here she comes

2 power flashes so far tonight and another intense looking line of storms not long away

bluesky をようこそ いらしい to train town

2nd power flash in 10 minutes oh boy

"are you still a believer in Santa? Because at seven it's marginal right?" Is unfortunately one of the funniest things a man has ever said to a child (2018)

Jesus, can you hear me? Good, the comms are working. Now, you're gonna need to run if you want to evade those Roman soldiers. Hold down A to sprint. Go ahead and try it. ... Good work! You just might be the savior yet. Now pick up that AR-15 and let's do some target practice.

It's unfortunate that our funniest president is also our Hitler

hes still got the juice unfortunately

we should take all the catholic churches wealth and also every VC and techbro who recently converted to catholocism

happy holidays to the haters and loosers

👀

biden could have cancelled student debt for everyone

It’s not “losing money” any more than air traffic controllers or public highways or street lights or fire departments are “losing money.” It is a government service. It’s not SUPPOSED to make money. It’s supposed to reliably deliver to anywhere in the US, even the unprofitable places.

I lack the moral and ethical fortitude to be naughty but also am too surly to be nice.

i think this book may be just a bit popular lmao happy to see, but i probably be getting to it for a while

approaching 80mph gusts 👀

radicalize every gamer like this and not into a chud

i constantly talk about this when advocating for transit instead of EVs, they continue our car dependence, require expensive resource extraction, and create more tire dust its a blind zone for our politicians who want the market solve climate change thru individual consumption

the lesson from Abu Ghraib wasn't "don't torture people," if anything it was "brag about the torture instead of hiding it," and honestly that's fair! the CIA torture report came out and nothing changed!

mmm leftovers

And it goes from day to night.

They're going to kill someone in the next blackout

Merry Christmas!

Drivers are so stupid they dont realize they're the main beneficaries of this policy. Making driving harder for people who dont need to drive (like me) frees up space for drivers who do need to drive.

I hope everyone understands that this was never about the grade or religious freedom. This was a targeted attack on a trans faculty member, and it succeeded.

You don't need to think about what is "normal." You are you. One day, the world will come where there is no need to categorize people as LGBT🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 Until that day arrives, I will continue to send out this message. Your soul is beautiful.

Now if we could just get people to view US prisons through the same lens they view CECOT.

i need a better tripod and kentmere 200 halation is as great as ever

existing in a big box store during the holidays gives me PTSD

today's photo post is all highlights from @asterolsen.bsky.social's TRANSPlants Issue 4 release party, which was incredibly fun and featured live music by @vivmccall.bsky.social's Pansy, playing music off her new EP. also I finally got a chance to read again and it was really fun!!

i am not looking forward to seeing how he grid reacts to the potential downpour and 60mph gusts in the coming days when a little bit of rain caused this current outage

Do SF next

After four years of outreach and project planning, merchants have once again paused (and are attempting to kill) a transit priority project. Riders need to go to future meetings and make their demands clear: faster, safer service.

dudes really rock

20x24 polaroid is so cool youtu.be/FNxHLVFjVdA

one of the critical things here is that 90 percent of journalism has been destroyed, and the remaining 10 percent is what was once the top 10 percent, highly status-driven, highly opinion-driven, and intensely New York/DC centered. there's no ladder to come up as a journeyman left.

it turned out really good

lmao

pozole in progress

coward is calling it a battleship and it doesn't even have 16in guns smh revive the Montana class if your gunna slap your face on something i want something funny i can watch leave SF harbor for WW3 before its immediately sunk by a chinese cruise missile

I wrote much less this year than I've written in the past five, so there's not a whole lot to revisit. This piece, though, I still think is probably the best article I've ever written, even if it was a dumb professional move to write it [free to read] www.patreon.com/posts/empero...

PG&E has now estimated that they’d restore power Saturday afternoon, Saturday evening, Saturday night, Sunday morning, Sunday afternoon, Monday afternoon, and now Monday night Really an extraordinary display of making a bad situation worse through terrible comms

This power outage sucks for everyone who got hit, but people who live in taller apartments are extra dependent on power for water (city water pressure doesn’t cover much height at all) and the elevator. Carrying water up the stairs is no easy feat for even the able bodied.

The #1 thing I miss from my pretransition life was the ability to be taken seriously whenever I had an issue with any mechanical or technical device, rather than disregarded as a stupid bimbo

The PR push around “we’re taking the power outage in the Richmond very seriously” lowkey icks me out for how much it de-centred the rest of the city. Thousands of people in Civic Center have no power OR water w/ yet another quiet delay, and narry a peep from Mr Vertical Video.
