Monstrous right wing imbecile is right wing monster, imbecile. Full story at 11.

Every time I see that phrase it makes my eye twitch. ALL pricing is artificial. Always. No exceptions.

I'm in California, where it is legally required for them to provide an online cancellation if that's how you signed up.

They have a cancellation link, but if you click it, it takes you to a fake error page.

Oh, did GM just step in it this time. Being stupid and removing important features is one thing, but straight-up defamation like this is another.

Google and Apple’s lawyers must be salivating a river right now.

Debian is my go-to. So long as you’re already comfortable with Linux, you can get gaming working with a tiny bit of elbow grease… and unlike some other distros, Debian is rock-solid.

Taco Bell is about as Mexican as Mac & Cheese. When I talk about Mexican food, I am talking about Mexican food.

Maybe it’s that I don’t watch much comedy, but I’ve literally never seen anything dump on Indian. There is nothing more delicious than Indian. Nothing. Not even Mexican food. I do not say that lightly.

Likud - like any right wing movement - has a vested interest in ensuring that terror continues. Fear is the only way they can possibly stay in power.

The Avocado Tartine (+ Poached Egg) from Tartine Bakery here in California.

I'm a carnivore, through-and-through... but that $20 piece of avocado toast is orgasmic.

Second place: Tacos de Pastor de Trompo from this little stand in Ensenada (Baja, Mexico). I'm not sure if it's even still there, but those tacos were ecstasy.

Commerce and wealth-based taxes (income, sales, capital gains, etc) are sufficient to cover any and all social needs. Taxing people on their own possessions - especially those critical to living - is beyond unethical, it is evil.

A property tax on a primary dwelling residence is unethical because it is not attached to any act of commerce. It is your home. It is your family's life and legacy. Property taxes do not care whether the owners are billionaires or do not have a penny to their name, so they harm the middle class and the poor while it's little more than an afterthought for the wealthy. Case in point: Hawaiians who are forced to sell their ancestral homes because they cannot afford property tax... because the "value" of their ancestral land is constantly and steadily increased by wealthy interlopers. This is just plain, old-fashioned banditry and theft - nothing more and nothing less... and if you advocate for it or justify it, you advocate for evil.

Property taxes of most primary dwellings should not be a thing.
