Heads up: it's gonna rain like crazy in Southern California for the next few days, and everyone you know who lives here is gonna be insufferable about it.

A fun way to get through it is with a bingo card. Two things to get you started: "We need this" and "NOBODY KNOWS HOW TO DRIVE IN THE RAIN."

Remember the immigration raid on the apartment complex in Chicago almost two months ago? The one with the Black Hawk helicopter and federal agents rappelling on ropes? @ProPublica decided to take a deeper look. We found little evidence to support the government’s claims. 🧵

You know me, I’ve always got one foot out the door. But I’ve given myself until the end of the school year to decide.

I keep having earthquake dreams. Maybe it’s a portent sent by some forgotten gods to warn me before “the big one”, or maybe it’s just my anxiety about deciding if I’m going to leave CA or not.

two corgis are in formation on a wooden deck. the older one stands in the background and looks directly at the camera, while his little sister sits in the foreground and looks out of frame with a skeptical glance, one eye squinting closed and the other furrowed slightly in concern.

the corgi duo is still on their deck. this time, the little corgi pup in the front is looking more at the photographer, but her big brother in the background is now looking over his shoulder at whatever it was that had previously caught her eye. he has a matching expression, with his right eye squinting and his left eye examining the offending target judgmentally.

This is Pancho and Lupe. Some siblings have the same nose or ears. Pancho and Lupe have the same side eye. 13/10 for both (IG: panchocorgi)

So which Fred Durst is everyone today?

my heart wants a beautiful, neatly arranged home like the ones featured in architectural digest. but my spirit wants to adopt as many cats and dogs as my living space humanely allows. very difficult dilemma.

One small joy for me; I love living near a port and hearing fog horns in the distance on dreary mornings.

Must be something in the air. I listened to Them Crooked Vultures and Desert Sessions on the way to work.

This album only comes out when something major in my life is ending. It’s too much otherwise.

The fallacy of AI is the idea that “everyone is a potential user” rather than narrowly defining a market to build your tools for. It requires endless capital investment because you’re targeting billions of imaginary users who largely have no idea what your product is or why they should use it.

did you know the Mountain Goats have a new album out today and you can buy it or stream it and dance to it in your living room or while driving or on the subway and it's a whole vibe? well now you know that 30tgrs.ffm.to/ttfafpb

I miss Chicago a lot but one thing I don’t miss is the absolute heart attack inducing clangs from my old radiators this time of year. Shit would scare me wide awake at 2am.

the fact that Sandwich Guy is facing this 'wich trial at all is evidence of subpar justice. he is a hero being put through the judicial grinder. i hope the jury wraps up a not guilty verdict without delay or loafing around

I used to just be sad. Now I’m sad and I own an unusual amount of branded butt plugs.

It feels like we have so little power over our lives in the face of billionaires and increasingly oppressive systems we have to engage in just to survive, that even seeing a little hope is worth celebrating.

My dad when I got tattoos: now you won’t get a job.

Me: why would I want to work somewhere that judges me by my tattoos?

Don't Try Not To Give Up Hope, by Dick Cheney's Dick 10 track album

The only Dick Cheney content worth recognizing dickcheneysdick.bandcamp.com/album/dont-t...

a small corgi with huge ears stands in front of a kitchen. he is wearing a snail costume with a concerned look on his face

This is Rufus. His Halloween costume arrived late. Really wants to escargot trick-or-treating if you don’t mind turning on your porch light. 13/10 (IG: rufuscorg)

You were literally the only reason I'd read articles on Teen Vogue. I hope you find a good place for your work to continue.

My biggest failure in life is not making the kinds of friends who post on apps like this and instead have friends who repost things from this app to another app.

I love that Philly bands will always have a member who is a sports nut and they will talk shit on a cities team even as they’re winning the championship.

Listening to baseball on AM radio, like god intended.

The blue jays fielding is crazy. This World Series has been crazy.

Taco John’s is the greatest.

Thanksgiving 🍗 (minus the whole stealing native land thing.) the only expectation is to show up with a side dish or pie and eat and watch sports while in a coma.

When you win the looks lottery and still need to rob a museum.
