Topping off ceremony

I knew the Warriors were cooked when the fate of their season was in the hands of players like Gui Santos and Quinten Post. 😞

I hate that this has mostly been proven correct. Wolves are very beatable but the Warriors are worn down.

I think our history of civil rights still carries a lot of deep emotional resonance for Americans. Ras Baraka, son of Amiri Baraka, getting arrested at an ICE facility connects the current immigration issue to that legacy in a way that could be powerful.

I used to just stick to CA Health and Safety Code § 50053, 50052.5, 50093…kinda basic but it spoke to me. Then I got into CA Gov’t Code Section 65915, it’s so mainstream these days but I get something new out of it every time I revisit it. Lately I’ve developed a taste for 65323 and even 34176.1.

I djed a friend of a friend’s wedding about 10 years ago. Now she has progressive MS and can barely leave the house. Really has me in my feelings.

I saw Gavin Newsom load a homeless family into a Waymo and shout, “the ocean please” into the steering wheel and then slap the back of it to send it off like a horse.

Oh hey! @ioangrillo.bsky.social is on here—one of the best follows for Latin American politics & crime reporting.

I’m so exhausted by all these conferences, webinars, and working groups that all claim to be about “innovative” solutions to the housing crisis. When apartments are illegal through most of the city and impact fees are $$$, it’s not some great mystery why more housing doesn’t get built!

Been reading a Mother Goose book to my daughter at bedtime. Xan’t believe Tommy Snooks got away with such vapid conversation, he must have been history’s first himbo.

Every Jacobin article on housing reads like a baby trying to fly an airplane.

If the Warriors survive this round they’re probably gonna get eaten alive next round. Thrown to the Wolves, as it were.

Was sobering to read the results of the testing a consultant did for my city to measure housing discrimination. Potential applicants were discriminated against on the basis of race, family status, and disability.

Controversial opinion: the New York Times does not like Trump and does not want him to rule us like a king.

A high-level staffer at City of Oakland HCD would like to leftistly concern-troll about the abundance agenda.

Gonna be hilarious if it ends up being a Warriors-Cavs finals.
