san diego this morning at ocean beach

lifeguard station #5 that straddles the jetty separating the beach (not visible) on the left from the dog beach on the right. in the foreground is a huge trough of water, with the surf behind. the water typically does not come in further than the lifeguard towers location. it is about 1/2 hour past local high tide

view is of the jetty at ocean beach’s dog beach (san diego). waves are rolling in from right to left and for a nice sunny day the water is running really high

along the san diego river (the open ocean is behind the camera pov about 1/8 a mile back). where this view would normally be a sandy beach with the river on the left, we now see that it’s completely covering the sand. the dog in the center of the picture can’t figure out where her beach is

back at the lifeguard tower with a much better view of the flooding. there’s a few people with their dogs at the center. the water was knee deep in places

original image, instead of the ai-tarted up one (really didn’t need tarting)

same image in OP’s post, of mirror-uhura on the bridge leaning back against a rail with a red gold-sash trimmed skirt and a red halter top, with normally styled hair and a normal waistline and belly

here's a couple i took in geneva last year at Les Canons along rue de Hotel de Ville, @arsecannonpics.bsky.social

Photo of a black cannon, with the wheel on the right, and "sighting down" the cannon along the left. it's in a cobblestoned square looking toward a restaurant with an outside eating area that has red umbrellas. Located in Geneva, at Les Canons along rue de Hotel de Ville

ha ha: all my life in southern california. they should have have i-5 or the 5 to tease that out 😂

dialect heat map of the united states, as generated by my answers to 60 questions of various words (everyone will be different, depending on their answers). mine shows red thru most of california, fading to bands of orange then yellow for most of western usa. midwest and east coast air bands of blue with darkest blue (least matched) around south dakota and around mississippi/alabama. annoyingly there is a bit of yellow around miami. alaska and hawaii are light orange.

the color key goes from dark blue (least matched) to yellow (midway) to red (most matched)

along the top above the map it says:
Your dialect map
Redder areas talk more like you; bluer areas least.
You talk most like someone from California — about 53% of your answers match a typical resident.

here we go, this is mine from last year:

Photf of a lake, with a tall-masted boat on the right in the foreground and in the back center, an enormous fountain with a rainbow ribboned right across its center. Some buildings and such can be seen on the far short of the lake, and it's a sunny day with a bright blue sky

Dear Imagination Library Graduate,
My, how time flies. It seems it was only yesterday when your family and friends read you your first story. You were just a baby. Now you're five years old and about to go to school. How exciting!
This may be your last book from my Imagination Library but you have to promise me you will keep on reading. If you go to your local public library you will find a great number of books just for kids your age. Every book is a treasure and every time you open one up you will meet new friends and take wonderful journeys to magical places.
I hope you have a great time in school. I bet your school will even have a library where you can check out books. You and all of your friends are very special. There is no limit to what you can do or how far you can go.
Just remember the lessons my family taught me - dream big dreams; learn everything you can learn; and care for all those who care for you. You do all of these things and you can be anyone you want to be.
You are terrific, and remember...
I Will Always Love You,

looking for a bird ID! pix taken in Corsica, October, along the west coast (near propriano, i think). it's about the size of a finch or sparrow (long shot, so hard to tell) but i haven't matched it up to anything with those yellow bits... #birds #birdID #corsica

A small bird with a brown back and mostly black wings with white tips and yellow underparts visible. It's sitting in a hedge of late summer flowers. It has a short seed-eating type of beak, and its head is striped black and light brown, and its chest looks light brown as well.

ah! ha ha my mistake, i assumed huevos rancheros mine this morning:

a plate of chilaquiles topped with a sunny side up egg, a drizzle of sour cream and cilantro, with chipotle sauce and avocado slices on the side. the plate is on a green table and a spoon is visible to the right of the plate.

I did not expect this at all. That's an amazing jump for Becerra! This puts Steyer, Porter and Becerra in the top three. Drop Steyer and the others and we've got two very viable Dem candidates left! emersoncollegepolling.com/california-2...

At Waterfront in San Diego at the No Kings march

photo taken at No Kings march in San Diego 2026-03-28 showing a woman with long blonde hair, white shirt, black pants with a black and white backpack, from behind. she is holding up a sign on a wooden stick that reads ISN’T IT PAST YOUR JAIL TIME? in white letters on a black background with a small american flag on top of that. next to her is a man in a light blue shirt and white base ball cap. they are in the middle of a crowd of people in the streets also carrying signs. the windows of an office building provide the backdrop of the image

a photo from a couple years ago (on a rainy day lol)

Photo is taken looking up along the skyline of a cathedral where a dog shaped carved "gargoyle" leaning over the edge is actually a gutter and because it's raining there's a torrent of water coming out of the "dog's" mouth. Behind it is a carved turret coming to a point and behind the turret is another tower with the slotted archery holes visible in it. The stone is a light tan, darker along edges where time has done its work and the sky is white since its overcast and the exposure is focused on the stonework.

