Radio had no idea what to do with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers when they first got popular. Are they punk? New Wave? 😱😁

It's all marine layer currently. Very nice temperature. I think the forecast is rain starting around 11 p.m. I got my gutters cleaned yesterday!

Haven't been able to say this for many months this hot year: If you live in S.D. County & have automatic sprinklers, you can turn them off & leave 'em off for a week or more. The bulk of the rain should fall tonight & early Sunday, but it should be moist & cool into Tuesday. #sandiegoweather #CAwx

Rachel bears a slight resemblance to Hilary, which dropped 1.84 inches of rain on San Diego on Aug. 20-21, 2023. At its peak, Hilary was a much stronger storm. I wrote about Hilary for Voice of San Diego as it approached: voiceofsandiego.org/2023/08/18/w... #sandiegoweather #CAwx

If I built an AI lab and it went rogue and deleted all student loan information, I'm betting they'd suddenly figure out how to prosecute me.

As Rachel gets closer, the rainfall projections from the National Weather Service are rising. San Diego could get 1.5 inches of rain on Sunday alone. Palomar Mountain could get 2.5 inches. Then more is likely Monday and Tuesday from a separate storm from the north. #sandiegoweather #CAwx

Putin has bought Trump with Russian diesel. Just before the US elections. Meanwhile, Russia keeps killing our children while they sleep at night. So Americans are now funding Russia’s war machine? I’m sorry, guys, but WHAT A FUCKING DISGRACE.

My husband and I found this dog wandering down the street in the Parkrose neighborhood in Portland. No license. Couldn't find an owner, so we took him to the animal shelter. He's very friendly and somewhat trained. Reposts appreciated if you're in the area. He has to have had an owner.

22 California billionaires have spent a combined $150 million so far to defeat Prop 40. By spending their fortunes trying to stop California from taxing billionaires, they're making the argument for a billionaire wealth tax more clearly and articulately than anyone else possibly could.
