ICE pulls over Texas Monthly’s senior taco editor while reporting in West Texas www.sacurrent.com/news/texas-n...

I'll be starting an interesting internship soon! I have to balance what I can and cannot share here but this is an exciting opportunity to learn about our dysfunctional criminal justice system from the inside, brush up on my social work skills, get up to SF more, and learn about SF city politics.

I continue to remain aghast at the kinds of people I am matched with on dating apps. It's nearly impossible not to want to write satirical accounts about many of them.

Well, I reconnoitered a happy hour tonight and felt underdressed. I’ve never really done happy hours before and don’t know quite how they work. I did not want to sit by myself at the bar.

As part of my Noah Wyle film festival I may need to go back and re-watch a few episodes of ER.

New photo just dropped! I'm attempting to accurately represent my age in my dating apps (wrinkles included).

Mamdani and Ms. Rachel released an adorable video about Mamdani's universal childcare rollout.

I need to upload recent pics that show my wrinkles in order to be honest. #grumblegrumble #datingapplife

By the way I deserve hazard pay for using dating apps

Here’s a first. I ran across the dating app profile of someone who only wants to date unvaccinated women.

AI is spreading more rapidly than we can get our heads around, let alone respond to.

James Talarico is a Dem. state rep. & US Senate candidate in TX. He says he feels a special moral responsibility to confront & denounce the rising Christian nationalism in America. He has framed his faith as central to his politics, citing Jesus’ teachings about “feeding the hungry, and healing...

Never getting the Twin Peaks theme song out of my head

“What do you mean I need to get out of bed on #Caturday?” #cats #BlueskyCats #gato #CatsOfBluesky

This is really smart policy, and it's also good to see Mamdani and the Council President partnering on something early. They may not be aligned on everything, but good politics is maximizing the delivery on what you agree on.

Libraries and bookstores sometimes have fun things for working adults! Mine does a book club

The first season of "The Pitt" consists of one crushing heartbreak after another until Dr. Robby has one of the most powerful and affecting breakdowns on screen I've probably ever seen. Bravo for Noah Wyle getting to shine again.

One of the cute "dad" things that my dad did when I was growing up was to clip articles from the newspaper that he thought I'd find interesting. I used to roll my eyes but looking back it was so thoughtful.

My mom's senior center has so many fun activities and helpful resources. There should be senior centers for younger people!

"The Pitt" (my new obsession) even landed a spot in "The Onion" this week. That's a big milestone.

A salad a day keeps the cancer society away, I like to think.

We are living in a world where the only safe place to be is in the Epstein files.

Is anyone else as obsessed with "The Pitt" as I am?

Whatever groups Good may or may not have been a part of have no bearing on what happened the day she was killed. Nor would her membership in any group justify her killing. This is not an investigation. It's authoritarian propaganda.

Oh And also wut

I love simple elegance and clean lines.

#Fairbanks #Alaska at -30F protests against ICE. We remember Renee Good and the many, many hurt and stolen. Standing here loving cold, not murder, not abductions, and not vice.

Today (everyday) is a great day to foster a dog or cat. Especially if you live somewhere with cold weather.

Bay Area rapid response networks “are reporting an increased interest in volunteer training after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer fatally shot a Minneapolis woman on Wednesday.” www.kqed.org/news/1206910... #ICEOutForGood

I’m at an anti-ICE protest in Encinitas, California. Protesters have gathered on both sides of 10 lanes of traffic. Hard to get more Californian than that.

Is anyone else watching "The Pitt"?

I am here for anti-establishment candidates because the establishment has gotten us nothing.

I am wearing a neutral-toned outfit with bright red socks peeking out from under my jeans. One can't take fashion too seriously!

I'm trying to uninstall Grammarly. I already deleted my account on their website but it's somehow still active on my laptop. I try to drag the Grammarly icon into the trash, but it says it can't do that because the application is open, even though I "quit" the application.

btw for those who don't know why Americans with chronic illness got like 75% more stressed on Jan 1st, it is not just because all the insurance rates blew up. On 1/1, deductibles reset. which means you have to spend some amount of money (up to $10k sometimes) before your insurance COVERS ANYTHING

The number of overnight Venezuela experts is pretty funny but nothing will ever beat when the Nord Stream pipeline blew up and everyone suddenly became experts in deep water detonation physics

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), run by Oz and his boss, RFK Jr., will no longer require physicians to report vaccination rates. Instead, they plan to start having doctors report if they’ve discussed “alternative” vaccine schedules.

Exactly

Every day that the pushback by Congress is muted, the more we can be sure Trump will take it asa green light to invade another country.

Rubio said the US Navy will keep up a "quarantine" of some Venezuelan oil to coerce Maduro's allies to open up the oil industry. A White House official said that's what Trump meant when he said the US will "run" Venezuela. It's the new gunboat diplomacy. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/04/u...

"Too many New Yorkers have been forced to pay more for less—living in unsafe, unconscionable, and unaffordable housing... Today's executive order is the first step towards giving New Yorkers a voice in addressing the housing crisis that is pricing them out of our city."

12+ hours later we finally get an estimate of how many Venezuelans were killed

Want to reduce US reliance on oil? Fund transit and electrify our trains!

It’s hard to believe a president would time an illegal military attack to distract the public’s attention, but today is the statutory deadline for DOJ to release its report on the Epstein file production. Maybe it is just a coincidence.

MS NOW confirms that Maduro will be taken to Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC), the same facility—with horrific conditions—that held prominent prisoners like El Chapo, Sam Bankman-Fried, and Sean Combs, as well as ICE detainees.
