It’s no wonder I woke up this morning in the midst of a panic attack. All my social media feeds are endless pictures of people who are dead. From Barry Melrose to 9/11 victims. Inescapable reminders of the passage of time.

Bribes for votes! Did that used to be illegal? Back when laws were enforced?

Oh Barry. I got into the NHL when the Kings were in the final against Montreal in 1993. He was infamous for bringing Hollywood flash and Tony Robbins to the locker room. He was a much better analyst than a coach, as it turned out. Endlessly entertaining. I’ll never forget that laugh.

Today 2 unauthorized drones brought San Diego's Lindbergh Field to a halt for more than 2 hours. Local news & the airport blamed a weather balloon. The weather balloon crossed into the county more than 20 miles north of Lindbergh Field at an altitude of 53,000FT & flew over North County. 1/2

I felt a disturbance in the force this morning. Then I read that Gloria Steinem passed away at age 92. I’m always surprised that she’s older than my mother. Speaking of, my mother would’ve had a much better life if abortion had been legal in 1966. This is a wonderful book. Highly recommend.

What in the condescending misogyny is this, @wired.com? “Perimenopause” isn’t a “buzzword” invented by pharma startups — if you haven’t heard it much until recently, maybe that’s because women’s health in midlife was almost completely disregarded www.wired.com/story/inside...

I'm streaming different versions of Mozart's Requiem in an effort to determine my favorite. So far, I've declared the 1980s Academy of St Martins in the Field version to be too delicate. But I am a fan of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra version. It's heavy. So that's how it's going.

Never had the MR Neurography. I won my appeal, then UCLA claimed Scripps was non-contracted, rejecting my referral & auth. Said I could pay cash or GTFO. No further help ever came from Scripps. I located a cash pay Dr. who does nerve hydrodissection, saw him last week & had it done. Results unknown.

I’ve been reading about Jared Leto sexually abusing teenage girls and young women for at least 15 years. Mainly on Livejournal, but there were also message boards that “groupies” used to post on and some shared sexual experiences with him that were abusive.

Every once in a while, this app reminds me why I left my grad program and give zero shits about it. It’s always some pompous man talking down to me like he’s the fucking second coming of Thucydides. Public history is about teaching the public about history, not smelling your own farts all day.

HMO clusterfuck has hit 7 weeks now. Arm still hurts, haven't had the MR Neurography or treatment for the nerve entrapment from the IV infiltration that happened over a year ago now. I've been through 3 different medical systems now. Blue Shield is now cockblocking UCLA from doing anything else.

I actually got headhunted this week. I haven’t been headhunted in well over a year. It’s for a position in the Bay Area. I really want to go home to LA. Being back in San Diego was a bad decision. I realized I’m not from here anymore.

I just realized something I hate about this admin so much. Nothing is important any more. Nothing has weight or meaning or history. Nothing has honor or pride. They just pervert everything that we are for cheap, crappy optics. They ruin who we are to our core.

This is Calarts. Arguably the best animation school in the US, its alumni include industry legends. The graduating class is booing school president Ravi Ranjan, he's been gutting creative programs and pushing Ai initiatives, corporatizing the school. His secretary is treating graduates like babies.

I barely felt the largest of the quakes in Downtown SD from the current Brawley swarm. Someone is a heavy stepper on my floor so I can often feel my floor moving when I am sitting still. This felt very different than that and I knew it was an earthquake but then forgot to look it up!

Footage from the Frontier evacuation last night shows many people with their carry on luggage, which they are explicitly told to LEAVE BEHIND. It also shows people with their carry ons & in case, with their CHILD looking at the human remains inside the engine. This is where we are as a society.

The Canvas hack has made me even more grateful that I left Sacramento State’s public history program a year ago without completing my thesis. They had already gone all in on AI and advising was poor to nonexistent. I’m wondering how much of my information has remained accessible on Canvas, however.

Apparently, over on threads, women are naming their rapist in response to that story about the Rape Academy. One of them named a colleague of the man who assaulted me. This confirms what I already know about that place.
