data.table is so easy to use and doesn’t keep rethinking the dcast vocabulary I learned so long ago

I had to go to a few stores before finding the orange concentrate we needed for kinderpunch

I picked this up from my public library a few months ago. Enjoyed it.

Some of the events are likely free and kinda fun. As a kid in Long Beach in 84 my parents drove us to Mission Viejo to watch the road bike race because it was free. Enjoyed it, but i wouldn’t spend a lot to go to the stadiums

I didn’t see any in Avalon this summer whereas I saw a few each time I was there during the Biden years

at least it gave someone for Kiké to make fun of during his victory speech

Can Elon Musk join?

Grateful to spend two days on the Klamath watching chinook, liberated by dam removal, return to streams from which they’d been precluded since the Titanic sank. Fish are everywhere, in numbers that stagger the mind & locations that biologists figured would take years to repopulate. Too beautiful.

Has @alyankovic.bsky.social weighed in on the “Rye or the Kaiser”?

My parents and brother drove thru here 5 minutes before it closed on way to a family reunion in SD

Shohei Ohtani is the first player with 3 homers and 10 strikeouts as a pitcher in a game

Reg or post

Even president Grant’s sons wouldn’t do that

Depressing stuff

time to nationalize spacex and star link. we've nationalized more than that in US history

Sex wax, it’s a surfboard wax that really smells like coconut

Mine too. It’s not as bad as it could be, but it’s not a pleasant experience. The music on its own is tolerable.

I'm not sure there has ever been a host of an 11:30pm U.S. network late night talk show with as firm a religious and moral grounding. The sort of person where it is impossible to imagine him flipping support Trump for pragmatic reasons. In a sense, this is why he had to go.

🚨BREAKING: Cal State LA just moved classes online and let faculty work remotely, not for a storm, not for COVID, but because ICE is in the area.

Let that sink in, an entire university is treating immigration enforcement like a public health crisis.

New @goodauth.bsky.social piece shows that ICE's popularity is plunging:

ICE's net favorability rating went from +15 in early February to -13 in late June.

And support for abolishing the agency altogether has surged since the election.

🚨NEW: When ICE raided a Californian farm yesterday, they snatched & disappeared a disabled US veteran who was in his car.

They smashed his window, peppered sprayed him & dragged him to the floor.

Listen to his wife & sister here, distraught. No-one will tell them where he is.

Remember Trump had a small bit in Zoolander and needs to keep up his image in Malaysia

The worst of America choking the best of America. Proud to be from Los Angeles.

I take it as an attack on all of us, all Californians.

Haven’t spent enough time there. But a Colorado native recently complemented me on the way I pronounce Colorado, despite only living there for 3 years in the 80s

And Zoolander

A disgusting attack on all Californians. I hope we can all see that clearly.
