I wasn't involved with the project
Giovanni's on Shattuck Ave.
Had this great warm focaccia and a big circular fireplace; the wife and I ducked in there to warm up on rainy days when we were first dating.
(Honorably mention: Edie's, also on Shattuck, and their shake-like Alaskan Root Beer, the secret of which seems lost to time)

please tell me about your favorite lost restaurant (closed for at least 5 years, like I really want you to go back into the vault), why you loved it and what you ate there

Those of you who still insist on drawing a distinction between ICE and police should be aware that the police are not drawing that distinction.
Thank you for telling us you neither serve nor protect. Thank you for saying the quiet part out loud. That was state murder in broad daylight, captured from multiple angles by multiple witnesses, and the people of Minneapolis have eyes.
You support murder.
You support murder.

it is terrifying and awful that this passed the House with any Dem support at all (and once again, the continued leadership support for Cuellar is unconscionable)
call your senators and make absolutely sure this dies in the Senate, lives are on the line
trans people deserve so much better

Henry Cuellar, Don Davis, and Vicente Gonzalez joined Republicans in voting to criminalize trans health care.
The bill passed only 216 to 214.
4 Republicans voted no. If they did too, it would have failed.

Sean Duffy on slashing fuel economy standards: "This rule will actually allow you to bring back the 1970s station wagon. Maybe a little wood paneling on the side. We can bring back choice to consumers."

What game made you fall in love with video games?
As a kid, I was enthralled by tales of knights (King Arthur & co. in particular) as well as The Hobbit, and then a friend had the first Wizardry and it was like, "Here, you can (kinda sorta) 'be' all that..."

What if the A.I. bubble “is an inevitable part of developing and adopting a revolutionary tool that will fundamentally improve productivity and growth?” Mohamed El-Erian writes.
Opinion | A.I. Is a Bubble. Maybe That’s OK.
Investors’ excitement rightly reflects the potential transformation of the entire economy.

Uh hey, a heads up:
This is probably a good time to make sure that you go into settings on your profiles and make sure that "autoplay video" is turned off. Setting labels like 'violence' to "hide" or "don't show" is likewise a good idea if you don't want to see the TPUSA shooting by accident.

Randomly getting ‘down in front’ passes to Metallica/Guns ‘n’ Roses/Bodycount Day on the Green because we happened to be in the shortest line (i.e. farthest from the BART offramp) waiting to get in so we were in this little fenced-off area right at the stage and spared from the customary sod fight

Probably Wizards - which I didn't even actually like when I saw it (and still don't really care for). But we were all JUST getting into D&D and weird sci-fi and whatever, and Wizards said other people weren't merely into this stuff, they were *making films of it* so we should maybe Go Find All That
