Beautiful summer day at the local park in Sacramento. Delta breeze cooling off the summer heat. Everyone is out and at least 4 languages are being spoken.

This week in Davis, CA, an Elementary School principal went viral, telling off the local anti-LGBT bigot, saying "All are welcome here". In the same week Davis voted down a housing project for ~1,800 new homes in a city where homes cost a median $1M davisvanguard.org/2026/06/davi...
Davis update! It’s looking not good for Measure V, 1,800 housing unit proposal. Down 48% to 52% and today’s margins didn’t move much from Election Day returns

“No charges” being filed for a driver who killed this 7th grade boy biking in Grass Valley last week.
Yesterday I did the California YIMBY lobby day at the state capitol. Of the 10 or so of us from Sacramento a majority including myself were not originally from Sacramento. This trend of Sacramentens who were from the Bay Area continues strong still www.redfin.com/news/migrati...
Big Bradford Pear tree feel in my neighborhood during 40-50mph gusts today. Bottom tier tree does it thing again.
I’m on a podcast discord and I hate that I recognized what this meant instantly
Campaign mailed pet peeve: This IE sent mail to “The Gibson Household”. My wife did not take my last name and the mailer defaulted to the Man’s last name.

It costs over $200 to park for the FIFA World Cup Match in San Jose and will still be a mile walk from the stadium
