Love this view of the aerials, with the clouds it looks like he's just spinning off into space until the mountains finally come back in view

At the very least, Pluribus has a great answer to “If you had to cast somebody to play a character who changes the course of human history, which You’re the Worst cast member would be the funniest option”

With SNAP/EBT cuts looming I highly recommend downloading this app! Basically restaurants and other food businesses will have available bags of random food they don’t wanna waste for ppl to buy for hella cheap! This has saved me sooooo many times when I only have $5 and need some food.

Caught some of this on cable the other day and my new favorite part is when Reuben asks the team who’s on the $100 bill and someone off-screen just says “Adams”

This took a while to get done, but I've chronicled my day among the protesters in Los Angeles, and the idea that this is anything but a celebration of cultural heritage and a firm, nonviolent demand to protect family, friends and neighbors is totally ridiculous. prospect.org/justice/crie...

"GenAI can simulate all of the steps: it can summarize readings, pull out key concepts, draft text, and even generate ideas for discussion. But that would be like going to the gym and asking a robot to lift weights for you."

taking this opportunity to share the mindblowing thing about the Miette tweet I only learned recently: AT NO POINT IN THE ORIGINAL TEXT DOES IT MENTION THAT MIETTE IS A CAT. the text is so evocative that it communicates all without ever needing the c-word.

every MLB opening day I like to reflect on some of the lessons baseball teaches us about life, like how it's a miserable grinding slog that almost always ends in meaningless failure, and even your attempt to endeavor it is something most people will never have the time or inclination to care about

It's kind of a simple concept for the show this week: call up three smart, wise, funny friends and ask how they're holding up amid the chaos and the fear that flows out every time one checks the news.

The LA Times has a good list of places offering discounted or free food and coffee to displaced families and/or first responders. Check it out and double check to be sure what deals are where. (added this to my running resources list) www.latimes.com/food/list/lo...

Just a reminder that if you’re anywhere near the fires but haven’t received an evacuation order yet, it might be a good idea to charge your devices, pack a go bag — important paperwork, medication, hygiene items, cash, changes of clothes — and come up with a plan for where to go, just in case.
