It's the tiniest pet peeve but I wish news outlets had better art than "front of the building with logo" for all these stories about federal agencies. Also: I think NSF moved out of this building earlier this year? ALSO: THESE MFERS FIRED THE WHOLE OVERSIGHT BOARD www.nytimes.com/2026/04/25/u...

The Access of Evil

There should be a Sandlot movie about this gang of multi-racial kids running through the streets of Pasadena, with one of them ending up in Japanese internment camp (while the neighborhood took care of his family home), and one of them ending up being Jackie Robinson.

The Coachella music festival is in the news with the minimum price of sold out 3-day ticket costing $549. Contrast that with "Nicolas" who is currently harvesting onions in the Coachella area and getting paid $22 for a $900lb crate. #WeFeedYou #coachella2026
