I went to the MS office home page on a new work computer and it's mainly copilot, and you need to look for all the other apps. So now more clicks and searching the page to get to what I need.

When I was 21, a man followed me out of a parking garage. When we stopped waiting to cross the street, he asked my age. His response? 'you looked 17' and walked back to the parking garage.

Even before I became vegetarian, I hated poultry, because it's dry and not great as a meat.

They do teach a lot of math in preschool now (thanks common core!), but being able to be in a class social-emotionally is super important for literally the rest of your life.

I am pretty informed and even I hadn't realized Mamdani hadn't said globalize the intifada. Thanks for the episode!

Went to the Goo Goo Dolls tour a couple months ago and they literally bopped black balloons into the crowd for this song

People tack on a lot to the SF School Board recalls in 2021, but the instigating factor was the change from testing to lottery admissions to the elite public high school in SF.

Love how non-Jews, especially non-Jews who peddle antisemitic conspiracies, tell actual Jews what a good Jew should be.

History never sees a problem with that!

Sea Otters Are Stealing Surfboards in California. Again.

Otters are back to stealing surfboards in Santa Cruz, which is just cute if slightly evil, but evil done by otters

It's definitely a question of judgment. Nearly 20 or even just weeks of ignoring the Nazi symbol on your chest is not procrastination, that is poor judgement. Platner just might not have the judgment to be a senator!

Guy in private plane doesn’t like that he has to hire more security to address his personal concerns about crime so he is happy to have the president push guardsmen into the city at taxpayer expense.

the question to ask the republican majority on the court is “what CAN’T trump do?”

Wasn't another superintendent in VT or NH detained coming back into the country and CBP kept trying to get the credentials to his work devices?

Judith Butler is being targeted by the US government. We must stand up | Joel Swanson What is happening to Judith Butler – a Jewish intellectual – in the name of fighting ‘antisemitism’ is outrageous

I wrote about the Red Scare of the 1950's as a moment when establishment Jewish organizations threw the historically large Jewish left under the bus in the name of respectability politics, and how they're making the same calculation today. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I feel like I should be concerned that I never have a strong reaction. I got my COVID and flu shots a week ago, and my arm was a little sore the next day.

New: Sarah MacLachlan, Jewel, and more musicians scheduled to perform at tonight's premiere for Hulu's ABC News doc LILITH FAIR have all pulled out after Disney scrapped the red carpet. First notable talent consequence of the Jimmy Kimmel situation.

Massive Bay Area transit cuts likely as Newsom backtracks on $750M loan, lawmakers say Bay Area lawmakers and transit advocates say Gov. Gavin Newsom’s reneging on a critical $750 million loan will have devastating consequences for BART, Muni and other agencies in the region.

If Newsom goes back on his promise here it may end up being one of the defining moments of his time as governor. Just an unmitigated disaster. www.sfchronicle.com/politics/art...

The reason why the FP sold for so much — relative to its small output — is because it has a world view that is embraced by a readership of very wealthy people. Weiss isn't anti-establishment. She comforts the comfortable.

I know political memories are short, but damn! In July, Schiff joined Republicans to pass the industry-friendly crypto bill that allowed Trump to take in more crypto bribes.

Trump, in a Move With Little Precedent, Says He Is Firing a Fed Governor

It's important to understand that he singles out Black women because there are few negative consequences for him when he does. It's his most frictionless lane for bullying.

The broader public has shown him few, if any, will step up to defend us, and it's only ramped up since his first term.

Ultimately, it would be far more useful for Nichols and other never Trumpers to help us inoculate US society from R messaging rather than attack the everyday people and activists who use this kind of language. I'm sure they could help, but they want Dems to be more like Rs instead.

I thought scolding people about what language they use was part of the problem?
