California’s billionaires have a combined net worth of $2.4 trillion. Under Prop 40, their net worth would fall to…just under $2.3 trillion. What amounts to a rounding error for them would allow millions of their fellow Californians to afford healthcare. Vote yes on Prop 40.

Just dropped off my ballot today in a desperate attempt to stem the onslaught of political mailers filling up my mailbox. I hate that I can't control what I receive and most of it goes directly in the recycling without being read. Hopefully they will stop once my ballot has been marked as received.

It was quite disturbing to see so many carcasses on the beach a few weeks ago. Another beach goer stopped me to ask me if I knew why she was seeing so many dead birds on her walk. I had no idea but there were definitely a lot.

This bit infuriated me and perfectly encapsulates DOGE culture. "The Muskrats had carte blanche to show up at any federal agency and secure access to computer data that they didn’t even try to understand. Not understanding made it easier to score points with Musk."

This is horrifying. As someone who got DOGE'd out of a job a year ago and is still struggling as a result, I can say I am one of the lucky ones. These fuckers need to pay for what they've done.

The thing about Gillis's monologue isn't just that it's misogynistic; it's that it's misogynistic in the most unoriginal, dated, cringe-ily 1982 would-be Andrew Dice Clay way. Like, wow slut shaming women in workout clothes, where'd you dig that fossil up

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

This always annoys me that when organizing social activities with my friend group, it's always the women who RSVP and communicate on message threads, like they are their male partners' social secretaries or something. I can think of only one male friend in a M-F couple that participates regularly.

An important conversation, but as always (judging from some of the comments) there are men who refuse to listen when they are told no, and who insist that it's not a problem.

It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.
X post from AI industry insider Alvin Sng :

My wife: Can you read our baby a book?
Me: I can just play an audiobook from my phone.
My wife: But then it won't be in your voice.
Me: I can train a voice model.
Parenting hits different when you work in Al.
