A XMAS MIRACLE! Oasis saved! – Popular nightclub receives emergency donation; will close for only a few months! www.ebar.com/story/161602

Lessons from this weekend’s blackout: 1. PG&E can’t be trusted to provide reliable service to this city. 2. New technologies like Waymo are not ready for emergencies and could seriously hinder public safety.

Such a shit show. Hideous timing. Go support your local affected businesses! apple.news/AIuRc7Z98T3u...

Some real talk about the leftover gold after Thanksgiving: turkey stock and the carcass! I feel so seen. Thank you, @hels.bsky.social! www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.
