Boys came in and went directly to their food bowls, ignoring me entirely.

I am so screwed.

I want to explain to liberals that declaring everything (window-breaking etc.) “terrorism“ can come back to bite you in the butt.

Do I need to tell you that tweets from the President are not medical advice?

Political violence

I’m reworking an old blog for tenants in foreclosed properties—making sure it’s current and letting people know that I won’t be updating it again. There’s a lightness to my writing that doesn’t exist now.

All right everybody, time to read (or reread) The 18th Brumaire of Louis Napoleon. Ground rules: we are not reading for the history of 1848-1852 France, but we're also not looking for direct parallels to the contemporary US. We are looking for broad lessons on politics and just generally good lines.

My email was more interesting when John was alive.

This is a new one. Landlord groups have traditionally argued that rent control would cause property values to collapse. www.pressherald.com/2025/09/24/s...

Hmm, maybe the City could pick up some of these properties. missionlocal.org/2025/09/sf-v...

It’s hard to feel joy when your government is prosecuting genocide. www.sacbee.com/opinion/arti...

John would probably have liked her book.

NBC had yet another story on the rent scam, where tenants respond to ads and get scammed for hundreds or thousands of dollars. This would die in a week if governments established rental registries. I say again. And again.

All right, let's do this. I have no inside info on @karenattiah.bsky.social's case. But I know Post employees are part of @postguild.bsky.social, and their contract allows the union to challenge "disciplinary action on the basis that is was taken without just cause." So what's just cause? 1/

AI is scamming us, and making us dumber than rocks.

I’m amazed that there’s been such a restrained response to Trump’s batsh*t crazy speech at the UN.

It’s 97°. Both cats are inside.

31 months. My life still has a giant hole in it.

If the Dems want to move to the right, we can’t stop them. Just do it already and leave us alone to have more interesting conversations.

The Refute Zionists Superficial Argumentation Starter Pack: I make this thread because I am tired of having to repeat myself over and over. If in the future new things come to light, new stuff will be added. But copy paste will be nicer than repeating. It will be a Q and A form. Use if you want idc

@salterfry.bsky.social I think we need you here. There’s some serious exploitation going on.

Beating up a woman. Yeesh!

Cats at rest.

John will be horrified, but I’m going to buy a ceramic Jack-o-lantern for Halloween. I don’t have strength or skill to do what he did. But I will give out candy this year. All on my own!

I miss John’s dorky.

Today in Black History: On Sep. 18, 1980, Cuban cosmonaut Arnaldo Tamayo Méndez became the first Black man sent on a mission to space when he flew to orbit onboard a Soviet Soyuz. He is also the first Latin American and first Cuban to go to space. #BlackHistoryFacts #BlackHistory #Cuba #Caribbean

I wish I could get someone to pick up potting soil for me. I spent $25 to have $35 in potting soil delivered.

BREAKING NEWS: Local woman is cooking chicken, just to have the smell of cooking in the house.

Profiles in Spinelessness. A series of books.

How many younger people watch local TV news? From the ads, it’s old white people in the burbs.

Things in Austin aren’t so good after all. austinmonitor.com/stories/2025...

There are relatively few conservatives in many university departments because conservatives don’t do intellectual work. They make stuff up, stuff that’s easily disproved.

Unemployment is rising, yet so is consumer spending. Why? Because the rich can buy so much more than everyone else. Economists call it a K-shaped economy; plutonomy is more accurate. From @ddayen.bsky.social: trib.al/rUAPh3u

Mainstream media didn’t play any of Trump’s remarks at the State Dinner because they were so embarrassing.

great little story www.ft.com/content/3c1a...

Listening to the Sacramento City Council on the micro communities. They really hate poor people. And one of them asked if someone made $100 a month, would they have to pay $30 for rent. Uh, that leave $70 a month for all other expenses. Gawd, these people are stupid.

Discovered that I had a tiny role in a poem written by someone I knew 50 years ago. And that she misspelled my name.

It’s so hot that cats haven’t even asked to go outside. Also cats are weirded out because I got out the vacuum cleaner.

Democrats don’t want to defend trans rights because they’re beholden to their rich donors, and they’re lazy. I know of evangelical ministers who defend trans rights, ferhevensake!

Another DLC-like group? How many of these do we need?

Sacramento should be ashamed. www.sacbee.com/news/local/h...

Dreamed about John last night and only remember telling him to write down all the info about his musical instruments, so that I’d have that when giving them away.
