1984 color photo looking up at Jesse Jackson raising his arms and smiling. He's outdoors in front of an array of microphones, and other poeple and a tree are visible behind him.
My Jesse Jackson story. During the 1984 campaign, he visited the Oakland Tribune, where I worked. Word got out. 13th Street filled up with people. When he walked out, they roared. He stepped up onto the bumpers of two parked cars and shouted his campaign speech.
It was electrifying.
The nice commercial about helping kids find their lost pets was the scariest thing I've seen in my life

“If I’m here at Super Bowl LX, it’s because I never stopped believing in myself. You should never stop believing in yourself either. It’s worth more than you think.” —Bad Bunny

Silhouette of the lit, decorated, live Christmas tree.
I rent a live Christmas tree. I can even rent the same one year after year, but my ceiling won’t accommodate growth. I’m in the Bay Area, not sure where else this is possible. The photo is this year’s Nordmann Fir.

Happy New Year to you and yours, Jeff! I hope your Christmas was wonderful!!

This episode sparked a dive into Maria Ressa, the Nobel Laureate and journalist targeted by Duterte.
From what I've heard in this interview, she has crystal clarity about how autocrats have exploited technology and the law to dismantle public sensemaking.

Unfortunately, Glorioso's is closed due to fire - or at least it was last week when I went there. And we ran into a guy who also didn't know they were closed and he was so bummed he couldn't get his lasagna! Hope they open soon!

The exact message and composition of Mamdani’s campaign won’t work everywhere (for starters not all worthy politicians have Olympic-level charisma).
Still, this interview with his campaign leaders is well worth listening to if you are in, or cover, politics: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/o...

Taylor's English Breakfast is the strongest I've had. But Bewley's Gold comes close! Last but definitely not least (and @joanwalsh.bsky.social can attest), The Chai Box "All Chai'd Up" is by far the strongest of them all, but it's chai.
