On a much-needed Afternoon Walk, we stopped at a park under a jacaranda tree. Here’s one of the blossoms that fluttered its way to the ground.

Dear #Britbox subscribers in North America, now that #TheOtherBennetSister is available, how are they rolling out the 10 episodes? Is it one ep/week? First 5 episodes the first week? (Second 5 episodes 1-2 weeks later) I gotta plan my signup and binge accordingly.

The Chronicle was honored for revealing how companies drastically underpay wildfire survivors. Gabrielle Lurie and an investigation of for-profit psychiatric hospitals were named finalists.

Just so we’re clear: The Supreme Court claims anti-Black racism is over in order to allow racist state legislators to engineer the largest removal of Black Congresspersons in history. The Supreme Court is returning the United States to Jim Crow by claiming Jim Crow won’t return.

Ask Jeeves has officially shut down on May 1, 2026, ending its 25-year run

#CAinsuranceCommissioner A good candidate forum/roundtable/debate was held on the Three Homeless Guys podcast ( #PalisadesFire survivors) with Joy Chen from #EatonFire Survivors Network Lots of good ideas, a collegial setting. Forum had home insurance focus www.youtube.com/live/Jzq4EVC...

These three are clearly up to shenanigans. I can tell. I know what to look for.

This is Bella. She is taking an online biscuit-making class. Her technique is unconventional, but the results are flawless. 14/10 (TT: motherofsausages)

I feel this is probably quite important information. You wouldn't want to get it wrong.

Oof. Now is a good time to choose to close all social media apps. Either that or repost kitty cat and puppy dog posts. (I worked in the garden earlier today — oof! — so it’s a nap and a something else. Time to clean my fountain pens)

Lettuce that went to seed. (Marvel of Four Seasons Red butter Lettuce mmmmmm!!!!) Today I learned that when the lettuce acts all dandelion-like, the seeds are ready. Okay then! The plant is still there to produce more dandelion-like fluffball seed capsules, and I’ll pinch em off n save em 🌱

Unlike food influencers with big-brand deals and expensive ingredients, these creators destigmatize seeking support from food pantries, clipping coupons, and cooking frugal dinners.

This Is Just To Say I have turned off the AI features that were in the update and which you were probably hoping to monetize Fuck you they were stupid so unnecessary and so annoying

Weird that they would fire the navy secretary who’s been overseeing a war we’ve won at least five times.

What's it called when you take someone else's reporting, use a screen shot they obtained before the person took the post down, and then fail to credit the reporter? That is called stealing someone else's work. @michmf.bsky.social @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social Credit me. Do better.

Just got my #MetroBoard of Los Angeles metro map by @designrulesco.bsky.social (cmon, be more active on Bsky now!) So cool! www.kickstarter.com/projects/des...

Here's how we're taking over InfoWars.

So I see something about Apple and Tim Cook and for some reason I felt the need to look Tim Onion on here and that’s how I found out about the settled InfoWars website and IP transfer to The Onion. Now that I tap this out, I am unsure I can follow, much less believe, this turn of events.

For fuck's sake, sign up for The Onion, and get a free limited edition IW tote. A share of merch sales will go to the Sandy Hook families, which will be the first time they get any money since they filed this lawsuit eight years ago. Legal fees have been insane. Please sign up and help us out!

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars. We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director. Please stand by for more.

We all have days like this

Betty Yee drops out of the race for Californian Governor. (She’ll still appear on June ballot tho) I’m following the race, the events, etc., but not much to comment on it. (Thinking of a friend who supported and held a meet and greet + fundraiser for Ms. Yee; that’s a tough place to be.)

Support #HR5366! Re: Edison’s settlement offer to #EatonFire survivors in lieu of litigation: “But unless a bill [HR-5366] moving thru Congress becomes law, that money could be taxed as income, taking big bites out of their payments & possibly disqualifying them from other government benefits.”

When your recipe for shrimp scampi for 2 calls for cooking shells to extract extra flavor, but the shrimp is tail-shells-only 🍤 but! OMG! But! You’ve got a bunch of frozen shrimp shells in freezer that you saved for later, and then you produce them in the nick of time when all seems lost. Ha HA! 🦐

This thread. I have been doing this kind of work for a very long time and I know a lot about exactly this. If you want to do misconduct reporting with scared sources going up against very powerful people, and also keep your soul, it takes time. So much time. It’s very difficult. Brain meltingly so.

NASA women save stars. 🫶🏻💫

The other day I started a new notebook. Took a photo of the first words through a magnetic tripod attachment #fountainPen (alas the pen itself is not showing in this photo) #cursive

LOL, trying to stay offline and do my work, and friends are sending me "LOOK AT THIS NEW PIC!" texts .... This one is worth it. First PoC and first woman to go around another world. Don't stop talking about this point. It's important. #ArtemisII

A Culver City nonprofit announced it is donating three Victorian-era homes to two Altadena families whose properties were destroyed in the Eaton Fire, transporting the century-old structures from Los Angeles overnight to fire-cleared lots where they will be restored. pasadenanow.com/main/nonprof...

Shoutout to Saul Bass (I think it was) who designed the classic cord-and-plug logo for Southern California Edison back in the day. A later ceo came in and fancied himself a designer, result: ick. 😠 How it looked back in 1978. (Also trashing and purging papers should happen more often than this)

I nominate this word for The Most Awkward Word Ever Remunerate Here, I want to talk about paying you, but when I use this word, you’ll probably think the check is gonna bounce.

Packing up things from a different era, table linens, cloth napkins, damask linens, etc. And then I saw these Sup like an Egyptian! “All the old paintings on the tomb They do the sand dance, don't you know? If they move too quick (oh-way-oh) They're falling down like a domino”
