California Divided: Here’s What’s at Stake for Californians Whose Districts Could Get Rewritten by Proposition 50 | KQED Journalists at public radio stations across California spoke with residents, business leaders and politicos in each of the districts that could flip under Proposition 50.

Hey California have you mailed in your ballot yet/do you know where your polling place is for Tuesday? Now sure whether/where you're registered to vote? Thread below has info on how to find your polling place and how to cast a provisional ballot! (Also, Yes on 50.)

Here's the California Secretary of State's guide to finding polling places. FYI, if you haven't mailed your ballot in, or spoiled your ballot, you can bring it to a polling place! Your city may also have a dedicated ballot drop box which I recommend over the PO since we're so close to election day.

Café. From my table I looked across the room—autumn chill meets warm honeyed light—& saw a guy in a navy blue hoodie & immediately knew he would be the type to taste something you had made him & would say, “Needs salt.”

He's building a gold-guilded ballroom to host the foreign officials who come to bribe him, while denying millions of hungry kids food. Just how thuddingly obvious, how over-the-top, how florid & theatrical does this story have to get before the media starts honestly telling it?

Enjoying the scents & flavors of the season by sprinkling crisp autumn leaves into the pot as I’m making rice crispy treats.

If you want to push back against tech's encroachment into every corner of our lives, you have to read books. They're eager to create a future in which most people are illiterate and hooked on slop, a world without imagination or knowledge. Reading is resistance.

Weird little door I’ve never noticed before on the opposite side of my pillow opens into a marvelous, wildly complex Brutalist landscape

Science often feels like the closest thing we have to magic.

Where the red fern grows? Not here. That’s sumac.

I’ve been reposting all of the crowd videos of today’s NO KINGS rallies because at some point they’ll try to say it didn’t happen.

Shout out to the top 5 kings in the world, Martin Luther, Larry, Don, Stephen and Americans don't have a motherfuckin'.

Do you love me, now that I can dance? I've been going back and asking this of all my big unrequited situations and the overwhelming response was [free jazz]

Wonder what hot plastic box silently leaches more chemicals into your dinner. Microwave or air fryer?
