I took a job at a tech company that turned into a movie studio.
Happy Carl Sagan’s Birthday.
I like to take this time once a year to refresh the inspiration I get from this beautiful piece of writing that Sagan left us.

Meanwhile in Russia: state TV host Evgeny Popov says that Trump is doing Moscow's job by ripping apart the Western world — whipsawing right through it, the way Russia always wanted to. Popov says that it's truly amazing.

Just had a sample of the Eaton Fire ash that is in my driveway run on the department XRF. Is there titanium (new house paint)? Yup. Lead (old house paint)? You betcha. Heavy metals? Check. Treat that ash like it's toxic folks (because it is)

The opening of a Walmart Supercenter leads to an increase in local poverty rates.
This increase in poverty rates persists for 10 years following the Supercenter’s entry.
Increases in poverty are particularly strong for younger, less-educated, and lower income adults.

I was thinking of what Mary Austin said about the 1906 earthquake and fire that destroyed a lot of my city. And send love.

Los Angeles, I see you. I see your tears, your generosity, your creativity, your beautiful mutual aid. You were never an old or stable city; you were a city of invention and imagination and change. You are maybe right now you are your best as well as most devastated self. 1906 account.

Gavin Newsom launched a website to combat the wildfire disinformation spreading about Los Angeles, because people can’t be bothered to do a simple Google search before sharing nonsense. And because people suck!

In his opening speech, Speaker Mike Johnson just recited a long prayer attributed to Thomas Jefferson.
As @jackjenkins.me and others have pointed out, Jefferson never said any of this: www.monticello.org/research-edu...

Pathetic seeing people take Elon's DOGE BS seriously.
People dislike government in the abstract but like most of the things it does.
And we've been cutting gov for decades. Fed workforce is about half of what it was 50 years ago relative to population. There's not much meat left on the bone.

At SFO, Santuario by Juana Alicia and Emmanuel Montoya. I helped carve the birds. It is the most significant piece of art I’ve worked on in the physical realm. It went up in 2000, since 2001 you need a passport and international ticket for a gate in the same security zone to see it. (SFO gate G8)
