"tree equity" is the kind of thing that columnists like to make fun of when why it works is actually instantly apparent to anyone who's ever walked down a street in the summer apnews.com/article/tree...

I... just.... can't.... "unexpectedly"? really?

A quick resistance task: 1. Google Gulf of Mexico 2. “Gulf of America" is the top 3. Click on the three little dots to the right of it 4. Select "Send Feedback" 5. Click on "Gulf Of America" 6. Select "Inaccurate content" 7. Select "Incorrect" and type in "The correct name is “Gulf of Mexico"

Unbelievable what the @nytimes.com says about Trump's insanity. Boot lickers! And I KEEP unsubscribing but they keep emailing me, joy.

If you (or a kid) would like to show your support for fixing copyright law, you can get EFF’s new member shirt. Kids sizes in our store. Eff.org/steamboat.

I hate this timeline.

I just love them

SoCal friends: Many animal shelters are overwhelmed from people dropping off beloved pets they can't take with them as they flee. Please consider donating and fostering. Pasadena Humane is one such org. Contact your local animal orgs to see if they need help. pasadenahumane.org/eaton-canyon...

Someone (maybe me we'll see!) really needs to make a screenplay of this novel. Incredible. So funny. So sweetly, perfectly sad in the end. Thanks to @mcnallyeditions.bsky.social for bringing this and other great novels back to life! (Lord Jim at Home being another recent amazing one!)

I don’t think people understand how devastating the end of net neutrality, and consumer protections around internet connectivity, are going to be. Imagine the situation where you pay for 4 or 5 different streaming services, each with different “exclusives” — but for the Internet itself.

Unbelievable

I mean, we all know they are sorta fixed, right? sfstandard.com/2024/12/20/p...

It’s pretty extraordinary how you can turn the entire government over to billionaires and get called “populist” just because you resent scientists and integrated schools.

The Montana Supreme Court’s decision protecting the right to a stable climate isn’t just a symbolic victory—it’s a real, enforceable check on the state’s ability to authorize more greenhouse gas emissions. With @dahlialithwick.bsky.social: slate.com/news-and-pol...

We had a #cat in the attic for days. Bought a cage to humanely get him out. But then two hours later we found he had escaped through heavy cardboard. Cats are cray whoah. Anyway, prepping for the cat purge bow. #purge #zombies #crazycat

Wow! Great news for the Bay Area!

This is great news! ☀️ Nearly 500,000 solar panels

You either walk into the sunset a hero, or you hang around long enough to see yourself become the villain. This is a post about Nancy Pelosi.

Sometimes I go down an #Oscars rabbit hole and I still can't believe Ellen Burstyn lost for "Requiem for a Dream" - what an incredible performance.

Amen!

This will be used as a pretext for all kinds of security theater. Always ask: who benefits from increased police & military & militarized police?

Elon Musk isn’t the only self-serving billionaire nominated by Trump. Here's just 3 more corporate shills ready to sell out Americans: 1️⃣ Treasury: Scott Bessent, hedge fund CEO 2️⃣ Commerce: Howard Lutnick, billionaire CEO 3️⃣ Energy: Chris Wright, Liberty Oilfield Services CEO

the frenzy over the hunter biden pardon is a good reminder that the press knows how to make something a scandal and has decided that nothing trump does is truly deserving of that treatment

Post election has been hard as hell and I've been looking for political/non-political news that just, well, helps. Vibe Check is really honestly soothing @theferocity.bsky.social #vibecheck

What a beautiful house light display! (Oh it's my house lol - props to @d4rius.bsky.social )

Ummmm lies are not "legitimate political speech" are they?? California officials quietly set aside law on deceptive election content www.sfchronicle.com/politics/art...

"The ‘moderates’ got *their* candidate in every single election in which the Republicans nominated Trump: 2016 Clinton, 2020 Biden, 2024 Harris… and they lost to Trump two out of three times. And now they’re going to blame *the left* for that? No f*cking way." My rant:

Remember when, the Trump Administration caved to Big Pharma and broke their promise to enable Medicare drug negotiations? Do not forget it was President Biden and Democrats in Congress who actually got this done!

Any podcast recommendations? I am just not able to do my usuals anymore. Still really loving @mollyjongfast.bsky.social and @jonlovett.bsky.social but that's about it ugh. I need shit to listen to while I vacuum!!!!

Anyone else feeling like Mercury Retrograde struck early? Yesterday was truly terrible. #astrology

Great Saturday. Was up way too late. Going to get groceries. And @d4rius.bsky.social is watching spatchcock videos.

"We should be focused on bringing down the cost of housing, health care, and child care, not manufacturing culture wars.” --Sarah McBride

Giraffes need endangered species protection for the first time, according to US officials. The US Fish and Wildlife Service has proposed listing multiple giraffe species under ‘endangered’ or ‘threatened’ as their population continues to decline at rapid rates.

Atmospheric river fueling California storm is taking an unusual turn. Here are the impacts www.sfchronicle.com/weather-fore...

definitely recommend the "Easy Chair" essay in the December issue of Harper's (they aren't on here yet it seems). It's about the 1856 presidential election, when the Republicans first ran for the presidency. #goodread #magazines #Harpers

WOW! @oliverdarcy.bsky.social reports that Morning Joe is continuing to shed its audience after Mike and Joe admitted they met with Donald Trump. Good.
