- Comment on Californians will vote on a $18 minimum wage. Workers already want $25 and more 2 months ago:
My biggest fear with this proposal is that lower wage positions just get offloaded or somehow classified as “independent contractors” or consulting or some other bullshit. Or they create some shell company to all these positions. Or some other chicanery.
Don’t get me wrong, I agree in principle. But God damn if actually enacting and enforcing wouldn’t be some legal whack a mole with these slippery bastards
- Comment on Trump Q&A at NABJ convention in Chicago (FULL STREAM) 2 months ago:
That was an absolute master class in interviewing. She asks him direct, pointed questions. He was so horrendously unprepared for the most basic of questions and flails about helplessly. That first question was so perfectly executed. It was also such an obvious jumping off point that anyone walking on that stage should have expected it and been ready to answer. The fact the be just flails about says so much

Everything you said is true, fair and I do agree. But I feel compelled to add that many of the issues built into the current structure of governance are a direct result of racism, white supremacy and slavery.
The reason the system is so incredibly resistant to change is that the anti-democratic parts of the Constitution are there because of slavery. Giving disproportionate power to the slave holding class then leads directly to a Senate that is almost always going to be 50%+ Republican today despite that party not winning a national majority in 30+ years.
I understand and appreciate that the system has safeguards against rapid and radical changes where 50%+1 can otherwise dominate the other half of the country. But we must acknowledge that the current framework is a poor facsimile of that and the reason is the original sin of this country.
Lastly, this is a bit of an aside, but this clip of Reggie Jackson (Hall of Fame baseball player) is really worth watching and remembering that what he experienced happened not that long ago and is indictive of the type of America that so many people on the right want to return to. youtu.be/R4mWOVy_02s?si=9irk_TD_JKWInMkt

- Comment on Xbox Console Sales Are Tanking 5 months ago:
Admittedly I don’t play on Xbox, but yeah their console naming is baffling to me and I honestly don’t know/can’t be bothered to figure it out. PlayStation is simple. Bigger numbers equal newer. Pro version? Just a modest step up but still clearly identifies as the same Gen.
When Xbox launched the One, I thought, “oh they’re going to reset the numbering convention. It’s awkward now but will be easier going forward.” Boy was I wrong.
On the other end there’s Nintendo, but the names are so different and distinct it’s easy enough to distinguish (except whatever the hell Wii U was).
Microsoft seems caught in the middle. They clearly didn’t want to be like PlayStation, but they don’t want to/can’t come up with unique names, so you get just a mouthful of nonsense letters and numbers.
