Went to the #sealbeach pier today to walk around, met two big floofs that were the sweetest things in the world. Saw the USS Mustin that @warshipcam.bsky.social posted about, and it was also a beautiful sunset tonight.
Too tired to go through the photos but here's a taste lol

If you’re an L.A. County resident with medical debt, keep an eye on your mailbox in the coming days. The county may have erased some of it.

This is an easy one, if you have to punish people less fortunate than yourself because you think some other person is taking advantage of some sort of equalizing force, you don’t have a problem.
You’re just an asshole.

After 9 straight years with a landfalling hurricane—and a record 5 straight (2020-2024) with a major hurricane landfall—the U.S. escaped any hurricane landfalls in 2025. With the unprecedented disarray affecting FEMA and NOAA, we were extremely fortunate not to be tested by a major hurricane!

If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.
