Why on earth are they soliciting the opinion of someone living in san ramon about bay area transit? Like you chose to live in a glorified parking lot with no transit lines, no shit the trains aren't convenient for you???

“Bongo” Ballpoint pen, pencil, watercolor, acrylic paint, and a little colored pencil.

Our man is in trouble this time, reader. Art supplies are scattered around a painting of an abstract cityscape. On the canvas we see a man in a telephone booth making a frantic call to his cat, Bongo. In the foreground, an answering machine is taking his voicemail, [Leave a message at the beep] --- “Bongo, Daddy got stuck in the painting. Go get help, Bongo.” Bongo stands at the base of the easel looking at the phone. Her tail in the air and ears perked up. Whether she’ll be able to help is open to interpretation.

Artist’s note: One of my favorites from the Spooky Pants book. I was playing around with the idea of a painting coming to life (like that guy in Ghostbusters 2) and kind of fumbled my way into this version. I really draw a lot of corded phones. I won’t stop.

You still shouldn't though? I love Wikipedia and it's right like 99% of the time, but it's ultimately just someone else summarizing other sources. For academic work, you still need to check those sources. Same goes for AI (which is wrong way more often than wikipedia btw)

NASA launches powerful Roman Space Telescope, a spy satellite turned to the stars
NASA began a new mission to probe some of the biggest mysteries in astrophysics and cosmology with the launch on Sunday of the U.S. space ​agency's new flagship astronomical observatory, a repurposed ...

god damn what an asshole

During Sunday's news conference, Isaacman took a call from President Donald Trump and ​put the phone speaker up to his microphone. Trump said the launch "looked beautiful on television."

"You are doing a fantastic job, and I'm supplying you all that money," Trump said, referring to NASA's approximately $24 billion 2026 budget, which survived an earlier ‌White House proposal ⁠to cut the agency's funding by about $6 billion.

Trump's administration tried during both his first and second terms as president to cancel Roman or reduce its funding, but Congress preserved it. Its launch came nine months ahead of schedule, according to NASA.

that liberals are just now discovering "castro apologia" means that apparently we have not been vocal enough about the fact that castro was good actually and was absolutely right in every confrontation he had with the US.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: an emo teenager is sitting with his family at a table in a casual restaurant. While his parents chat, he looks at another table solemnly. There is a dark aura emanating off him. Panel 2: a similar scene across the restaurant- an emo girl with her family; her little brother is absolutely housing a cheeseburger. She stares back at the guy across the restaurant, while also emitting a dark aura. Panel 3: the two teenagers eyes are locked on each other. In a shared thought bubble, which drowns out all the surrounding ambience, they imagine themselves as anthropomorphic wolves, embracing while they ride a motorcycle down a dark and lonely road through the black of night.

Wow. Proponents of the ICE taser gloves are openly saying that one reason they love the gloves is that they doesn’t leave any marks or proof that they were used, making it harder for people to sue when they’re shocked excessively.
Mother Jones

"In today's society, you know, everybody's filming everything, everybody has a cell phone," Glueck said. If an officer punches someone on camera, that can go viral in an instant; even a standard taser leaves puncture wounds. But "the glove is low optic, and it looks better on camera, and it looks better to those witnesses. With a glove, there are no burn marks or scars."But local police across the country are still eagerly buying the gloves—in large part so that they can harm people and avoid being sued for it. It's been successful "from the patrolmen to the jailers," Lumpkin County Sheriff Stacy Jarrard said in a Compliant Technologies promotional video. "It's been a great tool as far as mitigating liability," according to Nelson County Jailer Justin Hall.
Bob Couey of the Floyd County Sheriff's Department sung the GLOVE's praises, too: "I highly recommend these gloves to anybody that's looking for a utility they can use that is conducive to not leading to lawsuits."

Santa Fe city council voted to close its downtown plaza to cars for a few months and as you'd expect the opposition is being super normal about it
Ron Trujillo, a former city councilor and unsuccessful candidate in last year’s mayoral election who organized a petition opposing a 2020 proposal to close San Francisco Street to vehicle traffic, said closing the streets would create “unnecessary division” in the city.

“Where does this thinking end?” Trujillo asked. “Separate water fountains for pedestrians and bicyclists, and different ones for people who drive cars and ride motorcycles?”
