First time calling this out on Bluesky, but just felt both a 3.4 tremor followed by a 3.2 tremor that happened two minutes apart on the Hayward fault. Epicenter was, in fact, in Hayward. #earthquake earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

Didn't really watch the Super Bowl yesterday, but I did tune in at halftime to see Kdot 🔥 and caught some ads. An interesting tidbit I read regarding SB advertisement was the drop in celebrity endorsements. From 2020-2024 it steadily rose, peaking at 77% last year. This year it dropped back to 54%.

Insight on Elon that aligns with what many have seen with him over the years. Tl;Dr - He's not so much a "white supremacist" or "eugenicist" as he is a "narcissist" who will align himself with whatever best suits his personal agenda (i.e., opportunistic racism). m.facebook.com/story.php?st...

Odd, ridiculous, but worth the scroll 😅

There's an old anecdote, often referred to as "The Nazi Bar," which tells the story about how a bartender sees a person, otherwise circumspect, wearing something (insignia, old SS jacket, etc) and asks them to leave.
