I cannot stop thinking of all the amazing and wonderful people I have known from Israel, Iran, Lebanon and other countries caught up in this war. It is people just like them who are being killed and harmed here.

Every second of free time you have ever had in your life was subsidized by the existence of the combine harvester.

A leftist who did activism while I was in grad school would be like:

"I believe we should overthrow capitalism and no housing should be for-profit. But we need new homes in Davis so I am personally Neutral on approving the apartment complex"

Unfortunately, I do see a dog or two off-leash in South Natomas a day. It's very frustrating and I have had to call 311 multiple times due to off-leash dogs running after my dog and me on leash.

I am not even sure why this should be listed as a pilot program and not implemented permanently ASAP.

A a huge region of bright orange and red colors (depicting extremely high warm temperature anomalies) is centered right in the middle of the map, and covers essentially the entire region.

Lots of buzz online about an upcoming major March heatwave for the American SW & California. And in this case, it does indeed appear increasingly likely than an extremely anomalous and even record-breaking heatwave may envelop much of the SW about a week from now.

Wishing I didnt have to commute by car daily even more since Saturday for some reason

It’s 2026. The World Cup is in North America. The top flight league has so drastically cut its own media presence and has a fully paywalled broadcast that’s effectively made it invisible to casual soccer fans. Second tier league is openly trying to bust a union.

My teams opening day is tomorrow
