Husband Unit is still resting at home, but our friend Anita and I went to the Hollywood Bowl to see the Preservation Hall Jazz Band and Tower of Power! Gods, they’re all so (relatively) young. Growing up it was pretty much all old men (and women, Jeanette Kimball!).

This is a photo from 1992 during the Rodney King riots. Shame on CNN for using this photo to score points with the regime!

In fact, I would argue that thinking you should only protest when you’re sure you can win is the most naive position of all.

The guy arresting you shouldn’t look like the guy in a ski mask robbing a liquor store. It’s why we’re advancing legislation to put a stop to secret police-style masked law enforcement.

Really heartening to attend the neighborhood #NoKings protest today in Highland Park with my dear friend @sazeracla.bsky.social (and a cameo by @wendycarrillo.bsky.social with her Hamilton-inspired sign!) (If you’re in any of these and want a copy without your face blurred/covered, hmu)

We saw it at Regents Park, and it was stunning. the indoor setting (and Barbican’s terrifically uncomfortable seats) might take away a bit of the magic, but the performances and staging were top tier.

We have a 1-year guarantee from the nursery so hopefully their confidence is well-founded. And it was raised in the valley so HLP should feel cool and comfy by comparison. We loved our plum in SF but it did get rather monotonous a few weeks in. 🤭

After weeks of prep, we finally have fruit trees in the ground: a Lisbon lemon, a Pixie tangerine, and a “cocktail” with Blenheim apricots, Alberta peaches, Santa Rosa plums, and Fantasia nectarines. It was painful to remove their fruit but I know they need to focus their energy on roots first.

Yeah, Ace is (like most hardware brands) a co-op supply chain, not a true company. Ours is owned by Westlake Ace, a chain of ~200 Ace stores. We have a local non-Ace shop walking distance but they keep bankers hours + very limited supply. I sure miss Cole Hardware in SF (also Ace but super local).

Rant: work gloves at my local @acehardware.bsky.social start at size Medium, and most high quality ones are L/XL only; no space on the rack for Small sizes! Found a few smaller gloves in Garden but they’re pink/floral/lightweight. Guess women who do actual work-work need to shop online. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Went to HMart and bought the biggest size bottle of our favorite peanut oil and 3 bottles each of light superior soy and fish sauce. Probably should go back for a case of the good coconut milk. I also made sure I had backstock of all the Burlap & Barrel spices, and a big bottle of vanilla extract.

My guess is that since the trade war is collapsing demand for trucking, they’re trying to do something to reduce oversupply… and this is their harebrained notion of what will work.

Just so we're all clear here: the Secretary of Defense has been sharing classified war planning about Yemen in unsecured channels, and now the Houthis have enough intel that they can target US aircraft carriers & force an F18 into the drink. Not hard to connect the dots here.
Barbara Starr tweet: IMPORTANT: IFTruman had to make a sudden hard turn to avoid enemy fire this is extremely significant. The goal for US troops is to always bring down the enemy as far away as possible NOT close in. And  this potentially suggests further improvements in Houthi guidance and targeting. Def more to learn here.

Starr is QTing Natasha Bertrand:
UPDATE: A US official said that initial reports from the scene indicated that the Truman made a hard turn to evade Houthi fire, which contributed to the fighter jet falling overboard.
