I did all of these, but 9 only as a joke. I once put a Sony Sports boombox on top my car tho, and drove away before noticing, and it fell off (it was ok).

Until the end of the government shutdown, our campaign will be donating $2,500 a month to a food pantry in the Ninth District. And to my fellow candidates, I challenge you to do the same:

Had to share this -- the place where I am catsitting has a spring riding horse of this era, and it made me nostalgic for the 70s...

I am sick at home, stressing about if I can get healthcare this year. This is the American experience. Add yours.

Me when Google or Meta gives me an AI summary of something I never asked for.

If you are in a position to have more than you need, please donate funds to your local food bank. See if your company does matching donations. www.feedingamerica.org/find-your-lo... They buy & distribute fresh, nutritious food that meets local community/cultural needs to individuals & non-profits.

Bluesky, next.

Been sick at home with a cold for a few days, and my cats couldn't be happier with the situation. I make for an excellent heated bed.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Devastating— “I’m afraid for my parents to leave the house. They treat us like dogs because of the color of our skin. I shouldn’t be scared, I should be focusing on school.” A 16yo American living in fear of the Trump regime’s ICE goons terrorizing brown people pleads for help.

BREAKING: PROP 50 HAS PASSED IN CALIFORNIA

Besides living for a Mamdani win and a Cuomo loss, I am sipping the fine whine of endless MAGA tears…

thank you for the outpouring of support! those of us laid off from Teen Vogue yesterday are now sharing our GoFundMe to help us cover our emergency expenses now that we've lost our incomes, as we get back on our feet.

“In January 2021 after the politics section had broken our traffic records with coverage of the COVID pandemic, George Floyd protests, election, and Capitol insurrection, Anna Wintour asked [news and politics editor] Lucy Diavolo if we still needed a politics section. After all, Joe Biden had won.”

I couldn’t be prouder to vote YES on Prop 50. Get out and Vote!

I too hate daylight savings

Condé Nast has laid off all the black female writers at Teen Vogue, as well as trans writers. This was formerly one of the best news sources, empowering women and girls. Commercial media is rapidly whitewashing and silencing female, BIPOC & LGBTQ+ voices.

It's soup season! If you pick up some butternut squash soup, and want to give it more flavor, consider: kuzefukuandsons.com/products/jap... And add some roasted pumpkin seeds on top (sans shells).

Have you changed all your clocks yet? Updated: Sony alarm clock and Casio watch (just now, by following the manual pdf) –– car radio still needs to be updated...

Real quick: if you use ai in your advertising, I’m not just going to not buy your product but I will go out of my way to tell other people not to buy it as well. Like it’s just gross and cheap and gross like bleeggh 🤢🤮 I don’t want to see that shit in my home

#Oakland peeps, check out this beauty! Give her a home!

What will you do with the extra hour? (Turn your clock back at 2am Sunday.) www.npr.org/2025/11/01/n...

I know this year has been a raging dumpster fire, a level of hell not even numbered yet, but can I request a Mamdani win? So we have one glint of effervescent sunshine in an endless shitstorm? My smile will be unprompted.

"The AI Con reminds us that the fight over AI is not only about technology. It’s also about language, labor, and the stories we choose to tell about the future, which we can humanize rather than surrender to the myriad ways mass automation dehumanizes." lareviewofbooks.org/article/the-...

This is literally Nazi shit. This is what the Nazis did. If you support this, you are a Nazi, and if that makes you upset, then STOP BEING A FUCKING NAZI

Portland dance group offers free Latin dance lessons at ICE facility 💃🏽

there are going to be a lot of stories in the next couple weeks about the generosity of ordinary people in helping their fellow Americans and all of them will be wonderful and none of them should be necessary we don’t have to have a government this cruel and capricious

#Oakland friends --- and everyone, keep your eyes open for these priceless items.

Seems like a great time to rewatch www.netflix.com/title/60033508 Nevada, this is what you have to look forward to. Bikini Atoll today: stanfordmag.org/contents/wha...

My fellow Gen Xers, are you feeling major déjà vu? Seems like not only does Trump go by the 1984 playbook, he wants to bring back the 80s-era cold war arms race, too.

Was a time when this would sound paranoid, but no more. With the Trump administration checking phones at the border for anti-Trump content, how safe is it to have Trump supplicant Jeff Bezos' Alexa in your home with its ability to listen to your conversations? immpolicytracking.org/policies/rep...

I’ve been having a bunch of questionable accounts follow me since MAGA invaded. If you have no posts/replies, no profile pic, no history, or have posts just since the red tide, I will block you.

As the federal government shutdown disrupts critical food benefits, food banks across the state are available to assist Californians in need. Dial 2-1-1 to speak with someone about services available in your area, or find a local food bank near you at cafoodbanks.org/our-members.

Today is not the best car day. I got a parking ticket (I paid for two hours, and it showed as paid, but WF declined the payment due to a replacement card snafu on their end) — and my car has been smoking/burning oil, so it has to go in to be evaluated. ARGH.

I would rather live next door to someone who speaks another language than live next door to someone who doesn’t want to live near people who speak other languages. I know nothing about Person A but I know person B is a shitbird.

As someone who is obsessed with writing tools/pencils, Japanese stationery and products, and who loves to see how things are made, this is the most gratifying video. The sounds, too! youtu.be/sgRTNfFyO6I?...
