Some Davis NIMBYs tried to get this house in central Davis designated "historic" to block construction of a 5-story mixed use housing project. Fortunately the move was defeated, a victory for common sense and aesthetic judgment.

An ordinary one-level single-family home that is in no way architecturally interesting or culturally significant.

My theory is that she believes she’ll sell more copies of her book if people think it contains lots of juicy anecdotes about conflicts between her and Trump, and these abortion comments serve as a teaser.

"I won't vote unless my very specific, personal requirements for your platform are met, period" is baby-brain engagement for lazy assholes. You don't bend the will of the machine when you withhold your vote, you give them permission to ignore everything you say from that point forward.

Lots of good criticisms of this poll, but unfortunately this isn’t the first report we’re getting of GenZ moving to the right—young men especially. We can and should dispute the poll’s methodology, but we can’t refuse to see what seems to be a trend. I don’t want to feel the way I did on Nov 8 2016.
