Foul-mouthed, old woman on a bicycle. My life has been wrecked by DOGE but redeemed by DOGS. Re-skeets may be an endorsement...I don't know...I can't be held responsible for all this!!

This is really, really cool. The URL *is* the document. So you can effectively do word processing in your browser... without it leaving your computer. Or... you can send it to others *in the URL*. This is really fantastic.

I was at a stoplight coming home from work Friday listening to this absolute shit take and yelled "fuck ALL the way off" so loud that the guy in the lane next to me looked a little scared.

Hey @oaklandside.org ...did you know that the Coliseum told BART riders they could not take the ramp right after the game tonight, and even directed transit users to walk down to the FREEWAY to get around the stadium to the bart station? because of fireworks...

SO sad/MAD. The final O.Co #Roots game was a blast, but when we left right after, we were told the bridge to BART is closed bc of effin' fireworks. That if we want to get to the bart station we have to take an UBER FROM THE PARKING LOT! 🤬 way to fuck your locals over Roots. Never seen such bs.

I would never out a neighbor for circumventing our city's notoriously byzantine building-permit process just to keep one of our 100 yo houses from crumbling...but now there's a flipper nextdoor turning a house inside out. I haven't seen hide nor hair of a permit & I kinda want to report.

You are of course entitled to your opinion, and I am sure you have solid reasoning for finding it so. I just could not find any reason to keep watching after Ep 3...felt like it kept missing the chance to say something really interesting.

What does a sniper position at Memorial Circle actually defend against? Not China. Not a submarine. Not a missile. It overlooks a bridge, a traffic circle, and the front door of the National Mall. Those are places where Americans march. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Do common household objects make for good chew toys? Our investigative team put this tea strainer to the test to see if it offers as much fun as the enormous basket of toys that any dog should be completely satisfied with. Follow here to find out their verdict!
A small metal tea strainer that is oddly misshapen and kind of looks like it has been used for dental imprints for a set of canine teeth

Wow...what impressive reporting on a thing that didn't really happen but is being used to turn J.D. into THE guy for 2028 with the passive complicity of the paper of record. Get fucked NYT
Headline from 9/10 New York Times: "Behind the Scenes, JD Vance Gathered Unvarnished Views of the Iran War. The vice president received sobering assessments about the war that did not line up with what he, the president and other top officials were saying publicly."

Hi I'm EH from Berkeley, former ed policy person now teacher. Lately I am obsessed with the drum line and vocal shift in Generals and Majors by XTC where it goes from upbeat and martial to sardonic deadpan growl at "generals and majors always seem so unhappy unless they got a war." Arfing brilliant

When I take my ebike to get groceries, I consider my purchases more carefully which results in less food waste. So, besides the reduction in carbon emissions for the journey, there's a secondary reduction in methane. So gfy all Hopkins bike lane haters.

I don't really get how that works... I live in the hills and I don't encounter Hopkins until the intersection of Monterey and Hopkins...PAST most shops except for MM. One has to go out of their way to travel west on Hopkins from Arlington before the Monterey intersection.

When do you think we will past the use of contemporary pop-style soundtracks as interstitial or montage overlays in period dramas? Because that shit is très annoying.

The regime is paying local law enforcement 5 figure bounties to kidnap kids from our communities. Kids whose parents or caregivers they already abducted. They're building these concentration camps - that's the term for sites holding civilians without due process - to torture then traffic kids.

A Republican listens to this, decides "Jeffries is not that bad I guess", and then... votes for the Republican. Meanwhile, the Democrat wonders why he should support a candidate whose declared enemy is other dems, rather than repubs. Pandering to the center caused the dems to lose to a rapist.

Vital to tell the truth of horrors to have any hope of confronting them. We will never convince majority of Americans we must close "detention facilities," which sound reasonable to many, let alone marshal collective action to do so.
