Billionaire techies back Matt Mahan's run for CA governor - San José Spotlight Billionaires and tech moguls are spending mountains of cash to catapult San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan to the front of the race for California governor.

I thought Mahan was the tech guys' pick. sanjosespotlight.com/billionaire-...

The Woman in the Window (1944)

Holy shit, it wasn’t your imagination.

Look at this poll.

New Gudelunas Strategies numbers show Xavier Becerra surging, the same momentum we’ve been seeing online.

Not a top-tier poll, but still, the direction is clear: Becerra is rising fast after Swalwell dropped out.

Keep the polls coming!

Painting of a woman in a very dramatic pose with a leg kicking up and the back of her hand on her forehead, "woe is me" style. Her other hand is holding a screen that is divided into red, orange, black, and yellow Mondrian-style boxes. The woman is in tones of black and white, and the background is blue.

Congratulations Secretary Becerra.
Let's do this! 💙 #ImvotingBecerra

I need to stop recharging my gong on my nightstand.

Xavier Becerra - Build, Protect, and Lead California We have to fight to make it possible for all of us to have the California Dream, and that’s why I’m running for Governor.

I will vote for Porter if I must. I will vote for Steyer if I must. But who I want to vote for is the most qualified, serving California for several decades without the need for fame and praise. Do not rule out Xavier Beccera. Pick the best, don’t settle for less based on polls to this point.

Every woman named Karen right now:

one reason you dont elect racists is they think “it will be so easy” to win a war in the middle east based on nothing more than what they believe is their superior dna

I have extremely mixed feelings about paying my taxes, I can tell you that much.

Judy Garland is lovely in a cream and green silk(?) wrap patterned with vines and leaves and whatnot. Peter Lawford and Fred Astaire are also there.

This robe is a dream.

Today marks one solid year of #sobriety for my husband. Our lives have gotten so much better. I'm filled with hope and gratitude. And we're off to a #NoKings march — what a way to celebrate the day.

I did it! See you tomorrow.

Senate Democrats had quite the week: The shoved Mike Lee and the SAVE Act into a locker and then won the DHS funding showdown. Not bad.

The rose did all the work!

A dropping rose bloom, viewed from the side. If you are weird like me, you can see a forehead and a nose and an open mouth in the petals.

This rose has a profile. #flowers #dtsj #SanJose

An image of a (let's say Florsheim) men's shoe with that is clearly too big for the foot inside it. The pants are blue pinstripe, the socks have red stripes. Below the shoe is the word UNFIT.

I made a plan for a poster. Now I just have to figure how to turn it into something I can hold on a stick.

one thing a whole lot of us struggle with at times is feeling isolated and depressed and like not enough people care about what’s going on and I really cannot emphasize enough that going to a no kings protest helps this feeling a lot

there are so! many! people! who hate all of this shit

Isn't that the plot of The Puducers?
