The DNC, Uber Leaves Cali, Laura Loomer & Another Puppy Pic
Hope you’re having a good week and not paying too much attention to the cringe-show that is the Democratic National Convention.
Hey everyone!
Hope you’re having a good week and not paying too much attention to the cringe-show that is the Democratic National Convention.
In actually interesting news, here’s an update on the doggo. I’ve had Reggie Brown with me for more than a week and a half now, and I don’t regret the decision to adopt him at all. It’s been wonderful having a little companion who follows me around all day and taking care of him. He has some pretty serious attachment issues, though, and gets very upset when I leave for even an hour or two. So, that’s something we’re working on.
But Reggie is getting more comfortable every day and more settled in. Don’t worry, you’ll be getting plenty more pictures!
Anyway, if you only read one thing I wrote this week, make it my breakdown of how big government regulations failed in California to the literal point where Uber and Lyft are abandoning the state. We should all be able to agree that even well-intentioned regulatory adventures like this are doomed for failure when done in such a reckless and sweeping manner.
Meme: Me, pretty much.
Food Take: Green grapes are better than purple grapes. Both are good, but green is better—by a lot.
