Multi-party elections with ranking preference voting? A dipship xenophobe fascist criminal runs in the Dublin Central byeelection and gets some votes, and goes away. It's the dipshit relief valve for those voters. In the US it is zero-sum, you must vote against the other side or it's catastrophic.

#MinsGame Days 22-23 Another 2 days of feeling unmotivated,so 44 emails older than this year and an empty terrarium, the occupants long dead. #Minimalism #Decluttering #SwedishDeathCleaning

I really don't know too much about her, but Amy Reichert seems to be a real POS.

As someone said in one of the comments, if he just spends a year touring public access I’ll watch every one!

Who’s next?

In case you’re wondering how rigged this $1,776M slush fund agreement was: Trump’s personal tax attorney is now the top lawyer at the IRS.

Biden told his staff, as VP and as POTUS, that he’d be angry if he learned that they ever skipped out on an important family thing for work. And here you’ve got Trump telling his kid via his blog “sorry, can’t be at your wedding, just got piles of government here,” and you know he’ll just golf.

I just got back from the San Diego Bulwark show! It was fabulous. I felt so good when I left that show. Thanks to all of you! I needed that bit of hope.

In the middle of construction the University Bikeway project has been halted. There are about a mile of open trenches sitting there for "unforeseen soil conditions" Best of luck remediating that, and getting back to construction.

At least one person, the security guard, was killed, and there are unknown additional casualties at this time. This is the largest mosque in San Diego County, and one that I often attend. :( www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/s...

San Diego trip: 50 Shades Of Gay Ike Avelli and I went kayaking on the pacific at La Jolla Cove WOW! That was incredible. Saw seals sunbathing, pelicans, paddled inside a cave when a huge wave came as we were exiting the cavern Then lunch at Jeffs’ Beach Burgers Great day w La Jolla Kayaks

Dave’s No-Fail Tips for Being a Tourist in France: - If someone says Bonjour to you, say Bonjour back - If you’re approaching someone and they haven’t said anything yet, say Bonjour - Then smile and say “I’m so sorry, I don’t speak French” and either they speak English or you’ll figure it out. 👍

I had big plans for my fourth annual Independence Day 5K in Coronado. Also, I strained my calf. I paused my training plan,and if I can get off my arse I'm going to walk to the gym and do some strengthening exercises as it heals. @beercricketrunning.bsky.social Such is life as an oldster.

#MinsGame Day 15 Still wonky and had to adult anyway. So, 14 emails and a broken Rubbermaid tub. It's at least a decade old. #Minimalism #Decluttering #SwedishDeathCleaning

There’s 2 good progressive candidates that’ve name recognition in the race. Becerra & Porter. Steyer is a billionaire (not trustworthy for that reason alone). If either makes the general against an R, then they are the governor. CA allows too many candidates in its primary. Ranked Choice is better.

A write-in campaign to challenge/protest Juan Vargas here in the fightin' 52nd! I'm down. Let's go, Frances Yasmeen Motiwalla!

Circulate joined the Housing Federation today for their press conference about making San Diego more affordable.

California is the highest expression of the American experiment. The state is literally the greatest thing we've ever built as a people.

I love when the SDPD helicopter flies over with an announcement. “The San Diego Police Department is looking for (inaudible) gray (inaudible) black (inaudible) Hispanic (inaudible) call 9-1-1.” Repeat three times, still no idea what they are looking for. Missing person? Suspect? Elderly, kid? 🤷‍♀️

It's really neat how every single San Diego museum, non-profit, and arts org than I'm a supporter or member of is currently unified in shit-talking our current mayor, each in their own way.

#MinsGame Day 13 13 pieces of paper that needed action taken on them. Not very exciting but always nice to see paper go. #Minimalism #Decluttering #SwedishDeathCleaning

#MinsGame Day 11 Here are 11 light bulbs, varying sizes which came w/the house & mostly fit nothing we own, 3 dead. We redid the lights in a couple of rooms a few years ago. These should have made their way out then but we never got around to it. #Minimalism #Decluttering #SwedishDeathCleaning

This is the first time I've seen a Sea Pansy in the San Diego area on my beach walk. They usually like warmer waters. It's a type of soft coral and is bioluminescencent! Interesting creature! #seapansy #pacificocean #sandiego

Pouring one out for my husband, trying to set up for San Diego Fringe Fest today.

A few months ago activists like me spoke against FLOCK automated license plate readers being installed in San Diego. We lost. The City Council renewed their contract because they are in thrall to the SD Police Dept. Whatever PD wants, PD gets‼️🤬

Liban Mohamed is the progressive underdog in the race for a House seat but victory at the state party convention offers grounds for optimism
