My favorite reaction to news this week

Indian and Jewish moms watching the news together:
“He saved the plane”
“He saved the pilot“
Both: “and still not married“

Checked back this weekend, and I was served this collection of ads in one day. Grabbed the screenshots and stopped scrolling. Time to go outside...

From a related conversation on another platform

Text from a parent involved in the school band: the board is policing the rehearsals and performance to ensure it won’t be played

Every time I see folks complaining that CA's gasoline taxes are high, I'm reminded that CA is pennies above other states — 40¢ above the US average — yet this pays for the bulk of our state's road infrastructure. Conversely, more per gallon is simply kept as profit by the companies which sell gas

Chevron & their shareholders kept over 91¢ profit from every gallon of gas they sold in 2025. Contact congress about ending corporate welfare for oil compaines

Dropped off the radar this week, but still popular... www.cbsnews.com/news/delayed...

Does it bother anyone else that we tell school children that their busses are painted yellow, and that the lines on the road are yellow — yet clearly that color (and that of an orange) is halfway between full yellow and orange? Any wonder folks feel they’ve been gaslit their whole lives…

School bus, oranges, and “yellow” road paint, all the same color

CA often gets blamed for high taxes as a driving factor (pun!) in gas prices, so here's a fun game... these photos were all taken today, on the same trip along the north end of (tourist-priced) Lake Tahoe (TC to IV): guess which are in CA and which in NV. Hint: CA gas tax is ~47¢ higher than NV

Photos of gas price signs in CA and NV along the north shore of Lake Tahoe. Prices range from $4.40 to $6.76

A reminder: librarians remain on the front lines against religious militants trying to force everyone to align to their religious views — think Iran, but Christian. PJI is mobilizing it's army of puritans, and we're going to need to work to keep school libraries open to all

Call from Pacific Justice Institute, encouraging its followers to purge school libraries of books which don't align with their interpretation of the bible, and how to advocate for "Biblically aligned books"

Updated signs for Chevron's gas stations. They're running a PR campaign to convince Californians that the high price of gas is the result of CA taxes. At 68¢/gal, CA pays only 48¢ more than TX. Most is in the cost of production, delivery, and oh yeah... profit. amp.sacbee.com/opinion/arti...

Hey, a car company offering actual help: free public charging, replacement home equipment, deferred payments, & purchase discounts, to those affected by Southern CA's wildfires. A far cry from another car company's CEO, who spends his time blaming firefighters & environmentalists for the blaze

Message from Ford Motor Co, offering free public charging and other financial help to those affected by wildfires in Southern California

After the debunk he points out what may be at the root of misinformation-spread today: we put good journalism and valid scientific research is behind paywalls, but let random opinion share the internet for free. Is it any wonder that truth travels slower than fiction? youtu.be/jijuG9tyoR0

If you want common knowledge to be true, you have to let true knowledge be common
