To me, Prop 50 means that both democratic leadership and the party's voters are on the same page. They proposed and we delivered. It won't be the last time.

Sometimes technology can still be good.
California hasn’t issued an emergency plea for the public to conserve energy, known as a Flex Alert, since 2022. Experts credit much of the progress to a surge in battery energy storage systems in recent years.
California invests big in battery energy storage — and leaves rolling blackouts behind
Batteries that pair with clean solar and wind energy or just bolster electrical grids in general have completely taken off and are making a big difference on the California grid.

Someone I know described how they used an AI chatbot with a verbal interface during podcasts to look things up.
That would drive me insane. To know that some percentage of what it told me was just nonsense. I couldn't listen to that.

I care more about policy than symbols so tearing down the White House is a 'meh' for me. But it's more disturbing the longer I think about it.
Kristi Noem’s new private jets. A shocking White House demolition. The Trump administration’s gilded priorities are clear.
What shutdown?

The replies are pretty interesting. What I'm getting is that we haven't caught up to this era yet. I think we'll get there, though.
Someone doesn’t remember how badly going to a video store sucked, and just generally how much worse things were in the 90s-2000s. Oh, it doesn’t work perfectly? Sometimes they just didn’t have the thing you wanted. We live in an era of unprecedented media abundance and it’s has spoiled us rotten.
I would laugh if this wasn't so true 😭

It’s very hard to beat the Powell Hyde Cable Car line for this purpose! Not a bus, however. For buses: the 48, 44, 52, and 36 all go to the same corner of Portola and Woodside, and from there you can walk downhill in all cardinal directions through totally different and cool places.

I see an inflatable Kenny in that article. And if ICE would like to do the funniest thing ever, I have a suggestion....
President Trump has used apocalyptic language to describe Portland, Oregon. Some demonstrators protesting ICE are responding with colorful animal suits. “It was just to contrast the narrative that we are violent extremists. The best way to show that for me is being in a frog costume.”

Yesterday, it asked me twice to upgrade my trip then followed up with some gamification nonsense.
Bitch, if I want to travel somewhere and I need you, I'll let you know.
