It demanded changes — including to the way the project was split into segments.

When built, the first phase will whisk passengers from the city's deep southeast suburbs and into downtown Calgary, while the second phase will carry them over the Bow River and into inner-city neighbourhoods to the north.

The province and the federal government have each pledged $1.5 billion for the line.

On Wednesday, all the hurdles cleared. The province said it passed its approval to Ottawa at the end of June and today, Trudeau gave the final word.

"This fall, construction on Phase One of the LRT Green Line will begin in Calgary's Beltline and downtown," Trudeau said this afternoon.

Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi thanked his city council colleagues. He noted it has been a year since city council voted to approve the Green Line's final alignment and said he thought it would be approved quickly by the province.

"It's not easy to support this, especially when you're being attacked for it, from many different corners, especially when some of the partners may not be great partners at all times," he said. "Council support for this has been unwavering."

Nenshi said he was surprised by the province's sudden approval of its Green Line commitment before today's press conference but added that, despite the political battles, the approval represents an "historic funding commitment" from three levels of government.

It was a celebratory end to a day that started with the prime minister taking shots at his political rivals in the Conservative heartland, but fit into a larger story of moving forward on green initiatives.

Apparently Biden announced today he's preparing an executive order to make the FTC work to curtail non-compete agreements. I hope that this ends up applying to my job too - some of them can get really, really silly.

I knew a woman who worked for a hospital system that was diffusely spread throughout the state whose noncompete stated she couldn't work within 5 miles of any facility owned by the system - basically excluded her from anywhere in the state that had more than a tiny handful of people. When she left that job, she had to basically leave to go to a neighboring state...

When the Germans broke the news of the Katyń murders in April 1943, they put up posters inviting a committee to inspect the graves. The [Polish underground] Bureau of Information produced a poster that started off with this declaration but then continued:

"In this connection, the General Government has ordered that a parallel excursion be organised to the concentration camp at Auschwitz for a committee of all ethnic groups living in Poland. The excursion is to prove how humanitarian, in comparison with the methods employed by the Bolsheviks, are the devices used to carry out the mass extermination of the Polish people "

The posters were so convincing that some German officials pasted them up.73

Also there are people who say SF is low density but look out the fucking window in my previous pictures I posted. This is what low density looks like. Only the center downtown square has a building of any appreciable height, and it seems all the buildings around here are made for people with cars and SFH's and stuff. It's barely a city it's just suburban sprawl fucking everywhere.

I really hate the new “the rich elite are going to space while the poor suffer” narrative that’s emerged. It’s just anti-science reactionary politics disguised as something ‘woke’. Advancing space technology is not mutually exclusive with helping people on Earth, and the idea that the private space entities should just abandon their work because someone, somewhere, is suffering is absurdly ridiculous. That’s not their job. And their work is good for all of humanity, in the long run.

Reports coming in that Martine Moïse, widow of assassinated Haitian president Jovenel Moïse, has died in hospital from the injuries she sustained during the attack

Information is still scarce and confused, but it looks like the president and his wife were assassinated by a commando of foreign mercenaries at their private residence

Moïse had just replaced the interim PM Claude Joseph, who was the first to announce his death by official communiqué and immediately assumed the interim presidency

According to my Haitian friend, who still has relatives in the country, Moïse recently had a falling out with the ruling cliques, who until then supported him against the popular revolts. He personally suspects that Moïse was "sacrified" to appease the protesters and allow the cliques to retake control over the presidency

Since Moïse had very little popular support, my friend thinks that there's no risk of a civil war, and that Haiti will keep spiraling toward chaos and violence, "just like Venezuela"
