Let me say a couple words about paywalls. They’re annoying. I feel that (as a news consumer) and know that (as a news publisher). But asking for your email, either to read an article or even to access a gift link (someone said this happened to them a a Times gift link a moment ago) isn’t some …

This isn't breaking news or anything but I've very recently been to both Nebraska and central Oregon, and the Trump paraphernalia I was used to seeing in both of those places is just ... gone. (Except that fucking barn on I-80.)

Not really sure where a bunch of liberals got the idea that they can’t win without throwing trans people in the garbage, but they’re stupid and cruel and wrong. If you want a human sacrifice so damned bad put gavin newsom in the wicker man

There's a Democrat named Lynne Walz running for governor in Nebraska whose TV commercials say "when Democrats pushed to defund the police, Lynne said no." Imagine pushing a complete lie about your own party to trick people into thinking you're a Republican.

oaklandside.org/2026/06/18/p... This little twerp: @itsjpet.bsky.social Rich boy from Piedmont meddling in Oakland politics, as Piedmonters always do from their rich little enclave on the hill. When you can't win on ideas and policies, you blast out lies and hide. #annexpiedmont

Who’s behind the AI-generated social media posts targeting Oakland’s mayor?

A Piedmont-raised political activist is building a network of websites and social media accounts blasting progressive politicians.

"But even though the useful alerts are a tiny fraction of the total scans, they’re still overwhelming Oakland police. There were so many hits for stolen vehicles and plates last year that OPD kept these alerts deactivated, according to the report."

i was a teenager in a town of around 35K people in the 90s, and any teenager with any ambition or creativity at all wanted nothing more than to move to The City, so i have a particular contempt for people from The City who wants to keep new people out. these are the people who built The City.

There are not many things that rural Nebraska (where I lived my first 18 years) and Oakland (where I've lived the last 14) have in common, but wild turkeys are among them. Not just turkeys in the hills, btw. Literally a flock of turkeys strutting down Market St in West Oakland.
