A total ban is the only sane policy for Airbnb. There obviously needs to be accommodation in cities for visitors, but that shouldn’t be at the expense of housing units for people who actually live there. More governments should follow Barcelona’s lead.

Harris has done a great job:
1. She is blindly hated by millions solely for being a black woman
2. She has not made the news. At all.
Sounds glib, but if she fucked anything up, it would be daily front page for months. Veeps get only thankless bullshit to do.

I found a hospital in Tanzania that will let me volunteer. Not sure about Whole Foods, but everyone sells vegetables at the roadside which is farm to table AF.

The Dems need to let progressives off the leash. Muzzling passionate attack dogs was a stupid decision.
My WI senator is Ron Johnson. Do you know anyone in the Kremlin who can help with waking him up?

Every action Biden takes will be appealed immediately to SCOTUS for slapdown. The gymnastics will be depressing, but inevitable.
This is why conservative centrists are a lousy counterbalance to fascists.

I've seen enough -- this is the most radical, dangerous, arrogant, out-of-control Supreme Court in American history, and it needs to be treated as such.

Cool thing about politics is you don't need to know anything to sound great at politics. Just confidence.

Who would have the absolute ass to demand someone they don't know, and never will, produce a baby? And judge them as selfish?
I know a physician who had no interest in having a baby. She works 70 hrs/wk, volunteers in the US, and annually in Guatemala. Selfish, I guess.

Her only option is to be invisible. Any victory will be played as a defeat by the media. Any complication a sign she was the affirmative action hire they knew she was.
Though I wished she was a smartass. "Hey, I'm not Cheney, haven't shot anyone in the face. Yet."

The Sorrow and the Pity was illuminating, especially to the French on release. A nation lied to itself for years after liberation that everyone was in the Resistance, instead of many people being sympathetic to fascism. Thanks for the book suggestion.

I feel great about not bothering to watch the debate, as they are all the same. The Gish Gallop wins, every time. CNN confirmed by refusing to fact check in real time, then fact checking later when they knew nobody would notice.
