Money first! Time second! Someone has to pack everything to get it out to the shelters and food distribution sites. Lastly, check the website for your local food bank/shelter for what THEY need.
Yesterday we talked a little bit about SNAP ending and how everyone who can, should give back to their communities. I'm going to spend a little time today talking about what to give.

Walking around your neighborhood placing Yes on 50 flyers on doorsteps helps you feel better about your own home's curb appeal.

So a guy with a sniper rifle shoots and kills detainees, and Noem claims this is violence against *ICE agents*-- none of whom were harmed?
Do I have this right?

For Epstein's birthday letter, knowing it was to be bound into a book, Trump drew an outline of a naked woman, threw a skeevy imagined conversation into the middle, then capped the letter with his "signature" signature.
His name is the pubic hair.

For years, there's been an effort to lower the legal BAC limit in Washington State from .08 to .05. It's never caught on.
We were curious of the difference. With lots of alcohol and Mario Kart 64, we discovered that it's huge (1/??).

How Many Drinks Is Too Many? An Unscientific Study.
We devised a semi-scientific experiment using 10 subjects, too much alcohol, and Mario Kart 64.

When I get to the parade hours before it starts, the streets are empty and quiet. No coffee shops are open. Lots of parking. I check in, get my radio, put on my day glo vest and a bullhorn, then I wai...

My favorite online estate sale business Kuzak's Closet closes this week with one last sale. Scrolling through the preview, themes emerged - the Warriors, Under Armor, high-end perfume and beauty products, and sports equipment. Seeing this hoodie nailed it.

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

I wanted one thing at the auction, but had to buy the whole lot to get it. Got home and the canisters weren't as exciting, but the other stuff is fire! All this for $40.
(All going to my booth at the De Anza flea market next month.)

Located the jail in Santa Ana, El Salvador where Kilmar is detained: Centro Penal de Apanteos. More progressive than any of our prison reform efforts.

Most rail services in the US still use polluting diesel locomotives. Recently, our commuter rail system in San Francisco, @caltrain.com, was electrified.
Good news: we found DRAMATIC air quality improvements once the electric trains replaced the diesels.

Crosswalk buttons in Palo Alto were hacked so that when pressed, Musk or Zuck spoke to you with unflattering to them comments. Impressive, but let's use this hack for good. Tariffs are a tax against you. If they can kidnap and ship naturalized citizens to El Salvador, you might be next.

Loved The GoGo's livestream from Coachella (and the Chappell Roan homage), so was excited when I saw Dio was playing on the Mojave stage. Yeah, totally forgot he is no longer with us. But no. Djo? The Stranger Things guy gets a stage at Coachella?

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

My daughter texted my husband with a single word. Accident. He spent the next hour going through all the eventualities of her crashing her new to her car. I texted her a bit later to ask if she was ok.
It was a butt dial.
Don't freak the old people out.
