The 80-year recipe stoking America’s Prosperity: 1) Free-market capital investments in brilliant ideas… 2) enabled by Engineering Innovations… 3) based on Science Research in Universities… 4) funded by Grants from the US Government. It’s time more people understood this.

@verizonofficial.bsky.social it’s absurd that you are still having issues with data connection in French Polynesia. Customers have reported this issue for over 6 months. I’m beyond frustrated (and feeling unsafe) being here over a week without a data connection. Yet we’re stuck paying

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

Of the three people in the State Department who know all the key players in India-Pakistan and could help the US de-escalate - one just got fired, one isn’t sure who they report to, and one is focused on the fact that they may lose their house because their partner just got laid off by Chemonics.

People in other states died when San Diego had an outbreak. I’m sure everything will go so much better this time around now that we have massive federal public health cuts and vaccine skeptics in charge 😞

Hi @karlthefog.bsky.social

Completely full bus in SF today, not even 5pm. They were turning riders away bc it’s Asian style transit level full. But no one rides transit 🤡

To be effective, our opposition to today's abuses must run alongside a clear picture of what we are actually for - and how everyday life could be better with different leadership.

We are going into month 7 on the Kaiser mental health workers strike, yet no one seems to care. It’s actually gross how few “leaders” have spoken or done anything publicly to pressure Kaiser

My worst nightmare is true. Some huge snake coming out of water. Will I ever sleep soundly again? Jury is out apple.news/AVUsKHcTLS3G...

My parents saw this clip run as b roll on CNN and called me up wondering what exactly I was involved in. Pretty proud to have been a small part of throwing Filner out of office.

I can admit I’m a yuppie, I love Sweetgreen

The supposedly pro-natalist, pro-life administration is destroying support for our most vulnerable. Disgusting.

The most Las Vegas thing ever. A group of crazy hippies that ran from LA to Vegas bet on who would arrive first. Then the group doubled their winning cash at the roulette table. www.washingtonpost.com/sports/inter...

People in college, and early in my career in social work, told me that I was “too political.” Yet these are the same folks just SHOCKED and feeling adrift 90 days into the Trump administration. Folks, it’s always about politics.

I wish I could go back and tell my 2015 self that in ten years I would be attending an anti-Republican general strike called by David Brooks at which Bill Kristol offered an incisive analysis of the eugenicist and Nazi roots of Elon Musk’s natalism.

Mr. Civility himself calling for a general strike, Bill Kristol calling for ICE to be abolished, and GMU libertarians posting like they want to get the GC subpeonaed. We are 83 days in.

Are gun billboards allowed in City of San Diego? I remember some debate about this, but can’t remember where it ultimately came down. Just saw this in Mission Valley

Massively disappointing that the Labor Movement continues to oppose infill housing. And seemingly detrimental to…oppose construction jobs? www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2025/02/13/l...

Do we think that when the new Terminal 1 opens, the fake cops outside will stop strobing their flashlights in the eyes of drivers? Or is that just part of their gig? Been flying here 20 years and it’s the same shit every time.

Ughhhh

Mine. Because my husband and I actually enjoy each other’s company. Why do Republican men all seem to hate their wives?

When are we going to stop (re)building in disaster zones? Is the City really giving out building permits in this floodplain? Why isn’t there a bigger conversation, specifically in the areas closest to Chollas Creek, about whether this is responsible? voiceofsandiego.org/2025/01/22/w...

It’s my annual holiday party, 2pm—evening. If I know you IRL, message me for address. 🎄🕎🥂

Europe, land of opulence & excess. Versailles, Schonbrunn, Vatican. Yet when shower doors were invented, they were like, it’s time for austerity and restraint. Can’t have excess glass spoiling the public. Gotta have a daily flood at shower time.
