I went to school in an affluent Detroit burb (I lived in an adjacent town) with Hayley, though we didn't know each other. I do live on the West Coast now, though I have yet to own any car nicer than a Toyota Corolla. Unlike Hayley, who drove a Lincoln Towncar in high school. Who's the elite again?
He ordered his food and went to stand in the corner. By the time we'd ordered he was gone.
Ube truffles from Cafe 86 (in Socal and I guess spreading elsewhere) are amazing, though kind of expensive.
An Italian ad for Disney's Daredevil: Rinascita (Born Again) on a bus stop in Rome. Photo by me earlier this week. Of course, the question is how much longer will the US be such a powerhouse as we give up all our soft power?
Tell us again that there aren't enough Bluesky users, Musk's app yields so much more clout!
The solution to having drugs around that your want to dispose of safely is... to take them to the police station? That group of people that's best known for carrying guns and helping the fascist federal government that's making up reasons to kidnap, wrongfully imprison, and deport people?

I emailed my senator, @padilla.senate.gov, asking him to fight the Nazis running the government and abolish ICE. His garbage response is provided here. I responded that if this is the best he can do, he should step down and let someone who will actually fight facsism take his place. #AbolishICE
Thank you for the reporting but why is @popular.info aligned with/promoting Substack? A site that has repeatedly been the subject of news pieces proving it promotes fascist ideology for its own gain?
The Duck Duck Go mobile browser lets you block up to 5 sites from showing up in search results
Working on getting the reservations I had for Hilton Hotels canceled after this: www.msn.com/en-us/news/u... I have a conference coming up and looks like I will be able to stay at an Intercontinental instead.
Just realized from Clearsky this guy didn't like that I blocked him so put me on a list claiming I'm a "bot/concern troll". Even the nuclear block on this app isn't sufficient...
The Duck Duck Go mobile browser does have AI "features", but they're easy to turn off. And what it does give you is the ability to block up to 5 sites from showing up in search results. Mine as if right now:
post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, or alice in chains.
I’m down the street from UCLA and a parking enforcement car literally just slowly drove past this Bentley in front of me, without stopping. Don’t tell me LAPD needs more tax money.
