The seats of the 75s they use for MLB always remind me of Home Alone, which was released a year after this plane entered service.

I've no fucking clue what anyone is talking about, so I'll go back to my new game: Is it a flake of chocolate or did I drop a QFN32

I have made a decision, I'm joining the navy.

19BB Boomin Beaver tug boats, it's a very smol tug boat. Imagine the smallest tugboat then shrink it in half.

California trans rights update:
Governor Newsom signed SB 497, @scottwiener.bsky.social’s Trans Shield Expansion bill. Really good!
Also signed: AB 82 (health care privacy law for gender affirming care), SB 59/AB 1084 (transgender records privacy).

HOWEVER he vetoed SB 418 HRT non-discrimination.
