stolen squalor?

i don’t think he’s lactating, i think it’s a formerly rented formal shirt (maybe from a high school prom?) and that stain is a happy couch memory

medicalized wellness is not wellness
eat well, get enough fiber and water, avoid plastic and pesticides
get enough restful sleep and steps
stretch, laugh, play, question

(if you don’t get up to pee at least once on a flight, more if an ocean’s involved, you aren’t drinking enough water)

I’d love this all graphed - cost/immigrant detained, cost/immigrant deported, cost/criminal immigrant detained, cost/criminal immigrant deported, cost/right violated, cost/ and # of US citizens now worse off due to parent deportation

this S*** only thrives in the dark, where’s the light NSM

against Sunset Dunes and kinda NIMBY (as her constituency demands)…plays well in her district but I don’t see it winning the city over.

sorry but he has no credibility about…anything

if you want to discuss food science, please profile…IDK, food SCIENTISTS
or former government employees, or those who have lost jobs or grant funding, or reside in Europe, Canada, Australia, etc.

(not here, not this administration).

wouldn’t OHIO flipping be grand? 🤔
it’s a pendulum that’s been stuck for a bit too long
…and that would likely be the last we’d have to hear of JD and might even drive Elon out of politics

banana peel, staircase ?
duck hunting with Dick Cheney ?
a dinner date with Armin Meiwes ?

….she should have just responded “you’re here, close enough”
November 16, 2025 at 6:47 PM
yes. in fits mostly. one really wet day but gray/blue since. the mint is back and nasturtiums are sprouting everywhere (that’s winter here)
November 16, 2025 at 6:11 PM
as opposed to yours? really?
i know nothing about you, you know nothing about me
but smirk all you want
i’m not trying to change your mind

and yet my lived life says humans are worse
(I’d support laws eliminating robot loopholes; same road, same rules is fine by me)
and I don’t prefer Waymo (I prefer to walk, then MUNI, then BART)
i hate the buses
and wish we had better North-South public options

i work in what was once called a “safety net clinic”. I’ve had 3 patients (sharing economy drivers) with DVTs from long shifts and incentive bonuses from car services
we devalued taxi drivers two decades ago
November 16, 2025 at 2:19 AM
also, Waymo and Cruise - different
Cruise was a hot mess (now gone)
Waymo hasn’t been
Yes the empty cars are crazy - but so were the empty Ubers with tired drivers with 3 hour commutes
(peak prices have gotten crazy, no telling how bad it will be once they have a monopoly)
November 16, 2025 at 2:15 AM
i understand you have strong opinions and like videos (maybe i should film human drivers doing shitty things?)….but i have never had a Waymo almost run me over
i have a human do this at least 2x/mo
(SF drivers are far shittier than robots)
they’re an entitled bunch

Just sayin’
