Olive met the girlfriend's dog today and it went *badly*! Anyone have tips for introducing dogs? It started out well, just didn't end good. She's befriended doodles before, so this was a surprise.

Excited to see Ryan Lillis's new Sacramento news outlet launch this month. V:RC changed the landscape of this town in its 8 years, as did Midtown Monthly before it, and others. I think Abridged will be more straight news, but I really like some folks in the team he's assembled.

If you haven’t already, now is a great time to start not supporting Gavin Newsome for president

Lawyers for ICE are increasingly hiding their identities in court. This is completely unprecedented. “We’re not really doing names publicly,” said Judge ShaSha Xu — after stating her own name and those of the immigrants and their lawyers. theintercept.com/2025/07/15/i...

In California, 16- and 17-year-olds are pre-registering as Democrats at a 2:1 rate to those going with the GOP. But the big news is that nearly HALF of young folks are opting for No Party Preference (41%) or third party (7%)

Here’s the bottom line for what’s going on with Grok - if the owner of the website is putting his thumb on the scale hard enough for the chatbot to turn into Goebbels, you should be deeply concerned about what he’s doing to the algorithm that you can’t so easily see, and what it’s doing to you

Really liking The Drain, left/socialist takes on state politics with lots of national politics and some local Sacramento. I'm not aware of anything else quite like it. I'd love to hear them get more into housing, and of course more #caleg. Also it's not super serious/boring/for the easily offended.
