Driving to SF today, my streaming music device served up "Return of the Grievous Angel". I said "That's Emmy Lou Harris 50 years ago." Now I'm listening to her do "Pancho and Lefty". How many more Emmy Lou shows am I ever going to get to see? Thanks, Warren.

In lines, there are square standers and side standers. My question to the side standers is: why are you?

Could have gotten both flu and COVID shots today, but only got one, not because I am a wimpy little baby, but because I am a wimpy little baby who wants to be able to go climbing tomorrow. (I'll go back next week for the second one. Kaiser makes it very easy.)

Former Trump supporter in media and/or politics? Opinion discarded. It's that easy and nothing of value will be lost. You helped create the dumbest stove-touching in living memory. Sit there and shut up while we try to clean up after you

Oh my God it's Jeff Rowland. I used to read his webcomics religiously. They're the source of phrases I still use all the time.

It is hilarious to me to hear someone driving down my street absolutely blasting music and then suddenly, just as loud: "AT THE STOP SIGN, TURN RIGHT ONTO SAN PABLO AVENUE"

The same person is in first place for climb volume at both gyms, and they've logged nearly twice as many sends as me. That's a lot of climbing. (They're also climbing up to V8s, and I am very much not doing that.)

Apparently over the past 365 days, I've logged the second most climbs on Kaya at both Berkeley Ironworks and Great Western Power Co. This is less about my climbing abilities (advanced beginner at best) and more about the fact that not enough people use Kaya, which is super helpful.

Please read @georgespies.bsky.social 's entire thread. Then, please: vote for me this November. I'm running to make buses work not just for those who are dependent on transit, but for everybody.

Direct hit. Might as well as have said "North Carolinian who moved to California and has tried most of his life not to sound so regional, but isn't fooling anybody."
Dialect quiz result:
You talk most like someone from North Carolina — about 54% of your answers match a typical resident.

The world of Logan's Run might have been onto something. We might quibble with the specific cutoff and the consequences, but there is a point at which maybe we should be done hearing from someone in public life.

Today is the 8th day of the school year for OUSD. It's been a slow start, at least for my 4th grader. But the school nurse just sent a whole-school message with the subject "Back to School Head Lice". Now we're cooking.

That is what you hear a newsreader saying in the background of a scene about 15 minutes into the pandemic disaster movie, while a primary character does something like explain to their family that they just need to stay a bit late at work tonight to keep an eye on "a little situation".
