Still gobsmacked by this Sacramento Planning Commission meeting. 300 unit project. Tons of public support. Commissioners said state law required them to approve, but that they’d support it regardless. All agreed they’d prefer less parking. 10-0 vote to support. Done in 2 hours. Magical.

I see no reason not to look at the online gambling and prediction market craze as a new opioids crisis. It will wreak havoc on lower-income Americans and leave a trail of destruction and despair in its wake. The companies are just Purdue Pharma 2.0 www.liberalcurrents.com/from-pill-mi...

RFK Jr: I'm not scared of a germ. I used to snort cocaine off of toilet seats.

Curling gold medal game was one hell if a match to watch

Any other millennials can’t stop thinking about this song during the winter Olympic? youtu.be/sNJmfuEWR8w?...

On the one hand, I drove like an idiot many times in HS, and that was without a smartphone. On the other hand, I will have to be a personal chauffeur for teenage boys if they dont learn how to drive because I live in Sacramento www.businessinsider.com/gen-z-driver...

you're telling me this guy had a bad plan

I have a 2019 Sienna, perfect for moving two toddlers, a 60 lbs dog, and luggage for a family weekend trip. My friends who have SUVs are often far more cramped by comparison.

My colleague got into Trump's sprawling family detention camp, which is full of toddlers, kids, & teens. - Kids have cut themselves or talked about suicide -There's worms & mold in food -300 kids have been held for 30+ days, far longer court settlement allows www.propublica.org/article/life...

Hell yeah!

are…uhh…are we the penis?

My toddler is watching the luge right now and is yelling “Slow down! Slow down!”

LOL.... i wanted to hear JD getting booed at the Olympics and when i searched for it on YouTube i got this

Something I’m enjoying about the Olympics I didn’t expect: Not being constantly bombarded with DraftKings and FanDuel ads. I don’t need to have “the lines” on every race

For months, this group of protesters have spent every Friday at a major intersection in the North Natomas, Sacramento calling to abolish ICE

please consult the chart

Welcome to the Winter Olympics don't ask about how many people died or were injured in the making of this sport please and thank you.

“You never know if there is going to be food at a White people party” causal observations you bring up in mixed race home

Bingeing the Olympics this morning. My toddler was very excited to the the Zamboni

California deserves an interurban electric that connects downtown Sacramento with downtown Oakland or SF transbay terminal via the (now) much larger towns of the East Bay... Oh wait we ripped it up like morons in 1955.

Sacramento has had 3 major freeway widenings within the decade, I-5, I-80, US-50 (which is extra over budget and delayed and lane splitting that killed a lot of people). I have to run the numbers but it’s over $1B on more freeway lanes. Glad we declared a climate emergency

Sacramento deserves a regional rail system. What would it take to build it?

‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." … She offered me $2600 to self-deport. I refused. I wanted to talk to my attorney. They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’

You now need to earn nearly $300,000 to own a home in San Jose. The median household income is already quite high at ~$141,000, but not this high! The California housing shortage is out of control. sanjosespotlight.com/san-jose-is-...

Wow! What sounded like the entire AEW Dynamite audience in Las Vegas tonight chanted "Fuck ICE! Fuck ICE!" in unison before the main event

BREAKING: The Trump administration repeatedly said the aggressive apartment raid in Chicago last fall was prompted by intel on a gang takeover. New docs show the real motivation was to get alleged squatters. And the landlord and manager helped them. www.propublica.org/article/chic...

You *can* get a Chicago pizza slice in Tokyo from a couple places. But many Japanese 'American Pizzas' are "what America would look like as a pizza" instead of "What American pizza looks like". Here's one I really thought was neat. Mayo/Corn pizza, too; associated with the US, but not from the US

The current exposure for the California FAIR plan (California’s insurer of last resort) sits at $724 billion. Its liability almost doubled in two years and is now more than double the state’s annual budget. In its most recent financial reporting it had about $1.5 billion on hand.

This was a wild read. Jordan does the lord's work with these threads and attending these meetings.

Apparently my mortgage just got bought by a different company. Can anything go wrong with this chat?

Wow, I know somebody personally who is in the Epstein files A professor I have worked with was mentioned. Thank gosh it was someone just mentioning he had a good website

I'm sorry but "Elon Musk was too weird and creepy to go to Epstein Island" is an absolutely insane thing that we now all know and have to price in whenever we talk about the world's richest man

One of the most insightful things I learned from @lionsledbydonkeys.bsky.social podcast episodes about genocides is that the average next-door neighbors can be convinced to do mass murder to each other to steal their neighbor’s home

Duck cake in real life. #Bluey

Federal judge has ordered the release of Liam Ramos (the bunny hat boy) and his father. A brief and rather remarkable order. Clearly written to be shared widely, so please do. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Kinda reveals how Weiss was able to rise so high and so fast despite being an objective mediocrity - she simply tapped into a huge network of elite pedophiles and signalled that she could help them!

HAPPY BOSTON MOONINITE PANIC DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE

👀 Every Senate Democrat + Collins and Murkowski just voted for the Bernie Sanders amendment to repeal the $75 billion in additional ICE funding under Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” The measure failed 49-51.

Sickening. Academies need free movement of people and ideas to achieve world class education and research. As a scientist I have been mentored by Chileans, Canadians, Israelis, Finns, Chinese, and more than I can remember here.

The governor of Texas is rapidly turning world-class universities into minor regional ones. Example:

Comedy Med doctors now posting how to treat pepper spray is a great sign of the times

I remember being on campus that day. I was a research assistant working in lab on the other side of campus. A day or two later 5,000 people came to the quad to demand our chancellor’s resignation.

Today my cousin who works with special needs kids at a public school in California had an all staff meeting on what to do when ICE shows up on campus. Fuck ICE, no teacher should have to worry about their kids being kidnapped at school by masked thugs

I hate gas leaf blowers. Today carrying for a sick kid my neighbor‘s gardener decided to blast their’s at full strength to blow away a whopping two leaves waking my sick 1 year old up. They caused gardeners go deaf, pollute the neighborhood with gas & dirt, and wakes everyone up 100s of meters away

She has so much more guts than these goons in the White House and the goons they send to terrorize schools and grocery stores.
