Leaving this actually tolerable weather to go home to a boiling hellscape, tomorrow... (And this doesn't even include the heat index!)

I was sitting on the SW app, waiting for that Check In button to go live, so that I could get into a low enough boarding position that I can get a window seat. Now that SW charges for bags, this kind of stress isn't worth it. Next business trip, I want an airline that lets me pre-select my seat.

After another long day of working the conference, we went back to La Jolla for dinner (pizza and ice cream!) and then walked in the sand down to the Scripps pier and back. #Seascape #Sunset #CrepuscularRays #EastCoastKin

We're living through unfathomably terrible times for civil rights and human rights. If you've got the chance to vote in a primary this year, I recommend voting for the furthest left person on your ballot. The "centrists" are not ready for these times and will bargain away our rights.

Just got an email from HR saying that they're reducing the amount the university will contribute to our retirement funds, due to budget cuts. Of course, the president of the university got a $200,000 raise. 😐

I had a free afternoon, so I went with a coworker on a whale and dolphin spotting tour. No whales, but lots of dolphins! Also, I guess we strayed into Mexican waters, as when I checked my messages, I had one from Verizon that said WELCOME TO MEXICO! They'd better not charge me.

"May I have your name?" the faerie said. "William," she said with a smile. "Ah ah!" The faerie gave a wicked laugh. "I have your name! Now no-one will call you by it!" "Thank you," she said. "To win it back, you must- what?" "I will find me a new one," she said, "one that suits me better."

BREAKING: Mamdani and Lander will cross-endorse. The partnership, which is being announced one day before early voting begins, would effectively turn Mamdani and Lander into something of a joint entry. They hope that one of them will eventually accumulate many of the other’s votes as a result.

I'm on my way to the Senate floor to talk about the assault on my colleague, Senator Alex Padilla. This is a horrifying moment in our nation’s history.

I continue to be amazed at anyone surviving the India Dreamliner crash--and by this guy being seated in seat 11A. Typically, the closer you are to the front of the plane, the more doomed you are in a crash. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...
