thanks, i am looking forward to faking some sports knowledge. i do like that a lot of the clues have hints so you can approach from a couple directions

Oh that's a great tip—guess I'll have to learn some sports things

I am in the Rookie League this season and defense is kind of a mystery to me! Do you have any tips? I guess it'll be easier once anyone in my league has a question history.

everyone should get the kind of corrective against US imperialism and that i got as a kid.

thanks, mom! (and i hope you never find me online.)

Agree!

Where did I say it’s any kind of conspiracy? I said Lurie should not mischaracterize what happened, and I stand by that. He is a public official and should correct the record after making a mistake.

I deny that there was a group of people. There was one woman who is mentally unstable and a bigot, and the rest of the crowd tried to drown her out. Antisemitism is a problem, including in left spaces, but Lurie should not mischaracterize what happened.

Thank you for including a female in a photo. My dad is obsessively into birding and used to refer to my little sister as a hooded merganser when she was a toddler and her hair was… like that. But I’d only ever noticed the males with hoods! One of my childhood mysteries is solved.

Congratulations to the teachers and paras!!! And a huge thank you to the principals, admins, custodians, and other staff whose sympathy strike put added pressure on the district.

That sucks! It shouldn’t be that way

I left teaching because I couldn’t figure out how to do it and afford housing in SF. SFUSD paid way less than neighboring districts despite being in a more expensive city.

Pay teachers more! So many have already left due to low pay and the SFUSD payroll fuckup that caused missed paychecks.

Did you know that you can join the picket? It’s led by UESF and SEIU, but you can show up at a school site and they’ll give you a sign. I joined for about an hour on my way to work.

This is also how I feel about reviewing LLM-written code that the author did not carefully validate

it’s what a rebutler does

I grew up riding around with a machete in the car. Not loose! In a shoebox on the floor, for fighting back when the forest tries to reclaim the path. Nobody ever let me hold the machete :((((((

You’re looking at a bill from the 2023-2024 legislative cycle—the numbering starts over every 2 years. I changed the years in the URL to 2025-2026 and found it: leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNa...

My wife has just promised to include “Survived by her wife and past lovers of all genders” in my obit

If you are ever in Seattle, Skalka’s entire menu is khachapuris and I loved it. I can’t judge authenticity but it tasted so good

My library subscribes to newspapers, journals, and magazines that you can read online if you log in with your library card number. If my card was deactivated, I wonder if I’d lose access to those

The only things that have worked for me are (a) scheduling a regular time with another person and (b) having a show that I only allow myself to watch on my phone from the elliptical at the gym. I hope you find a strategy that works for you!

I can’t remember which night I went to. Guess it’s time to hit up setlist.fm

That sounds about right. There was more than one show in a row, and I went to one of them. Did you also go?

Extra thanks to the bartender who got me stuff from the kitchen after it closed when my blood sugar got too low during a Xiu Xiu set in 2004. I was bad at being an adult, and she helped me get through.

This is so sad! I saw so many great shows here, and I didn't realize how few non-LiveNation/Ticketmaster venues are left in SF.
