Democrats gave us a soft landing from a worldwide recession and the best performing economy in the world, among other things, and they were voted out. Is that what they deserve shame for? Delivering as much as could be hoped despite only having a majority for 2 years? That?

I was working for classes at UCB years ago when Walter Koenig hosted asssscat, he told some amazing (supposedly true) stories on stage that night, too amazing, and I asked him (respectfully) “were those stories true?” And he laughed and said, “No, of course not” which was pretty awesome.

Gravel bike I bought a few years ago is a little too big, REI had this on sale so I took a shot and ordered it, today I took the bus there to pick it up and rode it back about 20 miles. For a “bargain” model it’s sweet. Shimano Cues is great stuff if a little heavy.

Whaaaaaaat??

This is a nice bus stop. I like the digital next arrival thing.

Is anyone aware that we got to vote for Armen Tamzarian here in mid SoCal?

Some lizards in New Guinea have green blood. Ergo, Vulcans are lizards.

“I have people skills!!!”

Everyone with half a brain clocked this as a scam on day 1.

I think Bjork in the 90s has to be in the top 10 of cutest things that have ever been. (Why did they have that trumpet/rapper guy?)

I don’t Airbnb and I don’t uber. Why? People are awful. I don’t want to sleep in some jerk’s house, I don’t want a ride in some jerk’s car. I want my room owned by a corporation beholden to various laws and afraid of lawsuits, and if I’m desperate enough to hire a car I want govt scrutiny.

Martin Mull documentary on Netflix is great. Recommend.

This guy was caught on video committing one of the worst road rage incidents I've ever seen, plowing into a group of riders—and then he left the scene. Seriously, fuck the Atlanta Journal-Constitution for framing him as some sort of a victim. You are complicit assholes. www.ajc.com/news/2026/10...

Red light cameras are a tool of the carceral state and will harm the working class though, right? It’s amazing how things become NBD when it’s someone you aren’t polarized against is doing it. Talked to friends this weekend who hate Schumer bc he chatted w/ Trump but think Mamdani + Trump is fine. 🙄

I’m a CEQA practitioner and voted no. It’s just kind of a mess and is a bad way to go about CEQA reform. It basically just fast tracks review for certain categories of project and the categories are too broad. Fast track greenfield sfh housing? Please. Fast track new roads? GMAFB.

My very callous opinion is if you bought a house on the beach within the last 15 years you knew the risk and deserve nothing from the govt when disaster strikes. If you bought earlier and didn’t unload your doomed property to some sucker before disaster struck… nothing more than assessor, certainly.

LA city hall is a cursed place, like 99% of cities in CA. Raman sucks but I’d vote for her if I still lived there bc Bass suuuuucks. I’m only familiar with about half the council, whom suck, and can’t imagine the other half is any better. But the thing is: They represent their constituents very well

I would prefer my solution wherein the music playing device is smashed and the user is slapped until they cry, and then you pull down their pants and physically kick them off the train or bus.

You won’t make me learn who the Earles are. You can’t make me. I will die not knowing who these vapid faces being shoved in my face every day are, this I swear to you, media landscape.

i think if you want to make the world better you have to start by understanding it, and that means--to be blunt--fucking charts, because large data sets and careful studies are one of the ways you escape the mind-prison known as "my gut tells me this is true, shut the fuck up"

Yup. And every American who could vote and didn’t vote for Harris chose this.

Bass is a terrible mayor because she knows exactly who butters her bread, namely NIMBYs, wealthier single family homeowners, and cranky business owners and rich people. She’s saying precisely what they want to hear re: bike lanes.

And that's the problem. Republicans are treated like that kid who gets 70s on exams. They're rewarded for passing, given every benefit of the doubt, and never expected to improve. Democrats meanwhile are treated like that kid who gets a 94 on every exam, and scolded for losing those 6 points.

Hokum is a very good movie. Watch Hokum.

This is kind of a litmus test for whether or not you should ever open your mouth about politics or government. If you think ignoring the rule of law was the way Biden should have gone you truly do not understand what this nation is supposed to be about and might as well move elsewhere.

Slow Horses is too damn good. It’s painfully good. Damn what a good show.

I will never forgive anyone that did anything other than vote for Kamala Harris in November of 2024. I don’t care about the bs reasons they’re trying to push because she was always the better choice. Once again…folks should have concentrated on HERE. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Jack has the brain of a goldfish that suffered a head injury. ‘Why not try something different?’ is the calling card for people who should be sent to their own island.

This is remarkably vile. Completely made up racist nonsense inserted into a book about punctuation. The author of this book is a piece of shit and I wouldn’t trust anything she wrote.

1: bicycle. 2: e-bicycle. 3: little electric motorcycle you can easily mod to go 50mph. 1 or 2 gives a teenager precisely as much freedom as 3 and are also much safer for everyone involved. These things are not “last mile” transit solutions or anything like that, they’re just little motorcycles.

It is incredibly gratifying to read an account of extreme competence in the White House. The fact that whenever we have a competent executive we find ways to tear them down speaks to what a bunch of spoiled children we are as a nation.

I tell you, the people who made I/P their entire personality after October 7, 2023, are some of the dumbest, least intellectually curious people alive (on both sides, naturally - it's the great tradition of this conflict). It's proud ignorance, myopia, and incuriosity. It's been wildly destructive.

King shit. t.co/0kwtLSmVJL

From 34.9 to 50.4. This is why everyone who doesn’t support and vote for democrats in every election can go to hell. Climate change is the most important issue on the planet. About 18% of all US ghg emissions are from you driving your car, the 3rd largest direct source of emissions. This is terrible

Just cause The NY Times says it doesn’t make it true. From Judith Miller to this. I have never had any desire to watch breaking bad, but that’s me.

This is fantastic. You want someone besides the media to blame for 2024? Look to this incompetent toady.

The only thing I want from AI is the ability to scream: “NO I DON’T WANT THIS PASTED TEXT TO BE IN A DIFFERENT FORMAT FROM THE DOCUMENT IT CAME FROM OR THE ONE I PASTED IT INTO, YOU IDIOT!” at Microsoft Word and have it learn its lesson.

We have an Epilobuim Canum Canum and a low-growing version of Eriogonum Fasciculatum in front of our house and they’re growing together really beautifully. Can’t really capture in a photo but it’s just so awesome.
