“an individual with the user’s name was listed at an address of an apartment less than a mile from a Kingsville CBP facility, WIRED has not been able to verify that the flashcard set was created by an active CBP agent” OMFG idiot studying for a CBP exam or whatev put all their security shit online

WUT I've bought like 3 different kinds of hammers (and also all the other tools I own) I used to just use a fucking wedge-heeled shoe to hammer things until I bought a hammer lol

Remaking the "I'm a Mac & I'm a PC" commercial with the original actors to be about how Ozempic is so much better than other GLP-1s bc this is the US & we're already advertising rx drugs on TV & GLP-1s as essentially "tell your doctor you want it & you get it"? wow what a time to be alive!!!

How big of cities are we talking here, because I grew up in North County San Diego in the 90s and early 2000s and I could name off 10 just from there

I'm listening to the most recent episode of Why Won't You Date Me and Danielle Fishel is the guest and she is talking about her husband at length and then I remembered that he's the "shrimp tails in cinnamon toast crunch & possibly emotionally abusive" Twitter main character of the week hahaha

And this on top of the fact that they have yet to show us ANY consumer level uses for the thing that do anything well or as promised, much less uses that are worth this happening

one of the most literal applications of manufactured consent i've seen

I love packaging that assumes the general public does not understand anything at all about math or percentages. It's especially true on products associated with diets & "wellness" You're telling me that a product with zero calories has 100% fewer calories than products with calories???🤯

If this was in a transit station here those plants would get jacked so fucking fast hahaha

In the continuing saga of my life of data breaches, I decided to switch to a diff bank acct just in case. My apt mgmt’s portal wanted me to give my bank login/pw to a 3rd party who then would have access to my entire account incl all transactions instead of taking my routing & acct # & doing it ACH🫠

Five whales have died in SF Bay since March 17th (I believe all were Grey Whales). Last year 21 died in the Bay over the course of migration season. It's so stupid that we just have to deal with this kind of shit bc ships count more than whales

Preparing for Easter by reflecting on the Elizabeth Hurley tweet

oh no the influx of people signing up and immediately following 40k people and showing up in my replies to post dogshit lowres trump 1 memes is slowing down whatever will i do

good every new person who shows up is annoying and a lot of the old ones too

They’re making this woman pay $500 a month to talk to her husband.

Los Angeles Bluesky, I need your help. I just learned that on Saturday at the protest at the downtown Metropolitan Detention Center, a friend’s 18-year-old son was shot in the eye with a pepper ball by DHS, permanently blinding him. He needs justice. If you were there and saw anything, please… 1/5

Ahahahaha Sorry but HahahaHahaha

“The Klan monument is run by slave labor” is a little too on the fucking nose

This is the kind of SF I like to see

Oh good I just got an email informing me of another data breach involving my information, different from the one I got the other day that is likely what got my debit card stolen and why I cannot pay rent on time this month I fucking hate this future

welp. reminding you that if you find a bat in your home that you did not literally see enter the home, go get rabies prophylaxis. the last person who died from rabies in CA was bitten by a bat they handled & still didn’t realize they were bitten & died shortly after symptom onset *A MONTH LATER*

“Cognitive surrender” is such a perfect term.

just in time for easter

The last few times we've had earthquakes in the middle of the night, I've woken up like a minute before they start. Further evidence that I'm right when I feel like some weird species other than human lol

Fuck my actual life. Good thing I'm back in the office full time in 2 weeks 🙃

Just saw a ruby-crowned kinglet in the tree outside my office window. There was also one in the bush at the entrance to my apartment building. At least one thing is good I guess.

Einsturzende Neubauten had a live-streamed concert from their rehearsal space for their 46th anniversary & it was at 5 am my time but I caught it later and it was the only thing that made today slightly bearable

For those who might forget, Diana Diaz Harrison runs a series of schools in Arizona that secluded and restrained #ActuallyAutistic students (via @bethhawkins.bsky.social). www.the74million.org/article/trum...

I just.... wtf I hate this shit. What do you mean it's going to be in the 40s tonight and then in the 80s in three days??? Eat my entire ass

aaaaand they already rejected it jfc

Oh fuck you IRS wtf

i volunteer??

“Among the lawsuit’s many claims: “The Florida scrub-jay has no commercial or economic value” i would LOVE to see a breakdown of how much tourism in FL, esp in specific areas, is due to birding or other wildlife viewing/eco-tourism activities. nature is the only reason anyone i know has been there!

bb giant salamander larvae!!!

I feel like April Fools shenanigans sucks for a lot of us now because we're so bone tired of our bullshit meter having to be On all the damn time about everything. It's like a holiday celebrating defensive driving where everybody gets in their cars and drives around aimlessly for hours

Meanwhile someone stole my debit card number, stole a bunch of money so I can't pay rent today, and I have to go to the office tomorrow and gas is over $6 a gallon and I have an empty tank! Yay! It's kinda like April fools but the fool is me trying to live my life!

Per APTP, San Leandro Police harassed and brutalized a Black homeless man, couldn't anything to charge him with, then dumped him in Oakland

Yay, it's the internet's most annoying day. I wish someone told all these companies & accounts that when you're living through the worst kind of absurdity, where ridiculous & awful shit is happening every gd day "April Fools" posts are whatever the triggering version of gilding the fucking lily is.

OMG I just heard the most unintentionally funny objection that I believe contains a folk etymology that I was completely unaware of: I just heard a Mexican-American tell another Mexican-American that someone said "Oy vey!" & that person is "not allowed to speak Spanish"!!??

Omfg I just got served a Vampire the Masquerade LARPing reel on Instagram. the '90s are so fucking back

Don’t know if you can help in any way but you do have a huge following…someone stole my moms Scottie from her yard today 3 girls on a moped , my mom is 89 and its her best pal can i share this story for you to post ? Thanking you www.wpri.com/video/commun...

i might have to nuke this fucking account & start over. i have no idea how to figure out who & how many people i need to unfollow so i don’t have to read a constant stream of shit such as discourse about the correct way to discourse here where most of it is just masturbatory smugness

😐 Milpitas is spending $60,000 to give out free Ring cameras for “safety”

I truly feel like I'm taking fucking crazy pills. I have no issue at all with crossdressing, with bimbofication, with any kind of fetishes or kinks along those lines, it's just that every single thing that happens in and around this administration couldn't be scripted to be more absurd

THURS APRIL 9, 1pm in downtown SF! Join us at a candidate forum for the Californians seeking the office of Insurance Commissioner. Our free event will be moderated by the formidable @meganmunce.bsky.social of the Chronicle. www.spur.org/events/2026-...

The year is 2026. My country is circling the drain and apocalypse feels closer than ever as I swealter in my apartment after 2 weeks of 85 degree March days. I open my front door to discover that Amazon now delivers my groceries in bags featuring hunks and zaddies. What a time to be alive.

Happy Farmworker Day, California. Wrote about the shift from celebrating an individual to a collective.

the guy who is trying to kill every job in the world except slave is living across the street from this diego rivera mural venerating the worker
