Incredible work, Harrison!

Two weeks late to this, but I'm super curious about the movie. Of all things, it was a part of the score that caught my interest!

Great day to march in #NoKings (I took the two photos below!)

If it's a simple, quick transaction, I don't mind using the phone. If it requires some thought and effort, I strongly prefer using a computer. Same goes for anything that's typing intensive or needs screen space. Using the phone just feels so cramped given the limited keyboard/screen space.

Incredible artwork! Just put in an order for one.

One of those franchises I really liked as a kid; I remember watching the show back in the early 90s (along with the time travel-themed sequel), and played both the original game (the Sega Master System version) and one of the mid-90s PC games.

"sCaRy GoAt!"

Side note: I just noticed the Goldball Sachs sign and just about cracked up during a work meeting.

Speaking personally, making position & amendment letters publicly available is a no-brainer. This should also include letters to the #CABudget committees, which don't use the portal.

Position letters have never been a transparent element of the #CALeg process. The portal can actually change that.

Honestly surprised I haven't seen Forbidden Planet yet since Trek has been such a huge part of my life. But I think that will change soon!

Shall we play a game? Professor Kenneth Payne remarks on his latest study of LLMs navigating a nuclear simulation.

The most terrifying (to put it mildly) article I've read in a long time, if not ever.

This isn't just about what a nuclear-armed AI would do. AIs are showing a deep understanding of how to use deception, rationalization & game out ice cold strategy.

And now I have this song stuck in my head... www.youtube.com/watch?v=epCN...

Trump administration announces major rollback of EPA regulations The announcement came Thursday

I may not be on social media much, but I'm still fighting the fight!

Thanks @spectrumnews1socal.bsky.social for interviewing me about the Trump Administration's regressive, pro-polluter policies! spectrumnews1.com/ca/southern-... @cleanairca.bsky.social

Yup, while the core gameplay is consistent among all three games, Spyro expanded a lot. It was even more stark when the original games game out.

Also for NST I felt like the games were different enough that achievements and trophy hunting sometimes required different strats depending on the game.

Generally, I count them as separate games. Each game has their own personality and you can see how the franchise changed over time: changes in difficulty curve, move sets, power ups, etc. Spyro Reignited and the Sly Cooper HD Collection also show that evolution, too.

Join us TONIGHT at 6:30 PM for our monthly meeting!

We'll be at our usual meeting location - the Willie's building at Roxanne's Bar and Restaurant - 1115 E Wardlow Road Road, Long Beach, CA 90807.

I always appreciate your encouragement - both in Crash Team Rumble and beyond!

Thanks, @repbarragan.bsky.social, for including me in your celebration of #HispanicHeritageMonth! And thank you for your representation of CA-44!

It's crazy that Spielberg was working on Tiny Toons Adventures and Animaniacs at the same time he was also working on Jurassic Park and Schindler's List.

Neat photo! California Plaza is one of the more underappreciated photography spots in downtown LA. Here's one I took from the opposite direction with my phone back around 2017 (unfortunately, I didn't have my camera as I was at work).

California policy vibes right now. 'Tis the end of the legislative session! And can't forget a lot is happening at local and regional governments, too! #CALeg #CAPolicy

I didn't expect to be excited about a Bubsy game in the year 2025, but yet here I am excited about a Bubsy game in the year 2025.

Has those 1989 Sim City vibes.

Blade Runner is one of my favorite movies, and the opening scene always hits home - quite literally. Vast tracts of oil refineries dot the harbor communities of LA and western Long Beach. I can't help but think my home inspired this scene (minus the flying cars, of course). #environmentaljustice

So damned proud to be represented by Senator Alex Padilla!

(Full disclosure: I worked for Alex Padilla as a California Senate Fellow in 2011-2012.)

Not going to lie - this is a particularly tough moment. And that's exactly the point - to wear us down so much that we give up and acquiesce to whatever comes.

But too much is on the line - we can't give up. We can't acquiesce. We need to stand up!

I get that feeling; Trek will always be home for me. With that said, my appreciation for Star Wars has grown over the years. Especially with the movie Rogue One & the shows Andor & Obi-Wan.

Even the prequel movies are being seen in a different light because of their relevance to today's politics.

#LosAngeles has the smoggiest air in the nation and is at the forefront of the climate crisis - drought, extreme heat & wildfires.

We need local leaders to prioritize #climate & #cleanair, not cut them.

And while we're at it, @mayor.lacity.gov, let's get serious about reducing port pollution!

Letters to the Editor: Regional air quality agency should use its authority to rein in smog 'The human toll of smog isn’t just numbers in a chart,' writes an L.A. Times reader. 'It’s children on inhalers, elders rushed to the ER, and lives cut short.'

CCA Deputy Policy Director, @elchaveezy.bsky.social, has been featured in the LA Times with a letter to the editor.

Read his compelling statement on the human toll of smog:
