I live in Chicago and this shit is real.

It isn't a gimmick. It isn't an improv show.

Please pay attention to what's happening here because you do NOT want any of this coming to where you are.

As a rule thumb, always expect Trump to make the worst possible decision with the worst possible outcomes and you will never go wrong in your predictions.

At least she doesn't have monstrosities like these sitting in her closet. That thing looks like turkey feathers glued to a fan blade.

This is not normal. A sitting president refusing to call the governor of a state after two elected officials were shot, one fatally, is beyond words. A typical president, regardless of politics, would pick up the phone. Offer condolences.

The cashier was babbling about needing to scan additional code in the app on my phone even after punching in my phone number. WTH? Apparently it was happening to everyone buying that cheese today.

If you shop at Safeway and use their app to clip their coupons, watch the register closely when you're checking out. They charged me full price on two items that I clipped the coupons for (Lucerne Shredded Cheese and Nestle Drumsticks) and I punched in my number as usual.

I don't love that they have that pipeline running alongside multiple schools and residential neighborhoods. I've lived in Walnut Creek long enough that I remember the pipeline explosion in 2004, that happened because of Kinder Morgan's inaccurate maps...

Except it's not just KM that has to "deal with it" if construction of the infrastructure for light rail damages that pipeline.

Running a light rail line down the 680 corridor would probably make more sense than using the Iron Horse trail for that, especially with that Kinder Morgan pipeline basically living alongside that trail for large portions of it.

She’s originally from West Virginia.

This made me laugh for a completely different reason. I'm originally from a part of CA where finding a bear at your front door isn't such a surprising thing. πŸ˜‚

Like no one taught him how to really be a human.

He always seems so awkward, with and without Kitty... Like 3 rabid racoons under a mask and a trench coat.

W&K's candid photos always look so awkward.

Looks like she's about to push him off the side of whatever they're standing on...

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

The two intersections with signals closest to those parcels y'all want to plop 12 houses into already get heavy every time there is a shift change at Kaiser, every time parents are dropping kids off/picking them up at school or when there's an accident on the freeway.

That's not a middle school. That's a K-8 school that has students attending from outside the immediate neighborhood. The elementary school next to it also serves more than the immediate neighborhood around it.

Nevermind Kaiser, a mall and a high school already making traffic a mess there.

It seems like a really dumb idea to build a bunch of houses into a neighborhood whose infrastructure can't really support it.

Developers only listen to their bottom line.

Putting 12 homes in that spot would be insane. Newell Ave at that point is one lane in either direction and couldn't handle the increased traffic.

I tripped while trying to put my pants on today. My big toe is turning interesting colors. Good thing my mom didn't name be Grace, because I'm definitely not graceful. πŸ˜‚

Hey, not going to get any Pearl clutching from over here over. Sometimes it’s appropriate.

I just blocked her too.

Dunno. I muted her.

Be = please don't be someone

My thoughts exactly. Be don't be someone that will make the entire world slide back a couple of centuries.
