Finally getting the good stuff on tiktok

311 plays every casino and beer fest in the central valley and actually good for them still working.

Why not? Kids can't enjoy a smooth, tasty guinness crinkle cut chips to take the edge off after a long recess?

Terrible news from Berkeley bowl

I've already passed the popeyes and Jack in the box. It's irredeemable.

It is 73° in Berkeley and I want an Oreo cookie milkshake and fried pickles and while I can I shouldn't and this is why being an adult sucks and we should dismantle the Enlightenment.

Was this one of the sweaty cowards who moved to Canada in early '24 and wanted to be applauded for bravery?

This Public Power Movement is Raising a Billion Dollar Question Who should pay to manage wildfire risk in California? As the climate gets warmer and weirder, it’s getting harder to safely move hundreds of gigawatts of electricity across millions of miles of pow…

Check out this great discussion by Meredith Fowlie @ucenergyinstitute.bsky.social about the problems that private electricity corporations have forced us to answer.

Wildfire costs are being incurred by all of us, and Meredith says balkanization of the grid from 1-by-1 public power campaigns is bad.

The fun thing about Gavin Newsom being in the spotlight is I get to rehash all my old "an unspoken but very present undercurrent in Dem politics is white progressive conflict for power with Black Mayors" takes from '20 & '24.

Wait wait did we all miss that the Beeb is doing a new Le Carre Show

I was a 20 something dirtbag with two cats in San Pedro. I watched S2 of the Wire. It is a great town.

Okay but also this accurately represents the median San Pedro resident.

Industrial food production broke a 10,000-year cycle of backbreaking toil that was far outside of our natural tolerances for stress and effort because it was the only way for large numbers of us to eat consistently, and you people still have the temerity to bitch about this.

Probably the most mostly false thing I believe is that some form of efficient markets hypothesis is true, in so far as reality must put some upper and lower bound on the prices of assets, as discovered through the socially mediated process of politics and capital markets.

He's not talking about you and I, though.

I keep thinking about the heated blog debates of "maybe the optimal inflation rate is 3%? Possibly 4?" and "counter cyclical spending won't fix exogenous shocks to economies".

The national debt leads to inflation? Wut

Just got an AI generated bull roaring and the bull had canine teeth.
