Thank you for including a female in a photo. My dad is obsessively into birding and used to refer to my little sister as a hooded merganser when she was a toddler and her hair was… like that. But I’d only ever noticed the males with hoods! One of my childhood mysteries is solved.

Congratulations to the teachers and paras!!! And a huge thank you to the principals, admins, custodians, and other staff whose sympathy strike put added pressure on the district.

That sucks! It shouldn’t be that way

I left teaching because I couldn’t figure out how to do it and afford housing in SF. SFUSD paid way less than neighboring districts despite being in a more expensive city.

Pay teachers more! So many have already left due to low pay and the SFUSD payroll fuckup that caused missed paychecks.

Did you know that you can join the picket? It’s led by UESF and SEIU, but you can show up at a school site and they’ll give you a sign. I joined for about an hour on my way to work.

This is also how I feel about reviewing LLM-written code that the author did not carefully validate

it’s what a rebutler does

I grew up riding around with a machete in the car. Not loose! In a shoebox on the floor, for fighting back when the forest tries to reclaim the path. Nobody ever let me hold the machete :((((((

You’re looking at a bill from the 2023-2024 legislative cycle—the numbering starts over every 2 years. I changed the years in the URL to 2025-2026 and found it: leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNa...

You Could Have Prevented This Happening To You If You Weren’t Such A Bad Person Data breaches. Sure. Let’s go with that.

I'm mad.

My wife has just promised to include “Survived by her wife and past lovers of all genders” in my obit

If you are ever in Seattle, Skalka’s entire menu is khachapuris and I loved it. I can’t judge authenticity but it tasted so good

My library subscribes to newspapers, journals, and magazines that you can read online if you log in with your library card number. If my card was deactivated, I wonder if I’d lose access to those

The only things that have worked for me are (a) scheduling a regular time with another person and (b) having a show that I only allow myself to watch on my phone from the elliptical at the gym. I hope you find a strategy that works for you!

I can’t remember which night I went to. Guess it’s time to hit up setlist.fm

That sounds about right. There was more than one show in a row, and I went to one of them. Did you also go?

Extra thanks to the bartender who got me stuff from the kitchen after it closed when my blood sugar got too low during a Xiu Xiu set in 2004. I was bad at being an adult, and she helped me get through.

This is so sad! I saw so many great shows here, and I didn't realize how few non-LiveNation/Ticketmaster venues are left in SF.

Actual al pastor

This is obviously satire. The website has a link to contact your legislator about regulating AI (under “Complaints”). Good for the press contact for giving a name that will get people to look up a real person, but this is clearly not a real company.

I don’t think there’s room in our marriage for all the people who wish misery on those particular shitty people

Jess figured it out! The baker probably used old (or too much) nutmeg, which can taste soapy. That plus some citrus in the icing put me right back at my parents’ kitchen sink, washing up with lemon Joy dish soap.

I immediately asked my wife if she wanted a taste because it was too weird not to share

I just ate a cookie that tasted just like doing dishes at my parents’ house
