This made me cry!! "I'm gonna ask my friend the President to join me." I miss the days when Obama was our President! When our President was articulate, charming, well mannered, and most importantly a safe person to have around a classroom of children. Also can Mayor Mamdani be everyone's mayor?

AHHHHH!

thanks for asking, the objective answer is Andre the Giant in The Princess Bride
Not to mention that like... why do they need that space? It's not as if we're preventing them from getting the necessities of life, like they are with us.

I will once again posit you could win with >70% if the vote with the simple "Police settlements come out of their pension fund, not the city funds" policy.

i am always saying this!! adoption is designed to solve the problem of childless adults, not the problem of parentless children.
Photo of a bunch of cut out light wood pieces with prints of bunnies made of bread (bun buns). My fingers are holding up one that has its back turned and giving off a sulky feeling

Elementary, my queer Watson.

The first panel shows a crow with the title "How to live a good life". The second panel shows a crow cawing at itself in the mirror with the subheading "Make friends". The next panel says "Explore" and shows a crow looking into a commercial waste bin. The next says "Try new things" with a crow eating something vile. The next one says "Be curious" and shows the crow grabbing a hissing cat's tail". The final frame says "Get a hobby" and shows the crow looking closely at a book of matches.

A picture of a rather dilapidated copy of "The picture of Dorian Gray" There is visible water damage to the cover and the plastic cover is yellowing. Obviously, not evident from the picture but there is a truly foul musty smell emanating from it!
Last week, a gentleman returned this rather dilapidated copy of this famous book to us after 50 years. He had found it in his attic!
Presumably this means there is a pristine copy somewhere in our libraries....

Doodle of a gross ai data center spewing out pollution. Text says “… Than an ai data center”
Fellow San Jose/South Bay residents, ai data centers are coming for us, but we still have a chance to stop them!
Ilovesanjose.org has a petition and a prewritten email to send to the city council. Let’s stop them before they build anything.
Good Tuesday, everybody!🥰
