    California Gov. Gavin Newsom may have pushed for Panera Bread to get an exemption to the state’s new $20 minimum wage law because of a long-standing relationship (and donorship) with fast-food restaurateur Greg Flynn, according to Bloomberg.

    Is there any evidence of this other than the existence of the law, which also impacts hundreds of other businesses? 

    Is there even any evidence that he pushed for this carve-out at all?

    Truly this. What a fucking joke. No way we get to another planet. I wouldn’t be surprised if we are about 7 generations from some real life saving needing to be done or…yeah, good run. 

    7?

    Far more optimistic than me.

    On3 had us getting around 15 3 stars….i just don’t see us battling Toledo in the rankings 

    We probably will get 15 3-stars on On3 after they drop them once they commit. Remember, you can only get an accurate assessment of our 2025 class if you take into account the development of blue chips under Charlie Strong in 2015.

    google legitimately just pushed out an update that wouldn't put white people in historically accurate places. What the fuck else do you need? Do I think it was nefarious and some mechanism to wipe out white people. No, I'm not a moron. I do think it's a manifestation of being run by a bunch of fucking morons who care more about metrics and feel good DEI than they do about reality. 

    well that's one way to answer a perfectly normal question.

    Sorry, it just seemed right. I will absolutely never wander over here again. Bunch of shrieking bullies in here. 

    But you just did it last week? Remember? You baselessly speculated that the trans youth in OK was attacked for yelling racial slurs. Then, when called on it, you disappeared. 

    Remember?

    I saw a humorous line in the story about this where the people who said they will be uncommitted to Biden in November aren't as worried about Trump's authoritarian style because "they can find ways to undermine that". Okay, sure. Let's see how your protesting works when he invokes the Insurrection Act. Remember how things worked when BLM was protesting outside the White House in 2020? Yeah and he will have no one standing in the way of clearing you all out with force. No Joint Chiefs or Secretary of Defense telling him "sir, you can't attack American citizens who are protesting". It will all be yes men or worse, people who want to harm you because you're Muslim. You may not fear Trump's authoritarian style but you damn sure better fear what Stephen Miller has planned for you. I'm not sure exactly what fantasy land these Michigan people are living in. 

    how did they find ways to undermine Trump's ban on Muslims entering the country the first time? Snuck through the border?

  7. "Maybe the victim was hurling out racial slurs and was attacked for that?"

    I'll always have a soft spot for Stewart, but he's fundamentally still the same guy who did the rally to restore sanity. There's still something he just very fundamentally doesn't grasp about the modern right and his "most of us are sane people with generally the same values and we should be able to find common ground" schtick is just absolutely not adequate for the current times. 

    I dunno man. He compared Trump and Maga to a "barbarians at the gate moment" for the country, in the same monologue in which he picked on Biden about his age. I interpreted the frustration over Biden's age and associated gaffes as being more about needing someone better equipped to meet that moment. I know the type you describe, and I'm not sure Stewart fits that mold, at least based on the 20 mins I watched. Though, tbf, I haven't been keeping abreast of him for at least a decade so maybe he's more like Maher than I'm aware.

    Wow, crazy scene.  Much respect to the LEO and NG units that rushed in there without a moment's hesitation.  I wouldn't go in there single file or 2x2 like that through a narrowed bottleneck into a dark spaced fixed position, but they didn't fucking flinch and did their duty.  Hope everybody's okay.  

    oh, I just assumed the shooting was taking place outside and they're all running inside to get away from it.

    Because Rs know their voters prioritize the border over Ukraine and Israel?

    Boy, can't wait to see the blowback from their voters after they killed the border deal.
