Waymo is now in Denver. I assumed that since they don’t have drivers, they go to some kind of a Waymo garage with an attendant that plugs them in to Waymo charging stations. This is going to be rough if we have to compete with them in addition to all the other EVs at public charging stations.
A parking lot scene with two electric vehicles parked side by side while charging. One car is a white Waymo equipped with roof-mounted sensors and cameras, the other is a blue Ioniq5. In the background 2 more white Waymos can be seen waiting to charge. Further in the parking lot is a shopping plaza and mid-rise buildings visible under a cloudy sky, with people walking nearby.

So I wanted to see where this was and somehow didn’t realize the PNW was all on fire 🫠

The map is filled with flame icons in red, orange, and gray, indicating active fire incidents across states including Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, and surrounding areas. The interface shows options for layers, location tracking, and the legend, with a search bar at the bottom.

When you forget that you are wearing your leggings that match your dog to your workout and then take your dog for a walk in the neighborhood… new neighbors probably thinking I’m always matching my dog

Anyone else ever attend @24hourplays.bsky.social events? I’ve been going since 2018 (maybe earlier) and damn are they impressive. I always prefer the musicals and tonight didn’t disappoint. Brilliant work by all but my fave had to be the last one, a brilliant ode to West Elm.
A group of performers stand in a line on stage, smiling and applauding during the curtain call of The 24 Hour Musicals. The stage is warmly lit, with a cozy living room set behind them featuring a couch, bookshelves, and a round coffee table. Above the scene, musicians are visible playing from a balcony. A projected sign reads “The 24 Hour Musicals.” A young girl in a bright pink fuzzy jacket stands at the front of the group, adding a playful pop of color.

Double #theater feature today.

Saw John Proctor is the Villain matinee which was fantastic - a lot of young folks in the audience today and wow did they have some big reactions, I’m sure the cast loved it!

Tonight saw Death Becomes Her - they really managed to pull off a lot of amazing stunts.
A mezzanine audience view of a theater stage set for the musical “Death Becomes Her,” with purple and blue lighting and a backdrop of shimmering curtains. The show’s title glows in stylized letters at center stage. In the foreground, a Playbill for the production is partially visible, showing artwork of two hands holding a glowing potion bottle.

Focusing on the positive today - check out this amazing to go container for tacos from a local fish restaurant. Need our local Mexican restaurant to get one of these.
A hand is holding a light beige to-go container designed for carrying tacos. The container has three individual compartments with rounded tops, viewed from the side. In the background, there’s a marble countertop and a planter filled with various succulents.

Visited a sushi restaurant restroom in NYC and am still confused. Do we think people were using this as a bidet?!
A small white ceramic sink with a silver faucet is mounted on a tiled wall. Above the sink, there is a sign that reads “HAND WASH ONLY” in black capital letters on a gold background. To the right of the faucet, there is a bottle of pumpkin cinnamon-scented foaming hand soap with a black pump dispenser. Two dark-colored pipes run vertically along the wall behind the sink. The image has a pinkish-red tint.

TIL so much at our ski rental. We compost so I don’t usually use a garbage disposal but wow who knew?
A printed sign titled “THE DIRTY DOZEN - Garbage Disposal Guidelines” lists twelve common waste items that should not go down the garbage disposal to avoid straining it. The prohibited items include bones, pits, coffee grounds, stringy vegetables, potato peels, nuts & seeds, fats/oils/grease, lemon/lime peels, pasta/rice/oatmeal, crab/lobster shells, eggshells, and harsh chemicals. The sign also advises using cold water when running the disposal. The sign is placed in a clear plastic stand on a kitchen countertop with a dish soap bottle visible in the background.

Woke up to a foggy morning in San Diego…seems to be clearing up and looking forward to a week in SD and LA full of family, friends and sun.
A serene backyard setting featuring a tiled patio with lounge chairs and a small table surrounding an infinity pool. A foggy backdrop obscures the distant hills, creating a tranquil and dreamy atmosphere. Palm fronds frame the top of the image, and a vibrant ceramic planter with a lush succulent is in the foreground. The morning or evening light casts a soft glow over the scene.

Fantastic date night in the city for Shit.Meet.Fan tonight - the show was literally laugh out loud funny with such a talented cast. The extended run closes on December 15th so only a few shows left.
Orange program with Shit Meet Fan (show name) and a cellphone and a splashing liquid on the cover with theater seating and stage for the show in the background. Stage is blurry and has a staircase going straight up on the left a camel colored sectional couch in the middle and a chair with a pillow on the right.