Wild day at ocean beach earlier this week! (Ocean Beach, San Diego)

a dog is running through gentle waves at the beach. it is backlit by the sun and appears to be floating above the water bc it was captured mid air

photo shows a feeding frenzy just offshore with hundreds of brown pelicans and double crested cormorants flying in and diving for a school of fish that’s just under the water here

in the foreground you can see incoming waves crashing on the beach then dark blue water with lots of birds floating on top and a bright blue sky over head with more birds flying in

looks like the proposed tunnel would have come out just south of the fault? to close for comfort imo! for a sense of scale it’s about 40-50 miles between DTLA and lancaster as the crow flies www.laalmanac.com/images6/map-...

a map of la county in california with sierra pelona mountains and san gabriel mountains (angels national forest) marked in dark green across the center. los angeles is the yellow area below that, overlaid with the freeway system. above the mountain regions is a smaller yellow area marked lancaster and the 14 fwy loops between the mountain areas from la to lancaster curving way around to the left. there is a dotted orange line just above the mountain areas and below lancaster on a diagonal from upper left to lower right. this dotted line is the san andreas fault. no scale is given for this map but it is roughly 40-50 miles between DTLA and lancaster as the crow flies.

if you check the article it notes the large uptick in such numbers which is what i was referring to

If there was any thought that this was a fleeting pandemic-era experiment of laptop nomads logging in from distant shores, data hints at its longevity. The U.S. government has a monthslong backlog of Americans asking to renounce their citizenship, either to secure a foreign passport or to avoid taxation of their earnings abroad. In 2024, requests jumped 48% and likely outpaced that in 2025, immigration firms say.

Americans are applying for British citizenship at the highest rate since records began in 2004: some 6,600 in the year to March 2025. They are securing Irish passports at a record pace: 31,825 in 2024, and an estimated 40,000 last year.

Damn, you guys. AI doesn't reduce your work load if you have to check everything it does: www.reddit.com/r/claude/com...

When drafting an email, Claude inserted my competitor's phone number in my signature block

I am an estate planning attorney in South Florida. Claude was drafting some letters or emails for me, and in the signature block, it had a phone number I've never seen or given it. Now, we use callrail and could have a dozen or so tracking generated numbers that i don't know. so maybe it got it from there. But when googled the number, it was to one of my (friendly) competitors! Another local estate planning attorney. So I asked it:
"Where did you get my phone number from??? jnever saw that before and when I googled, it was one of my competitors. Don't just apologize, tell me exactly where it came form" [sic to the typos] ...

taken from the top of the closed ocean beach pier in san diego. the pier is barred by two two hinged gates with a pallid and a sign below that says “ob love”. there are notices to either side proclaiming it closed, slated for demo, and a replacement pier planned. you can see the disused pier behind the metal gates, the blue ocean in the background and clear blue sky overhead. january 2026 in san diego

if you drag both countries to the equator, here’s how they compare

screenshot showing the relative size of greenland on left and usa on right if they were both on the equator (which pretty much eliminates flat map distortion). from this perspective greenland is roughly the size of the western states (east of the rockies). on flat maps, greenland’s northern distortion makes it look like it could swallow up both canada and the usa

It was gorgeous today. Queuing up Torrey Pines!

On a partly submerged rock a few feet from the water’s edge looking up at golden cliffs soaring above the beach. There’s a blue sky overhead dusted with thin clouds. There are people walking past on the beach that show the scale of the cliffs

Standing on a partly submerged rock that extends out into the ocean with waves that occasionally splash over the rock. It looks a little like a runway.

anyway, here's an example... some of these make me laugh, I set them up like 15 years ago (you can just accumulate filters as needed) eg, the first two are finding emails from a mailing list and labeling them appropriately, so i can just click on those labels later to read them, etc

Shows a screenshot from my gmail's Settings/Filters and Blocked Addresses page. Identifying information is blurred out, but it shows a checkable list of Matches: paired with Do this: . Each Matches describes how the match is to be done, most often on the "from:" line but can be "to:" or "subject:" or even a pattern in the body of the email. the Do this can be anything from delete it, label it, archive it, star it, etc
