1. I'm a good person
&
2. I'm against more housing in A²
So
3. There must be a reason more housing is bad
Because
4. good ppl aren't against good things
So
5. I'll invent a reason why more housing is bad
&
6. No matter how insanely false that reason is I will insist it's true
Because…
1.

It's fun to commit loads and loads of crimes until some of your crimes actually start getting adjudicated.

Looks like some Supreme Court justices might need to avoid standing near windows and large bodies of water.

Seems bad.
Maybe we should try to stop this.

Or even *a* dick

It will never stop being deeply strange to me that the very idea of allowing more multifamily housing in one of the largest cities in the state of Michigan has the power to make some people look *this distraught* #a2council

WTAF is wrong w/ them that they are this upset about having more neighbors?

I'm becoming concerned that Ryan Stanton might be dick.

Unnecessarily making routine matters of city governance more difficult since… forever?

Indeed, #a2council
It makes me think our local DSA candidates are either ill-informed anti-density dupes or unprincipled populist ideologues.

If you encounter a DSA candidate who is against eliminating exclusionary single family zoning, ask them how that position qualifies as either D or S.

Yikes!
I refuse to pay more than $175 for a new mobile, and work hard to only buy a new one every five years or so - always unlocked so there's no contract.

There's an amazing thing you can do if you're unsure what someone intended by what they said: You can ask clarifying questions!

Kanopy is such a treasure!
We had been waiting for the recent Riefenstahl doc to stop costing extra on 🍎TV, then a couple weeks ago it showed up on Kanopy - along with several other contextualizing works that are referenced in the documentary.
It's like they do real curation of their collection!

Also furries.

But I ain't worried about them🙂

My "I don't need to be plugged into a wall socket in order to remain sentient" shirt is raising a lot of questions about AI that are already answered by the shirt.

I hope it's too late for Ring.

But on the other hand, people sure do love home surveillance tech & for some reason also refuse to develop durational memory capacity greater than that of goldfish.

She might as well be a ventriloquist dummy with Trump's hand up her backside.

...or a podcast?

I'm confused.
Does she think the hearing is a press conference?

It seems to me that you are either incompetent or complicit.

Abolishing ICE should be the one & only demand regarding ICE.

Q for #a2council mayoral candidate Yousef Rabhi:

If elected would you fast track implementation of an unarmed crisis response program in Ann Arbor, which program was approved nearly 5 years ago in April of 2021?

[based on the aforementioned time frame, I already know the incumbent mayor's answer]

Ummm...

In the fall of 1982 I started high school.

I chose Spanish for my language study class because I knew it was the 2nd language of the US.

I feel like I was smarter then at the age of 14 than every adult Republican today.

Is the Republicans' next attempt to distract us from the Epstein files going to be exposing the horrors of factory farming?

Will they eventually start railing against the evils of capitalism itself... as a distraction from the Epstein files?

How federal impeachment works Impeachment is the process of bringing charges against a government official for wrongdoing. A trial may be held, and the official may be removed from office. The impeachment process The Constitution gives Congress the power to impeach federal officials. An official can be impeached for treason, bribery, and "other high crimes and misdemeanors." 1 The House of Representatives brings articles (charges) of impeachment against an official. Learn more about the House's role in impeachment. 2 If the House adopts the articles by a simple majority vote, the official has been impeached. 3 The Senate holds an impeachment trial. In the case of a president, the U.S. Supreme Court chief justice presides. Learn more about the Senate's role in the impeachment process. 4 If found guilty, the official is removed from office. They may never be able to hold elected office again. 5 If they are not found guilty, they may continue to serve in office.

Just putting this here in case any Congress members might happen to see it.

I kept wondering why Dems aren't starting new impeachment proceedings on the daily.
"Maybe it's a difficult or complicated process," is what I kept wondering.
So I decided to look it up.
Well guess what?
It's neither difficult nor complicated.
Could the explanation be that Dems suck at their jobs?
