Folks this morning talking about not wanting vehicles to go back to the '70s, and of course they're right, but the Datsun 620 pickup truck makes a strong counter-argument.

My #CWC25 fantasy strategy of dropping anyone playing in Columbo is continuing to pay off. Go ZomBuns!

2/2 This is a picture from California Memorial Stadium after the seismic retrofit in 2017. It's a little difficult to see, but they painted in the fault line.

It is within _feet_ of this morning's quake. Great job, Go Bears.

Havin some fun in Berkeley this morning.

This is the USGS map of this morning's small earthquake (1.7). The epicenter seems to be under the north endzone of Memorial Stadium.

(It was really small - I only felt it because I live nearby.)

Place near me (Berkeley CA) still has Marys patches with CBN. Don't know if it's old stock or only available in CA, but if this is the right stuff, it's showing as in stock.

I asked Claude to proofread something for me, and the response was how smart and funny I am and how my friends are lucky to have me and holy hell, the dopamine response is crazy and I want more of that SO MUCH.

My social media experience got a lot better when I (mostly) stopped rage quoting. Shouting "fuck these fuckers" doesn't drive engagement, but it has the exact same practical effect and it gives me more time to hang out with not-my-cat.

STILL not my cat

When describing Libertarians, it's hard to choose between the house cats tweet and the car seat tweet.

They're full of promises, but the checks never show up.

Also,one of my favorite signs today:

This was my sign for today. Handed it off to the most uncomfortable looking person I could find before I left. I hope my fellow introvert got good use out of it. #NoKings #Oakland

I DID BOTH!

No Kings, Yes Cricket!

A couple favorite signs from today's No Kings protest in Oakland

Found these in the back of a drawer a couple weeks ago. Too cringe to wear today or not cringe enough?

Why does the country have to collapse when I have sports ball tickets?

Also, it's a beautiful night for cricket here in Oakland CA, and I never thought I'd get to say that.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs.

(“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)

There are a few movies I've seen that many times, but I never pass up a chance to use this gif.

"When did you get a cat?" I hear you asking. I didn't.
