Gah.

It is so much better for my heart when the Mariners score 3 runs in the top of the 1st.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Fleet week should always consist of a few boats from some other countries come over and you can go look at them

I'm way less tense when my team is up by a couple of runs than when my team is down a run, or (&^YO*H&GHBLY(&Y tied.

My sketchy stream for today's game seems to be hosted from NYC, if the Zohran Mamdani ads are any indication.

Philip Weiss (Phil in SF) @kingrat.us · 1d

I absolutely will

First pitch and we give up a homer? Such a familiar feeling as a decades-long #Mariners fan 🤦🏻‍♀️

The first step in the downfall of the web was when web page designers stopped making visited links purple and unvisited links blue.

This is an actual mayor going off on what is essentially his shitty startup idea.

Downtown could have "like, a 10-foot wall" where people could talk to AI versions of historical figures. "How cool would this be if we had like, a 10 foot wall. It's interactive and it's historical. And you could talk to Martin Luther King."...

i refused to use them until i found an implementation that a) wasn't device specific and b) wasn't tied to my fingerprint or face print. (password managers have since managed to do this.)

I saw more TV ads today than I have all year I think. Weirdly, I don't remember even one car ad. Pretty sure the sketchy stream I used is based out of California given the number of Prop 50 ads I saw.

Going to bed now. I'm spent.
