San Jose‽! The city whose median salary is double the national average? sanjosespotlight.com/fact-brief-i...
I meant *literally* after each candidate—the bolded text only says "RECOMMEND." You (generic) really have to *hammer through repetition* or else people forget, take things out of context, + misunderstand. (It is very annoying that people do this!) DSA definitely not at fault but could be improved.
I also would not be surprised if a lot of these wealthy Pratt supporters (as has been joked) actually live in Beverly Hills or other parts of "LA" that aren't actually part of the city.
In the both the 2021 and 2025 mayoral primaries, approval voting allowed us to send the two more progressive candidates (Spencer and Jones) to the runoff—without it, it is likely the Black vote would have been split by the remaining candidates. More info: felixsargent.com/democracy/20...
Apparently this is just our government nowadays! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ x.com/TheDemocrats...
Still, I would love to keep Lake Powell, mostly because of Koyaanisqatsi! 😆
Apparently the issue with Lake Mead & Lake Powell (both artificial) is that the original water flow predictions for the Colorado River were a gross overestimate based on what ended up being a few unusually rainy decades: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorad...

I literally didn't realize until today that he apparently covered up his tattoo last fall as soon as he learned of its Nazi connotations (good!), but the only photo I can find of what it looks like now is this one random grainy shot from Mediate... (not good!) www.mediaite.com/media/news/e...
Correction, storms/tornadoes could move in earlier than 4PM, so please be ready to shelter!
Interestingly, Long Beach CA has two collection types—individual bins for residential vs. dumpsters for commercial, but their dumpsters don't seem to have the contamination issues that STL has. I am not sure if they have two different types of trucks or if the same truck can handle both bin types.
It's about exposure frequency and how much it comes up in conversation with strangers (like talking about the weather). Gas prices are one of the few costs that are prominently displayed all across the US. Most people buy groceries at least once a week. Car payments don't change over time.
I really wish the "unified" layout for the Phone app in iOS 26 let you customize which three tabs appeared here! For me, the three I need are Calls + Keypad + Voicemail (rather than Contacts), especially since the search button lets me search my contacts anyways.
