Biggest pension scam I've seen: a guy worked in govt for 42 years and retired with a job that paid about 90k. For all those years, he gets a 80%-90% pension. But his last year he cashed in 100s of thousands of $$ of "unused leave", making THAT his salary to base the pension on

“You f**king Jew, f**k you.” Watch as two Jewish women are harassed and verbally abused in Vancouver, Canada. Antisemitic incidents are up 350% in Vancouver compared to this time last year. Enough is enough. Please share and help us identify the anti-Semite responsible.

The era of dueling was more violent. Napoleon banned it because it was killing too many of his officers, and, finally, dueling does not result in a more polite culture— it results in people becoming more and more sensitive to slights and perceived disrespect they must challenge

The downfall of dueling, though very reasonable at the time, paved the way for many of our issues today We must allow mutual agreement to combat — contrary to popular belief, this is the civilized way to settle conflicts!

A Catholic college without a philosophy department should just give up and admit it’s over for them.

In the vast majority of SF, you are not allowed to open a store that has a combination of two functions.

Why is it illegal? Currently District 3 does not allow for "Flexible Retail," which is the combination of 2 uses. In this case, a general retail (bookstore) and limited restaurant (coffeeshop). District 3 was intentionally carved out of a new Flexible Retail law passed in 2018.

@MargBarAmerica If I were a retailer, I would want to maximize sales by making it as easy as possible to buy goods, rather than locking them in a cabinet to make it harder And I would test whether the locked cabinet solution or open shelf solution makes more money and use the better one

I feel like the left has lost the plot in homelessness. People are *not* supposed to be homeless and living on the streets. If there are homeless, that has to be solved! Why isn’t the left solving it?

SF "moderates" screaming about homeless people sound exactly like rightwing MAGA Republicans screaming about immigrants. It's really the same language, the same false scapegoating, the same us vs. them. Exactly the same. #SanFrancisco

The thing about civil disobedience is that you subject yourself to the consequences of the law for being disobedient. The proper response to 20 people being arrested is to find 20 more people to reoccupy the office, and so on until the university and public can’t do it anymore

To terminate the protest, Vanderbilt arrested 4 students, including me, and forcibly removed 20+ others with police intervention. We were evicted from campus until Vanderbilt had decided our fate for the ultimate crime of caring as 33,000 people have been murdered.

By all accounts Hamas pulled off a stunning tactical operation and defeated multiple IDF companies and just… stopped all that to kill, rape, and kidnap a bunch of musical festival goers and then go door to door attacked civilians in their homes.

Hamas basically blew a unique operational advantage to hunt hoes in the desert, and this was done by the elite units! It's impossible to support a cause whose beneficiaries are that maliciously stupid.

I don’t think she should be imprisoned for decades on 8 felonies. But we have laws against making public threats bc those guardrails are important and without them people will feel free to escalate their threats until someone follows through. All threats should be tested as real

Women having fun seems to get people angry. The idea is that they should be married with kids. But earlier on Twitter there was a “trad woman” complaining about mothers going to cafes and meeting friends with their kids People just don’t like seeing women outside and happy
