I’m fine with letting CNN accelerate to its final chud form.

Mid 80’s tomorrow letting daughters ditch school to have a beach day

If we are going to do more nuclear for power generation, go big with it and integrate it with desalination and reuse and reusables

Which way American man? Service to self Or Service to others

Oldest is in hs and it’s pretty crazy to see how kids that want to be a qb (and earn $$ on college) go about it. Reclassifying years, moving across the country, etc. kid in her class held back a year to a year that didn’t have starter and then a ringer from 3K miles away transferred in. “Freshmen”

Was wondering again today, whilst waiting in the pickup queue at middle school, why the masons built an obelisk that was dedicated on the same day as the school. Egyptian phallic symbol is too on the nose in front of a school

A sandwich franchise around here had a bunch of franchisees bail on them and change the name juuuuuust enough to keep brand loyalty (and barely modify signage) but avoid legal action. What was once Submarina is now Subman and Submariner.

Like drinking poison Like eating glass

ICE raids are starting to show up in housing data. C class properties in active areas are the ones bearing the brunt of it.

Doomposting is learned helplessness and makes you more obedient

Youngest asked what Epstein island is because “the worst kids at school keep telling other kids they were sent to Epstein island”

The original title of the film Eyes Wide Shut was “Strictly Ba’alroom” but the studio put the kibosh on that

🎵 They wear you down sometimes, kids like wine Magic Christians chew the rind 'Cause bad girls are always bad girls Let's let 'em in🎵

I see a lot of ppl say that the water concerns for data centers are overstated, which is true. The concerns wrt electricity are vastly understated tho, still.

God damn it there was a lot more to it than transferring ag uses to residential. It was how the plot was perpetrated FFS.

Nick Shirley did a breathless video in San Diego that 30 registered voters had their address listed at a location that has a UPS store, so that is evidence of fraud. His problem is that the address is a mixed use property and also has residential units. That won’t stop it from being taken as gospel

It’s gonna be tough for ppl to let go of the entertainment industry but it can be replaced.

the cartels that feed the US drug market are gonna turn over from time to time. Chalk it up as a demand problem

Alyssa Liu and Eileen Gu have it figured out and are joyful a lot of the time. Most of us trade out simple joy in exchange for little moments of dopamine hits. I admire them and they are wise beyond their years.

Saw a rent controlled old as hell apartment building in San Francisco that needs a lot of work sell for an over 5% cap rate. Hmmmmm

Are you focusing on the world you want to live in or are you focusing on what you fear?

They’re gonna flub project blue beam

My expectations for a microblogging site are simple: it must completely delight me, mirror my preferences, and punish my enemies.

Breakfast for dinner is a BFD Had some challah French toast

Youngest broke her pr for overall score at her dive meet today 🤙

Saw a demo for a decent ai use case - it’s basically autonomous pallet jack. But the demo person was euro and kept calling it a “forklift”, which it clearly is not. Offended my sensibilities as a former non-certified forklift operator.

HUD is doing a rulemaking that will kick out about 100k people with “mixed immigration status” from housing and to force low income operators to become part of the enforcement mechanism for DHS. Bleak.

Red light risk it Bitch I’m a charva Big goose parka All black ‘clava

Ppl liked grunge because it was oppositional to the industry taste makers. Then the enshitification machine swallowed the scene.

Once you see that the framework for anything that trump does is “what will cause the most fear and misery” then you stop wondering about why he does anything. Align your expectations.

Wife and I (mostly) both wfh and I learn a lot about managing ppl from observing how she does it. Watched her blunt her employee’s demand to tell their customer no by making it a developmental moment for her employee.

Had a fellow dad try to diminish my daughter’s first place medal for skating in the calif state games because there isn’t “natural ice” here and it’s “like being the best surfer in Iowa”. Our Olympic champion is from California. Interesting

It’s snowing in Santee. Decent shot that it snows in San Diego for first time since early 80’s

In the midst of the most aggressive and alarming federal assault on the First Amendment since the Palmer raids, the Biden-era free speech warriors have focused their outrage on . . . the injustice of releasing the Epstein files.

Trump’s just mad the obungler stole some of the disclosure limelight he wants to hog.

Focusing on good things sharpens my “noticing” skills. There were all of these delights that I refused to notice in the past due to where my focus was (negative)

With the advent of gholas finally everyone can have their own private Duncan Idaho

The Rothschild bank, hired Jeff Epstein and Kathy Rurmmler to negotiate with DOJ on penalties for the bank.

I’m the “human in the loop” just like those nice ppl in the Philippines that remotely operate “fully automated” systems wheeeeeee

Les Wexner, who says that he is possessed by a dybbuk?

Putnam City: the owners of one of the largest McDonald's franchises in OKC decided to talk shit to high schoolers during their walkout. The man in red allegedly assaulted a kid and pissed himself after he was arrested.

Decades ago, when the “Dean Scream” happened, my conservative friends were delighted and asked me to do a token libturd defense. Instead I started poking at GWB quotes and mannerisms and errors. That was not what they were looking for and they let me know I was terribly unfair :(

AZ killed a bill to allow balcony solar. Dumb.

Got booted from watching skating with the family because I made too many bad jokes. I respect their decision.

They’re bottoming from the top like Ralph cifaretto

Oldest passed her silver level in skating for moves in the field. Only 4% of US skaters pass. So proud of her.
