Biden signs 50 bills, including 1 backed by Paris Hilton, on Christmas Eve

San Francisco will rename a post office in honor of the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein

And here I thought I would never have to hear her name again. Fucking clueless neoliberal Democrats. It's not enough she got rich fucking us over, now we're expected to honor the memory of it. Wasn't there a sewage treatment plant in need of a name?

Jello Biafra once called her the worst person he'd ever met. And added a "really" to that.
- He also called her a "whore for police brutality". She would personally come see police raids on punk shows in the early 80s in th SF area.
I hope it's the post office in the tenderloin that takes general delivery mail for homeless people without an address.
- I hope that post receives extra funding as that's a very important service for an at-risk population. Things like that are when I'm very happy to pay taxes as they're providing a needed service.
Honestly, I think it's hilarious. Imagine having a post office named after you.

I guess mentioning Paris Hilton is a good draw to the article, but I'm guessing most people don't know about the facilities she was put in for being a "troubled teen" and why the Stop Institutional Child Abuse Act is so important because people still associate her with being the vapid socialite she played on TV.

If you don't know much more, you can start by reading about her, but I also recommend the comic at Elan.school.

Elan.school is a very rough and long read. It's fantastic, but one should know that there are very heavy topics involved and it certainly isn't for everyone.
- Fair point. Thanks for the warning.
I think most people think about how she shot to stardom with a blow job. One Night in Paris is was put her to stardom above all the other vapid socialites.
- Nah, she was already a wealthy heiress and had her own reality show before that video came out.
- Which sucks because she didn't release it or want it released.
Fuck mate, Elan.school was a rollercoaster.
- I never got to the end as it just kept getting worse and worse. I only made it to where he escapes and gets caught again.
- Yeah. It's the reading equivalent of passing a horrific car accident. No matter how awful it gets, no matter how many times you remember that this is 100% true, you have to keep reading.
Hooooooooooly poop. I have watched a few documentaries and seen interviews about these fucked up programs, but never heard of elan school. Already on chapter 11 and I'm going to devour the entire thing, it's depressingly enthralling.
Thanks for the link! 💕
I knew a little about the horrific shit Paris Hilton was put through, but I'd never seen that comic... Shit is intense.
Piggybacking to say that Behind the Bastards has done a few dives into Elan school/the troubled teen industry before that are really informative, entertaining, and easy to digest

Only two of those bills were worth mentioning. The one about trouble teen industry being more regulated and the college hazing accountability.

These are pretty serious times when he could be doing some data scrubbing, premptively pardoning others so they might act now in ways trump wont like, perma-loaning eq to allies, and just generally trump-proofing. But instead he's signing a national bird act. Good old 'nothing will fundamentally improve' Joe Biden. What an arrogant doddering asshat.
- Signing doesn't take him any time at all, but that 50-ish irrelevant bills were given limited Senate time doesn't speak well to how seriously the Democrats are taking this limited window.

I suppose 2 of those bills will be stinkers, kind of like his pardons.
