Well shit. I already ate one bag earlier in the week before the news broke. Here's hoping I don't get the bug.

Wtf. Oakland. We should not be paying off a dude who should have been fired immediately. Can the funds be garnished from Houston's paychecks or payroll?

The proposal from Ken Houston would give a substantial sum to Jestin Johnson, who left the city in May after a texting scandal.

Not the obit I expected to see today, but I'll take it.

crazy how the “shut up, don’t you want Collins’s seat” crowd is responsible for the most likely reason Collins will retain her seat

It is July and I have turned the heat back on.

I turned the TV on and Mexico scored 30 seconds later so I guess I can't leave the couch again until the game is over. (Good thing it's nearly halftime!)

Anyone else not seeing images on the 'sky today (just a light grey box)? I'm running the latest Android version. Cc @support.bsky.team

@uptecwa.bsky.social is there any update on the vote certification? Y'all have gone MIA since the voting ended and July 1 is next week. Do we not get the agreed upon raise if counting/certification is still in progress? Please do a better job of communicating progress (or lack there of)!

Building data centers in one of the hottest, arid, & drought-ridden parts of CA is a genius idea that only could have been dreamt up by the smartest tech bros. Go spend some time in the valley this summer & pay some full-price PG&E bills before you again speak this idea into existence, "geniuses."

Project could lead to leasing land or providing energy for data centers that could be built in California’s Central Valley, fueling a massive tech boom up north.

And because of this plan, there's now a 99% chance Karl will swoop in and ensure it's one of the foggiest 4ths on record. 😂

For the 250th anniversary of the United States, San Francisco will launch a rare display, changing its usual location of July Fourth fireworks.

I just remembered that I have a chair massager, and whoo boy do I need it after the past few days of work. Now I just need someone to deliver a vat of wine from my kitchen.

Come back Kennedy Center livestream!

Rewatched X-Men: First Class this weekend. I'd forgotten just how Jewish the movie was...and really enjoyed it. The layers of Magneto hit me a lot harder than when the movie was originally released.

Can someone still on the hellsite please convince Hunter to crosspost here? I really don't want to go back to twitter to read his amazeball posts.

Headed east last week for a family event. So good to see the fam, and I had a few days in Philly and Bmore to play tourist and eat all the Jewish food and meander around museums, which I needed. And gorge on crab cakes. And very intentionally avoid visiting DC, which I did not.

As a science fiction writer I really fucking resent tech bros for ruining the phrase "artificial intelligence." 80 years of it being all about cool androids and interesting computers destroyed by five years of "Spicy autocorrect making everything shittier for money." NEVER FORGIVE.

A general reminder: you don't *have* to use Substack. While I get that it's easy and convenient, realize there are alternatives that (1) give you more control and (2) don't regularly fund and promote neo-Nazis. Continuing to use Substack for your newsletter is a choice. You can make a different one

Guessing I'm not the only Jewish person who cringed at this @puzzmo.com clue today. #jewsky

Love that my revamped front yard is working as hoped for/planned. 🌱

Some scary moments yesterday. A hummingbird flew, HARD, into my glass door between my office and deck yesterday. I found it laying on the doormat barely breathing. Did some quick searching online, cut apart a contact lens solution box, nuked some bulgar in an old sock... 🌱

Hello 🌱 pals. Any idea what these little yellow and black bugs are (not the caterpillar) all over my davis milkweed? Are they baby ladybugs?

This thread got me thinking. Obvi, this is a small sample size, but all of the heavy AI users/fans I know are guys. Women (in my circles) use it for very specific/limited reasons. Why are guys using AI for validation when women aren't?

I personally think not safe to remain in any personal relationship with anyone who is using LLMs to analyze your relationship, make conclusions about your motives, or determine how to treat you. I think this is beyond red flag—it should be an immediate dealbreaker.

Fuck. So not emotionally ready to deal with the onslaught of Mothers Day marketing.

Because women and girls are believed or not believed based on the political party of their predator, this is why we choose the bear.

Lol.

29 years since we won the big game. My junior year at UofA and one of the craziest nights of my life. Am I going to need to move back to Tucson to get another win?!

I needed this laugh this week...and here's a primer on Jewish ambulances for you non-tribe folks.

Miriam Anzovin@miriamanzovin.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Shalom friends, Thank you for calling the #ElderMillennialsofZion healthcare hotline, ambulance edition 🚑 Your call is important to us, please remain on the line….👀 we just need to put some fires out real quick. #JewishAmbulances

I grew up with a whole house fan in Fresno and that thing was magical. It cooled a 2800sqft house down in 20 minutes (40 years ago)! If I hadn't needed to replace my 80 yr old furnace last year, I probably would have just gotten a whole house fan for cooling rather than a heat pump for heat and AC.

When California heats up, electric bills soar. Air conditioning can cost hundreds of dollars per month in the summer, but here’s a cheaper option that will work for at least some homes.

This Jewish woman is so disappointed in you, @warren.senate.gov.

Made this tonight because A. I'm trying to eat less meat for health and cost-savings and B. I'm on week 2 of 9 of Invisalign, and chewing doesn't feel great Happy to report that it tasted delish! The dill and feta really elevated it into something special. Looking forward to tomorrow's leftovers.

We are smitten with our Sunrise lentils. Their flavor is hard to pin down—earthy, yet gentle, if that makes sense. We can't get enough of this stew with Sunrise lentils, lemon, and dill. Lemon and lentils are always a winning combination!
