Looking at past authoritarian and concentration-camp regimes around the world, it wasn't always possible to tell in the moment what crisis or challenge to despotism would gain traction and trigger vast consequences. We should celebrate Boasberg and the appeals court judges demanding accountability.
District Judge Boasberg and federal appellate judges deserve our thanks for not simply shrugging and letting the Trump regime get away with defying a court order regarding their cruel and illegal fights to El Salvador..
Trump officials and judge face off over flights to El Salvador in rare, high-stakes contempt probe

Hanging out in the park with friends the other day and 6-7 came up in conversation; none of us—all seniors—knew what it meant so one friend accosted a young man passing by to ask him, and he kindly explained it to us Olds. 🤣
Just left church. Priest said the final hymn was on page 678.

Back in my college days (when I was always desperately poor) my roommate and I discovered that there was a pinball machine* in the laundromat around the corner that was so easily "tilted" we could play forever on a single quarter. Good times!

Today, on an early morning walk through my hometown, the wind delivered the scent of a pizzeria prepping for the day, and I was instantly transported to 1980, and the humid back room of Vincent’s, my best friend and I pumping the quarters we’d stolen from our moms’ purses into the Asteroids machine.

San Francisco recorded its coldest fall day since 2019 as a temperature inversion kept the city chilly — and left the Sierra unusually warm.

Okay so I am such a nerd about the #earlymodern era that at first glance I thought Plant's photo was a portrait of an early eighteenth-century worthy, resplendent in a full-bottomed wig. 🤣

This contains good enough advice but I'd still prefer to hew to the wisdom of my grandfather, who used to say "eat what you like, Scotty, in moderation."
As you prepare your feasts this holiday season, here's something to consider. Research suggests there are certain foods that can help boost our moods and make us happier in the long-run.
What foods make you happiest? It's not what you think

True story: my grandfather had a massive heart attack the day of that eruption. He lived in Portland, Oregon, where Mt. St. Helens is clearly visible on the northern horizon. He was desperately preparing his basement in case they needed to shelter there and he just overexerted himself.
The town of St Helens is just between Liverpool and Manchester. When I was a small child, in Liverpool, Mount St Helens, in Washington, erupted. Not having a grasp of geography, I spent two weeks in mortal fear of dying in a volcanic eruption before my dad set me straight.

My thermometer says 46° F and for us here in generally temperate San Francisco that's the equivalent of blizzard conditions in some other locations.
