Helping a client move from WordPress to Ghost, and taking the opportunity to streamline and optimize the code from their theme. It's like being haunted by the ghosts of CSS past.

this is truly motivating me to use inshallah even more than I already do after all it’s the faster and more fun way to say “if the good lord’s willing and the creek don’t rise,” speaking as someone with Southern roots.

In my house, “That was terrible! Don’t ever make it again!” is high praise. 🤣

Having the urge to blow up my life today.

I know of a few journalists who left to become PR people. It’s more lucrative and more flexible.

Realizing that I now qualify for a money-saving Consumer Cellular Plan. Deciding how I feel about that.

The KP trade is probably the right long-term move for the Sparks and Mercury.

I should just go ahead and buy The Woks of Life cookbook. They have fantastic recipes.

Definitely looking forward to the feature adaptation of “If I Go Will They Miss Me.” It’s written and directed by Los Angeles’ own, Walter Thompson-Hernández. www.imdb.com/title/tt3915...

ATTENTION: all philanthropists: Blacksky is in the market for a server, has $30K USD to spend and would benefit greatly from any amount (or server) you are able to donate. #philanthropy #philanthropist #BlackskyNews

🧵 Blacksky is looking to buy a server for $30k USD. We'd like the following specs or better: - 384 GB RAM - 80 TB NVMe; ZFS RAIDZ2 in 2 vdevs - 1 Gbps + 10 Gpbs burstable - at least 84 threads for the CPU(s) - Ideally somewhere in the eastern half of North America but open to North America and EU

I believe this is also in contrast to Bass’ historical position. Anyway: in LA, there’s a very strong anti-housing streak in LA politics. It’s split between “I don’t want to live near The Poors™️ in apartments” and “Developers shouldn’t make any profit on housing.“

We already have a shitty, exclusionary place in sports: it's called men's sports. They built it like that on purpose. Let them own it and figure that out for themselves. Women's sports were built in opposition to that structure, built for inclusion. The WNBA has represented the best of that.

Mayoral candidate Nithya Raman will join us at Locals this month. She's hosted by our Locals Friends and LA Forward. We'll be inside for a short speech and opportunities to get involved with the campaign. You can RSVP at www.laforward.org/events/nh-803 (not required)

MAN, LISTEN! Take care of your feet.

If you are 38 years old or older, I want you to start working on your foot strength and ankle mobility. Unless I hate you. Then I want you to rest for ten years and then suddenly try to hop off a step one day, cold.

I’m glad I brought this bottle of wine back from Chile. It tastes better than it did at the vineyard, honestly.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

We are looking to talk with folks who may want to leave their current job but are staying for the health insurance only. Does that sound like you or someone you know? Email your story to indicator@npr.org and we may reach out.

First it was Stephen A. Smith. Now it’s Don Lemon. Please be for real.

“People are tired of the tried and true. They're tired of corporate Democrats, established Democrats. They want something new and different.” On this week’s episode of America, Actually, @donlemonofficial.bsky.social explains why he would make a good candidate for the 2028 presidential election.

Wild to create an AI tool that will so obviously be used to create disinfo and then to put the responsibility on a user to investigate — using more Google tools of course — whether the content was made with your AI tool!

Joseph Cox@josephcox.bsky.social · 5d ago

Google's statement that it includes a watermark that can identify them as AI-generated is completely braindead as to how disinformation works. You think people spending literally three seconds to derail a discussion give a shit about that? This is so easy to abuse www.404media.co/google-earth...

Ngl kinda crazy to abandon your core fan base after such a surge in popularity for people that don't give a shit about the league, don't give any money to the league, and will completely abandon it once the political theater no longer has its use.

They did it again. What’s to figure out? You boil water and pour it over grounds in the pot. Then put the plunger in, wait 5 minutes and push it down.

Tiffany@webinista.com · 9mo ago

Do the writers of #BeyondTheGates know what a French press is? Why would Chelsea need Tomas (or anyone) to figure that out? It’s not an espresso machine or a Nescafé.

Riding the D is a great way to get to République. #LosAngeles

Also: IIRC, Sophie Cunningham’s time in the WNBA overlaps with Layshia Clarendon’s. Layshia is transmasc and part of WNBPA leadership. Like that alone would shift MY perspective on the issue. I find it so weird that this is where Sophie decided to land.

Nanjala@nanjala.bsky.social · 6d ago

There are no (out) trans players in the WNBA. They are weaponising hypotheticals because they are testing the waters for blowing up Title IX, just like they used Abigail Fisher to try and blow up DEI in uni. They have the Supreme Court and they are using these test cases to undo legislation.

Sometimes those low-volume workouts kick your 🍑 a whole lot.

So that little trick where you stick some eraser in the end of a gel pen to make it write smoothly again seems to work. This is a trick I saw on Instagram, so trying to find it again is more work than I wish to put in.

If it happens, this is going to end with Black men in prison camps just for existing.

The Trump administration is creating an AI system for "pre-crime policing," hoping to leverage government data on private citizens to predict crimes before they happen.

We left my nephew (a dog) alone for 5 hours to go to a basketball game. In that time, this little gremlin found, ripped open, and ate an entire bag of dog treats. Luckily for all of us, it was a small bag.

After 1, it's the Liberty 36, Sparks 30. Hard-hitting defensive game in that quarter.
