It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

A middle school kid just came to the door dressed as "An AI Overlord." I asked if she was good or evil. "Evil, of course." I laughed and said the future was in good hands, to which she replied, "No, it's not."

Protect these kids at all costs.

California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50.

California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections.

Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

I like how Zohran Mamdani scandals are like "He called his old cousin his aunt one time" and Andrew Cuomo scandals are like "He sexually assaulted 13 women."

Just saw Frankenstein. Not really sure about the changes made to Elizabeth and William, but liked the ending. Also realized it has the same ending as Del Toros Pinocchi.

OK folks, here's the deal. Spotify is running ICE recruitment ads and has ignored asks to stop. It's time to tell them we won't stream fascism - by cancelling our subscriptions. Here's how to get started: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify

Want an example of how we're going to lose the education race by eviscerating our universities?

I've been invited to help develop a course on Water and Civilization.
To be taught to 10,000 students.
