People sure do say “fuck” a lot these days
It’s kind of wild, homeowners with “Fuck Joe Biden” flags on flagpoles
I mostly think it’s tacky (the flags and other public written expressions, at least) but then I think a lot of things people do are tacky
There must be a whole bunch of HOA disputes about “Fuck Joe Biden” flags, right?
Here's a letter to the editor in the local paper for The Villages, complaining that flying a Trump flag and an American flag on the same pole is a violation of the Flag Code: villages-news.com/2020/01/20/a-p…

I hope they're moving this so it doesn't step on the president's message that every adult should get a booster. But they should send Biden back in front of cameras to say that a few more times.
This is the sort of thing where the president needs to lead. Get the pharmacy CEOs on the phone, ask them to put big-ass signs in every store that say anyone over 18 can get a free booster. The audience for the signs is *staff* as much as customers.
It's really hard to get people to pay attention to things. You have to say it over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over

This isn’t news out of Israel. It’s an Israeli professor describing the same thin anecdotes from South Africa we’ve heard already.
There is only one confirmed Omicron case in Israel so there’s obviously no data to be had about how Omicron patients are doing in Israel.
The SA government dashboard also shows a marked rise in hospitalizations in Gauteng (from a low base). The national numbers are more muted because hospitalizations are reported as falling elsewhere. But it also warns latest week data may be incomplete. nicd.ac.za/diseases-a-z-i…

This is really appalling advice. It's highly likely Mr. Sinkovits meets CDC guidelines for a booster (3/4 of adults meet the BMI guideline alone) and many other middle-aged readers who have good reason to call themselves healthy do, too. nytimes.com/2021/11/17/opi…
Really anyone who was vaccinated more than six months ago should get a booster, as several states have fortunately started to recommend, and it's insane that the federal government is making the advice any more complicated than that.
Look how complicated the CDC instructions are on who should get a booster. It's as bad as the IRS! cdc.gov/coronavirus/20…

Inflation over the last year has been 6.2% (including 3.5% for shelter), not 22%. Jesus @TianaTheFirst, this is as bad as the @sarahjeong nonsense.
Housing costs and housing prices are obviously closely related matters (and I expect shelter to push upward more on inflation in the next couple years) but the Case-Shiller index is not directly an index of the cost of being housed.
Also, “transportation fuel” is not the same thing as transportation, and the whole cost of transportation is not up as quickly as the price of gasoline. This piece is a huge mess.

Yes. And it's true!
Telling parents to mind their own business at a time when schools were not delivering what they are ordinarily expected to was a mistake, and broadly casting the people who are objecting to K-12 practices as "white supremacists" is definitely going to be a mistake.
It is just the opposite of showing to voters that you take their concerns in good faith.

San Francisco clearly has some problems with public disorder that it should address, but if you're going to claim anyone has "ruined" the city, you need to explain why people remain willing to pay so much to live and do business there.
On another note, I find that a lot of people in San Francisco are very annoying, but that longstanding fact doesn't seem to have depressed rents, either.
No two groups of people in the history of the world have deserved each other as much as SF's tech bros and its hippies.