Never have I seen a more unintentionally appropriate license plate
Through a window with rain a White Toyota sedan is visible with brake lights on in the dark with a very damaged back bumper and a NY license plate reading “ITS OVER”

Being a Jewish immigrant from the USSR means we celebrated New Years instead of Hanukkah growing up. Basically a secular Christmas. My parents still have a New Years tree so coming to San Diego to surprise my mom for her birthday means I got to help decorate this year! WIP plus some fave ornaments
A decorated Christmas tree stands tall in a spacious living room with high ceilings and large windows. The tree is adorned with colorful ornaments, including baubles, figurines, and a striking red and gold topper. Softly glowing lights in red and white add a festive ambiance. Surrounding the tree are classic home furnishings, including a dining table and chairs, creating a cozy and elegant holiday scene. A unique Santa Claus ornament posed in a yoga tree pose, wearing a red tank top, silver yoga pants, and a classic red Santa hat. The ornament is detailed with a serene expression, emphasizing a playful holiday twist. A retro-style ornament of a woman wearing a bright red fringed dress, holding a glittery gold purse. The ornament features bold details, including a painted face with dramatic makeup, and hangs on the Christmas tree with festive greenery in the background. A vintage-style red truck ornament carrying a snow-covered Christmas tree in its bed. The tree is decorated with multicolored lights, and the truck is dusted with a hint of faux snow, creating a rustic holiday charm.

Me: do you guys have mocktails?
Bartender: of course we have a whole list
The list:

The text is printed in a clean, minimalistic font on a light-colored background.

If you would like to avoid one of “those” relatives at your next holiday gathering might I suggest a dress, scarf or other piece of merch from @tlduryea.bsky.social? Worked like a charm tonight!

I bought my first set of “fancy” noise cancelling headphones when @unity.com gave us our WFH funds during COVID. They had started to fall apart a few months ago and I was dreading getting a new pair when I realized I could just replace the cushions! $34 and this WIP now looks good as new.
A pair of disassembled Bose noise-canceling headphones lies on a grey bedspread, exposing the internal components. An instruction manual is visible in the background, displaying diagrams and steps for removing earcup cushions and replacing scrims. The headphones rest on a light gray surface, with the instructions providing context for maintenance or repairs.

I may or may not have been a volunteer clown in said parade
A person dressed as a clown stands under a tent, wearing a colorful outfit with a crocheted sweater, a red curly wig, oversized holiday light-up glasses, and a bright red polka-dotted tie. The background features other event attendees and signage for a radio pickup station. The festive and cheerful atmosphere is highlighted by the playful costume details.

I have been using Dr. Bronner’s soap for years to make my own products and decided to try their chocolate when I saw it on Thrive Market. So glad I did and that I decided to read the inside of the wrapper - what an incredible story! We need more brands investing in communities like this.
Inside of a chocolate bar wrapper image of trees and people at top and this copy in 3 columns: A (Magic) story about people & planet and growing cocoa right. When we learned that many of the 800 farmers in our Regenerative Organic Certified Serendipalm project in Ghana also grew cocoa, it seemed the perfect opportunity to work towards creating a Regenerative Organic Certified chocolate - a chocolate good for farmers, the planet, and you. So our team on the ground partnered with farmers to improve the health and productivity of existing cocoa trees through pruning and thinning, while introducing dynamic agroforestry - the integration of complementary trees and other profitable crops alongside the cocoa - in the planting of new orchards. Dynamic agroforestry creates biodiversity, offers farmers more security by improving yields and diversifying marketable products, and avoids the use of toxic chemicals by imitating the way plant species naturally support each other in a healthy tropical forest. Soil in this regenerative system is more resilient, contains more nutrients, holds water better, resists erosion, and mitigates global climate change by capturing more carbon. An abundant world with fertile soil, thriving farm communities, reduced global warming, and delicious dark chocolate. We call that Magic. In tiny font at the bottom: Dr. Bronner’s was founded in 1948 by Emanuel Bronner, a third-generation soapmaker who suffered the loss of both parents in the Holocaust, conceived a vision of humanity beyond religious & ethnic divides, and used the labels on his superb ecological soaps to spread his All-One! message. Now led by grandsons David and Michael, Dr. Bronner’s continues to operate as an engine for positive change.

How insane is this build? Not sure if this is also called scaffolding but I’ve never seen anything like it.

In the city to see Walden today and got to enjoy brunch and a tour of the stage before the show. Never realized just how much went into staging and the level to which the characters are analyzed as the stages are designed. Second Stage Theater is truly the best.

Oh what a night! Everything really fell into place here, from someone in my canvassing group having access to VIP passes to our randomly matched driver being down to drive 2hrs to the rally and back home to RI post rally and drop us in CT.
