I wanted to go but it was closed! The whole town was very train themed though. I stayed at the "Pullman Inn" and got some of the history. Lots of fun vintage decor

San Diego is crawling with ICE rat bastards. Just saw a video of them taking a man on my street yesterday, just two blocks away. They're swarming City Heights too. SD & LA are not safe right now

His plan: cut 20% of city staff, retain the same city services (tbd) and increase policing. So easy!!

it's crazy this actually made me a little nostalgic for Jerry Sanders and the old reigning SD GOP, who at least had the decency to call themselves Republicans and not pretend to be "independents"

Monica de la Cruz @monicadlc.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

and we have candidates like Richard Bailey trying to push this stale old formula like it's a fresh, innovative idea that only an independent outsider like him could bring to the city

What you described about Yelp searches played out in the group chat this weekend. AC was top priority!

I don't have cable and I don't want to go to a bar so I'm watching the game at my gym waving around a resistance band like it's a rally towel

Man gets on the bus rambling to no one and it just sounds like he's talking nonsense until he says, "it's 100 degrees and last night the president told Iran they could blow up San Diego!" The bus driver goes "hey now, he didn't say that" until the passenger pulled up the video clip

City Council is trying to enshrine free parking at Mission Bay and other beach areas. This is a mistake, not only does it cut off an important source of much needed funds for the park which is struggling just to keep bathrooms open, the free parking is misused making it unavailable to park goers.

dang I thought CA would be higher up there. And I love pumpkin! Love the flavor, iconic shape. I just recognize that a lot of consumers simply want sweet + orange and that could be accomplished a lot easier with a sweet potato, we don't need to trick them into eating a gourd

Monica de la Cruz @monicadlc.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

true haha. people mostly like the spices + sweet anyway. they don't want pumpkin or sweet potato and just need a vehicle

Monica de la Cruz @monicadlc.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

what about oven baked where they get all roasty, custardy and caramelly? Or the ultimate roasted whole sweet potato, from a Mexican street vendor

Monica de la Cruz @monicadlc.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

I love pumpkin, I just think people are trying to make it more sweet than it should be with PSL fall items and should maybe just try a sweet potato if they want that all that sugar

Monica de la Cruz @monicadlc.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

I love and appreciate squashes for what they are. I was thinking more about how pumpkin is marketed for American consumers and how all the pumpkin spice items in stores are already so sweet & desserty. Most people buying PSL stuff want cloying sweet and should just eat sweet potato with fall spices

Monica de la Cruz @monicadlc.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

oh I'm all about the butternut. never had it pie but it's super versatile

Monica de la Cruz @monicadlc.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

I believe it. and I love pumpkin pie! but first time I tried a sweet potato pie I was so confused about how pumpkin pie became popular lol

The 1984 Padres team coming back to win three straight against Cubs is our “keep the faith” origin story. The players on that team were energized by the fans who supported them at their lowest point. Our fanbase is still incredibly supportive. It’s on the players to match that energy tonight 🙏

Sweet potato has the flavor, sweetness and color everyone is searching for in a pumpkin. I'm convinced that most people would probably prefer sweet potato swapped in all of these pumpkin spiced seasonal items, if it weren't for big pumpkin pushing gourds on us at this time of year

We gotta end the initiative system before California voters inevitably cripples the states ability to govern imo.

I saw one of these in action on the Bayshore multimodal path near Harbor Island-Spanish Landing but I didn't get a pic so I was going around telling everyone about this amazing fantastical contraption, as if I'd seen a unicorn

Brutal. Thankfully my gym has AC and a pool so I've been spending all weekend here

ABC10 posted a hysterical rage bait reel saying they're tearing down this beloved part of the village for an enormous condo building. It's a shipping container plopped on a lot that's only been there for a few years, there's no heritage to tear down!

The Bike Coalition is working to bring bikeshare back! It's a huge effort but we've learned a lot from the past and from other cities about how to do it right this time. Bike Share — San Diego County Bike Coalition share.google/mOeKOdOebd4x...

Ah you're in SD too? If anyone asked me to do sprints at the velodrome in full sun exposure today, I would think they were crazy haha. Stay hydrated!

I could probably fall asleep like that

This is in the bedroom. As you can imagine, I didn't sleep well 😅

It never cooled down last night. I think it reached 78 at the lowest outside so we're starting the day with heat

Monica de la Cruz @monicadlc.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

I put essential oils in my cold wet washcloths to feel like I'm fancy and not pathetically trying to endure miserable heat in my own home

Monica de la Cruz @monicadlc.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

We've entered the "laying around with cold wet washcloths on the head and body" phase of heat

Most of this traffic is just a bunch of Ubers and a party bus fighting for curb access because at this hour Broadway is used as one big night club drop off zone

We need bus only lanes on Broadway yesterday

The North Park parking garage is nearly free, dead center in the business district, and half empty even at peak times. It defies the "you can only have 2: cheap, convenient and available" rule for parking, and yet, drivers still don't use it!
