Good call

Holy shit. That one was close.

@finewoodworking.bsky.social @techconnectify.bsky.social (it's a YouTube channel but I'm counting it) Fall of Civilizations The History of Rome Sampson Boat Co (YouTube again, about rebuilding an old wooden boat) Can you tell I'm a dad? I've been told this is Dad coded.

If Aaron Peskin isn't 'practicing politics the right way,' I don't know if anyone is.

I know that there's no bar low enough for RFK Jr to clear, but of all people to state that gun violence wasn't a problem when they were a kid.

I'm starting to think that some of the people at this Berkeley corridor upzoning meeting didn't come with open minds.

The shadows cast specifically by 5-over-1 infill apartment buildings.

Statehood and this guy for governor

My efforts to build a dad themed, rock genre, lullaby playlist is being stymied by the terrible relationships my favorite artists had with their dads.

Taking the baby to see his new clubhouse for the first time. It's great to see Berkeley investing in his generation. Thank you @markhumbert.bsky.social and @loridroste.bsky.social for making this new park space happen!!

In part two of my ongoing series, This Is Peak Masculinity, we have reading @finewoodworking.bsky.social to my newborn.

Maybe he's off racing Arabian horses?

I've never been so proud of my heritage

Can’t really articulate how furious it makes me to see gentile politicians wield fake charges of antisemitism against Mamdani. It’s not just the plain Islamophobia, it’s the fact that they’re needlessly stoking tensions in a way that puts Jewish New Yorkers at GREATER risk.

Do you think, I have not just cause to weep, when I consider that Zohran at my age had conquered so many shitty centrist Dems, and I have all this time done nothing that is memorable?

This is the scariest part of #woodworking

These are entirely too many drawer parts to sand. #woodworking

This idiot doesn't know the first thing about maritime culture. You don't rename ships.

I struggle between on the one hand, wanting to see Bluesky succeed and attracting big accounts and not bullying people off the platform, etc. and on the other hand, whatever in the world this shit is.

Speaking of peak masculinity, a buddy and I spent all day yesterday nailing up a tin ceiling in my dining room and it. Looks. Wild. (The blue paint is just the primer color and wallpaper is being installed in a week and a half)

Spotted in Berkeley. One of these trucks has a useful bed for hauling things and has clearly put in some hard work. The other's bed is barely big enough for its owner's insecurities.

I was at an event a few years ago with Rafi, right before he headed out on a trip to Israel. I asked him to look at how vibrant of a city Tel Aviv is and that apartment buildings on Ocean Beach would not destroy the city. He literally did this meme.

JB Pritzker has strong 'zero group chat' energy

Pritzker invokes his own Jewish background in responding to Trump: "Stop tearing down the Constitution in the name of my ancestors. Do not claim that your authoritarian power grabs are about anti-semitism. When you destroy social justice, you are disparaging the very foundation of Judaism."

Classic Berkeley

We have a chance to build 230 new homes next to downtown Berkeley BART and Cal campus! Help us turn this closed and falling apart theater into new homes and a beautiful restored cafe. actionnetwork.org/letters/plea...

A movie that takes place where you’re from A timely one. I hate Illinois Nazis.

Sometimes I make fun of the performative liberalism of my beloved Berkeley, but this woman is doing some performative liberalism that I can get behind.

I'm sold. It's so refreshing to hear a democrat actually speak with a spine. I still can't believe that most big name dems have left this lane completely open.

My interior decorating style has entered its villain phase

Another big win for the pro-housing movement in Berkeley! Especially great to see several @yimbyaction.bsky.social leads win.

Seeing a pattern that I've had for months in my head starting to take shape is such a rewarding part of woodworking

East Bay YIMBY and @yimbyaction.bsky.social is hosting a happy hour on Thursday with @mayoradenaishii.bsky.social ! Come hear from our Mayor about her plans, share your thoughts, and find out how we can support her housing agenda. actionnetwork.org/events/housi...

Exciting new project being development in Berkeley by @alanakinrich.medsky.social ! Since this is a SB-35 compliant project, we welcome your comments but will not actually do anything with them.

In honor of catching up on Severance.

AC Transit is really not holding up with the rain.

Who needs anti-DEI fascists when you have prop 13?

Can I get one of those "I didn't know Elon was an asshole when I bought my Tesla" bumper stickers but for Neil Gaiman?

Felt that one

I'm considering getting off instagram, for obvious reasons. So I'm looking for recommendations to fill the hole of something relatively idle to do on my phone during downtime. Maybe good mobile games?

Food for thought next time people say we can't have a bike lane in the flats so that people in the hills can drive out in an evacuation. If you really need to get out fast, walking and biking is the only way.

Every time I start a new woodworking project, it takes a long time to get going. I often delay, trying to make sure that I'm all set, the plan is good, etc. Whelp I'm starting off the next project with a bang and now that the dining room looks like this, the pressure is on.

Traveling in Calgary this week and it looks like the invasion is going well.

Can't these guys RETVRN to tradition and embrace their manliness in the ways that our fathers and our father's fathers did, by buying a table saw?

Can someone tell me what it means to be a private individual?

The Bay Area Jewish Community Relations Council is running a survey about feelings around anti-semitism. Overall, it's a misleading survey designed to produce one answer and one narrative. I'm going to share my thoughts. You can take the survey here: thepollingplace.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...
