I just came here to post it. We aren’t going fast enough. Our moment is fleeting.

California has a palm tree problem LA planted thousands of palm trees before hosting the 1932 Olympics. Now they're approaching the end of their lifespans.

“Simply put, many of LA’s legendary palm trees are approaching the end of their lifespan. The question is: What comes next?”

And yet you didn’t

In 2025, San Diego Can't Look Away from the Screaming A few weeks ago, a man in the alley behind our house began screaming. Screaming is not unusual around us, unfortunately. But usually it comes and goes – less frequent […]

I wrote a commentary for the New Year. voiceofsandiego.org/2025/01/01/i...

very good

I think it's the throttling. I feel like for five years Twitter has just routinely insulted me as a power user.

fascinating that this appears to have more engagement than the one on X

Nah just like Encinitas they’d be stoked to fight it.

(But also, being neutral is not staying out of it. Being neutral is a position.)

Exactly. Perfectly fine approach as D1 rep. Inappropriate for a leader of the city who could shape this outcome. The city deserves leadership on core questions.

I suspect you tell your kids what you think and why you think it while encouraging them to think for themselves. We don’t need to pretend that being unwilling to do that is some master chess move.

So your theory is he’s against it and is unwilling to say that and he’s treating them like a parent would treat immature children but HE has a higher opinion of them than I do? 😂

Yeah nothing ever goes wrong in politics when you assume people will rationally come to the conclusion they’re wrong...He owes his constituents—now citywide—clarity about his position on things like “should the city exist as it is.” Being against it but unwilling to articulate why is disappointing.

Whatever credibility he has is lost on the other side as one of the two top leaders of the city as a whole. Hard not to question every move he makes as a citywide leader if he’s leaving open the possibility that it could or should happen.

It is one thing for the City Councilmember from the district that includes La Jolla to be open or even supportive of secession. But as a leader of the city, shouldn’t he be willing to say the city’s interests take priority?

To me, this is just as weird as if the city attorney did not have an opinion on whether the city attorney’s office should exist.

no

New San Diego City Council President @joelacava.bsky.social
is open to his neighborhood, La Jolla, seceding. He is not opposed to the push.

"La Jollans clearly need someone who will just give them objective answers to their questions. That’s the role I’m playing right now," he said today.

I don’t get it. Why run like he did if he’s just going to get caught with the gun and manifesto and IDs all there? Why not just stay at the scene? Just to drum up more interest?

Sure but they’d know exactly where it went. The surveillance state as it is can track anyone from there, camera to camera, and they can go back before the shooting from the Starbucks. He wants to be identified

Either some super clever murdering going on or a statement being made. Either way I want the story

UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Is Fatally Shot in New York City: Live Updates The executive, Brian Thompson, was shot in what the police described as a “brazen targeted attack” outside a hotel where the company was holding an investor meeting. The assailant was last spotted in ...

Kind of obsessing about this assassination of the UnitedHealthCare CEO. The gunman went to Starbucks and then did murder and then rode a CitiBike away? Hard to imagine what more he could have done to leave a better trail. www.nytimes.com/live/2024/12...

Schwarzenegger Commutes Esteban Nunez's Sentence Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has commuted the manslaughter sentence of Esteban Nunez, the son of former Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez.

FWIW I still think the grossest pardon/clemency was Schwarzenegger’s commutation of Fabian Nunez’s son after he killed Luis Santos at SDSU. “Considering Nunez's limited role in the killing…” www.cbsnews.com/sacramento/n...

If this place is just you two that may be enough.

That was well past my prime.

I haven’t watched a full NFL game until now this season. I was raised a Broncos fan. But I feel like these new unis look like the Chargers old dark blues too much from far away?

Here’s the deal, guys. I had a black belt in Twitter. I was a six sigma answerer of “What’s happening?” But they kept fucking with it and every time it felt worse and disrespectful to junkies like me. So I pulled way back. The idea of restarting here is exhausting.

They’re circling, waiting for space to land.

You could’ve credited our names without seeing the post. But how about we just give each other a break and recognize we had no ill intent with our omissions?
