Dude! You just prompted me to look up Mehldau's tour so now I'm going to see him and Christian McBride in San Francisco in a couple of months thank you thank you thank you
Holy shit. Thanks for the tip!
“Did you make this?” they ask in disbelief as I ascend into heaven
Brazil applies visa policies for different countries' citizens that are based on what those countries apply to Brazilian citizens (I misspoke about it being constitutional principle though): www.gov.br/mre/pt-br/co...
What's worse is that these puff pieces didn't even engage with the book on its own terms, which is that poor people and their "culture of poverty" are to blame for their lot in life. How did this guy manage to claim the populist mantle having written a book oozing in contempt for the poor?
I’d read it man
The federal government arrested a US citizen in Sacramento trying to going to work because he has brown skin.
What's going on with my Twi'leks and, in some cases, Gungans?
I’m pretty sure the 11¢/kWh rate is *before* the 2¢ EV charging discount so it’s actually 9¢ overnight. Bananas.
The entire premise of the vice president’s book was applying discredited “culture of poverty” scholarship (previously used to pathologize African Americans) to explain the failings of poor white people. They even turned it into a Netflix movie!
Since 2023, SMUD has given me rebates covering half the cost of an induction stove, paid the full cost of a heat pump water heater, and covered about 60% of the cost to upgrade my panel to make my house EV ready. I also pay literally 1/9 the rate per kWh that PG&E customers pay. It’s amazing.
Statler looks just our Harvey (who we sadly said goodbye to a few weeks ago)
10/10. No notes.
Guilherme Lemes Cardoso E Silva, an artist known for painting murals across the Bay Area, was taken into custody by ICE agents. His wife is now pleading for his release before their baby is born.
LADOT runs a pilot program for South Central residents out of a locally owned bike shop in Leimert Park funded through a State grant (full disclosure, I used to run that grant program). It's such a great idea: laincubator.org/southcentral...
This is several clicks down. Seems like a bigger deal than so BS about our previous president!
So he could *get booed mercilessly* at a soccer game bsky.app/profile/folh...
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz after touring "Alligator Alcatraz": "These detainees are living in cages. The pictures you've seen don't do it just. They are essentially packed into cages. 34 detainees per cage...they get their drinking water & they brush their teeth where they poop, in the same unit"
I can’t bring myself to watch it but curious if he, the principled anti-interventionist, supports Trump use of a trade war against Brazil in defense of his fellow coup orchestrator
How else would you break the fast you’ve been on since afternoon snack?
One underrated aspect of Trump’s deranged letter announcing the 50% tariffs on Brazil is that he’s putting the bootlickers seeking to replace Bolsonaro as the leaders of the “patriota” right in a real bind
*Anita* Garibaldi
This would be the biggest scandal of every non-Trump Presidency, including Nixon’s.
It’s so easy to support a project that can never be built
We are in new territory with Trump’s latest trade letter, threatening a 50% tariff on imports from Brazil starting Aug. 1
—The US runs a rare trade surplus with Brazil, so there’s no deficit to fix
—Trump says these duties are explicitly over political concerns, not economic ones
This piece is terrible, lazy, and uses the same bad faith nimby arguments that have indeed slowed needed infill housing production in CA for decades. Advocates for CEQA reform aren’t just “neoliberal” Atlantic writers. Just take a look at the organizations sponsoring these bills.
They VAR’d a presidential election, with predictable results
It’s absolutely brutal in soccer, where the beauty of the game relies on flow and only a couple of high leverage moments that are robbed of their spontaneity through endless VAR review
I’d watch the hell out of this series
