I think that legal sports betting has had bad outcomes for those who bet, but people in liberal societies are entitled to make choices that are bad for them

As the son of an undocumented immigrant (my mom overstayed an au pair visa for years before marrying my dad, a U.S. citizen), it’s deeply personal: Reddit wouldn’t exist if ICE had come for her. I do think border security matters. But it shouldn’t come at the cost of crushing

This month's Bay Area New Liberal happy hour is Thursday at the Embarcadero Center! Hopefully we'll be able to drink to the Governor signing SB79. secure.everyaction.com/ABeWu3TW7UacMx…

Tonight! Come drink liberally with us; the first drink is on the house!

Do people really want AI chatbots that refuse to answer any question without a page of legalese disclaimers? Because that's what we're gonna get with the regime implied here. Don't nerf my AI, bro!

“what if this service that is already bad had less money?”

More artists should do this

HUGE W TODAY! After 8 years of trying, we've finally passed a TOD upzoning bill in CA. This cements 2025 as easily the most productive legislative session on housing since the beginning of the YIMBY movement, a show of how far we've come. It's time to build!

From his terribly designed and ineffective Prop C to apparently now supporting a National Guard invasion of the City, does SF have a bigger sack of shit than Marc Benioff? Please go back to Hawaii and stay there.

Does anyone know who hired and credentialed some of these crazy conspiratorialists?

All 3 Nobel winners are foreign-born scholars who came to the US for their PhDs, & all 3 spent at least a good chunk of their careers in the US. This doesn't just benefit the US for "scoreboard" reasons. It's how a country innovates. Appropriate given the prize's subject matter!

I am once again begrudgingly thanking Governor Gavin Newsom.

We free traders really are lacking our own holiday.

State preemption on transfer taxes and IZ, inject this straight into my veins

Apparently CA Dems almost banned nonstick cookware and I hadn't heard about it until now? We have *got* to get over our addiction to banning shit. Everyone hates it; the juice is not worth the squeeze. Thanks (again) to Governor Gavin Newsom for vetoing. nytimes.com/2025/10/14/cli…

It’s funny how the edgy response to this is always to assume that Republicans professing shame and embarrassment are trying to virtue signal and do respectability politics They actually just genuinely find you repugnant sorry

It’s very easy to condemn both the young republicans and Jay Jones for saying abhorrent things.
