I've read that the Bay Lights are due to return to the Bay Brudge this year. I hepe this updated installation is built for longevity, so that it can become a standard feature of the bridge. Also, the western span needs its own lights, and maybe some nice red ones on the Golden Gate...

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

The Latino protesters waving the Mexican flag in protests in LA are more justified – and frankly more American – than those who carried confederate traitor flags into Congress on Jan 6th.

An under-remarked detail here is that the protests yesterday weren't IN the city of Los Angeles, but in Paramount where the LAPD doesn't work. So of course the LAPD is saying this about protests IN LOS ANGELES, which weren't the protests everyone saw on TV.

ICE is a much greater threat to this country than illegal immigrants. The current administration ia by far the greatest threat this country faces. The problem is not st our borders. It is in the White House.

Anecdotal, but I'm definitely noticing an uptick in advocacy for violence here. About which I'll say only this: Promoting violence on social media is the work of trolls and fools, those eager to bait others into implicating themselves in the age of surveillance or fools rushing to the gulag.

I see a lot of people assuming that the LAPD's statement about not getting involved is valid, taking it at face value. I think that unwise.

This is a BSG quote I've thought about a lot in recent years, as French law enforcement has become increasingly militarized, and I found myself and my son gassed during a completely peaceful and quiet protest (for a social subject).

Been seeing a lot of "Raspberry Pis are terrible!" comments in the Pi feeds, and frankly think it's kind of weird. Pis work great! If a Raspberry Pi seems terrible to you, either it's the wrong computer for the task, or you're letting frustration with Linux convince you it's the hardware's fault.

💥 BREAKING: Ukrainian drones flew out of grain train car hatches and destroyed 13 Russian tanks and more than a 100 armored vehicles and other equipment being transported by the Russian train in occupied southern Ukraine. The hatches appear to have been opened by remote control, again.
