Be a good reality show to fly some magas to Portland or one of these other war-ravaged hellholes and get their boots-on-ground take.

I've always taken Hegseth's obsession with "lethality" to mean we're not going to care about innocent casualties. I suspect the generals summit is in part to make that more explicit and fear what follows.

Eat the can of tuna?

Coastal Cleanup Day super find

Ursula Le Guin, the Lathe of Heaven

How will you know when it gives good answers? When it confirms exactly what I think.

I don’t think a lot of people on the right understand that a lot of people on the left regularly hear people on the left spout opinions we too think are ridiculous, annoying and buzz-killing too, only we don’t then decide it’s worth destroying democracy because Tara thinks bin bags are classist

Post a random picture or else everything will go bad in September.

Normally when I share accessibility bugs I do it for two reasons: 1. Good faith that the company will fix the issue 2. The company won't fix the issue and the public should pay attention. This time, I will look at America by Design for a new reason: rage. Automated test: 288 accessibility bugs

Every time I hear "agentic" my brain repeats it as Kim Deal singing it to the tune of "Gigantic"

Any "two wrongs don't make a right" opponents of California redistricting, please direct your dollars and ire at Wrong #1.

San Diego standing up for democracy. #NoKings

You know, the "I didn't vote for this" voters will be like, "what beef?"

Yay, got it in 4

Thinking of this @propublica.org reporting today about stillbirths of unvaccinated parents during the Delta wave, before CDC had explicitly recommended COVID vaccines for pregnant people and the damage the virus did to the placentas. www.propublica.org/article/covi...

Reminds me of the time TSA accepted my mom's Costco membership card as her ID.

I don't expect much from copilot but thought maybe it would be up to making a schedule where I ask it to rotate assignments and follow a few restrictions. The ensuing chat results are like the old gags of someone intentionally misunderstanding photoshop requests.

Came across a letter the state sent with my mom’s birth certificate in 1932.

One little comma, now feels like it's begging

Can’t get enough of this @valeriejune.bsky.social tune, the anthem I need now “Tell me, my brother, how love goes around Neighbor to neighbor, we create a town City to country, a nation is formed Person to person, a kindness is born open.spotify.com/track/4mYAxN...

#sdbookcrawl had lines out the door at a couple places I went. Great to see! #indiebookstoreday

Had a joke about Prometheus and it was 🔥, but it ruffled a few feathers

I really thought that shower head EO was a joke going around

Giant versions of things will never not be cool. Outside the new public health lab.
