This interview makes me really happy. Anh Phoong became a personal injury attorney because she got in a car accident in law school, and her insurance company took her for a ride because they knew she didn't have a lawyer. Anh Phoong is out for REVENGE
csus.edu
Anh Phoong may be California's most recognizable attorney, but this Sac State alum hasn't forgotten her roots
Anh Phoong talks about the billboard ads that have made her a household name, her time at Sac State, and her struggle to achieve her dream of being a lawyer.

Night night sweet dreamies 🧡🐈 We all have days when we feel stuck. Proper fed up with everything for no reason other than… we just are. Don’t let a bad day convince you it’s a bad life. This feeling will pass. Hang on in there. Better days will find you again 🧡

"Feel the wind in your hair..." Okay, there's a big anniversary today: the 40th since the release of Sega's sublime arcade racer OUTRUN! Sometime between today and the 25th in 1986, arcade goers were being taken on a Sega multi-route race for the first time. Share the OutRun love, peeps <3

This week on his TV show, Nigel Farage laughed at a clip of a woman in tears because of the racism she’d experienced. “I can’t stop laughing,” he said. When people tell you who they are, believe them. And then don’t vote Reform.

Three senior Reform figures were involved in those Channel 4 revelations we saw last night. Two have been kicked out. The third is Nigel Farage. Farage should be suspended while this matter is investigated. He has very serious questions to answer.

A few years ago I went to a pig sanctuary and most of the pigs were stoned from eating green acorns. This one, Wilbur, couldn’t stand up and was too big to lift, so the staff had to leave him in this bush and wait for him to sober up.

Trans joy belongs everywhere - including the WNBA 💞🏳️‍⚧️ On Saturday we’ll be outside the Liberty v. Fever game celebrating trans people, talking with fans, sharing stories and resources, and making it clear: Equality means inclusion. Trans people belong in sports, in our communities, and everywhere.
A flier with a light blue background featuring "Equality Means Inclusion" in large bold black text across the top. In the center is a photo of a gray elephant mascot (Ellie the Elephant) wearing a teal basketball jersey numbered 00, a small crown, and green sneakers, holding a hand fan and a white tote bag. Surrounding the mascot on both sides are the words: "Blow Bubbles! Share Zines! Educate Folk!" on the left, and "Share Stories! Forge Allies! Express Joy!" on the right. The trans pride flag colors, blue, pink, and white, appear as accents throughout. At the bottom it reads: "Join us and support Trans Joy and Inclusion! Outside Barclays Arena Before the Liberty v. Fever Game. August 22, 2026 @ 4:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m."
