If you call 707-873-7862, you'll reach a pep-talk hotline created by a group of elementary school kids in
California.

Try it.

Got food poisoning from Fogo De Chao. Puked out the side of a moving cab along beautiful Copacabana Beach. The most exotic place I'll probably ever puke!

@dens.nyc have enjoyed playing around with this, but battery consumption is out of control. Took 48% of my usage today; I only left the house once.

I haven't seen people here mention this letter from the mayor of Illinois' 2nd-largest city (Aurora, 40+% Latino)

to the Aurora Police

following egregious attacks by immigration in Aurora and related protests

So here it is!
Hello Chief and APD Leadership, I just wanted to jot a quick thank you note for those who participated in this meeting with the Latino community about ICE in our neighborhoods. Sadly, this problem is not going away anytime soon. Historically, the police have been on the wrong side of history during the civil rights movement and the labor movement - defending capital. The pivotal points in American history are when police realized that their solidarity should be with labor; not capital. Labor vs. police: Learning from working-class history Workers World In this current struggle, I believe that we are 2-3 years away from a moment where we see the shift in solidarity. I would like to see Aurora lead, and show something different. It will create discomfort during the transformation. I noticed during the march towards Blue Kangaroo, when the police escort disappeared, that activists I didn't know used their vehicles to block the intersections and protect the marchers. All living things have the capacity to evolve and grow. Government is about to go through a huge evolutionary period and shed that which is not necessary, and re-focus on what is important. As government continues to disintegrate from the top down, we have an opportunity to re-invent the ways we find food, water, shelter and protection. We would like the Aurora Police Department to play a historic role in defending the United States of America, and our city against fascism. We have a unique opportunity to do something different, leave our mark in the history books, and make a difference. I'm excited about the opportunity and look forward to discussing it further. Respectfully, John Laesch Mayor, City of Aurora laesch@aurora.il.us

Your timeline says I’m mistaken but oddly I woke up thinking I hadn’t seen you around for a while and wanting to see if you’re okay. So saying hi at least, hope all is well

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

damn consumer reports read pellegrino to filth
This is another company that started in the late 19th century but dissatisfied us despite its pedigree. In my evaluation, I wrote, β€œIt’s okay. Salty?” It’s definitely a more mineral-forward sparkling water, which the company sources from a spring in the foothills of the Alps and adds carbonation to later. Though the company says its water has a β€œslightly bitter note, which has made it famous and unmistakable throughout the world,” many of our evaluators mostly think it just tastes flat. β€œDoes this even have COβ‚‚ in it?” Catherine asks. β€œThe mouthfeel is very disappointing and unappealing.” Putting it over ice, she says, would just be β€œsad.” This sparkler’s best setting is as a palate cleanser alongside an espresso. The water is sipped before and after drinking the espresso, in order to cleanse the palate and allow the flavor of the espresso to shine. Lacey says that this β€œbarely carbonated” water is β€œfor a beginner, maybe a child who doesn’t want their water β€˜spicy,’” or prickly and intense. Otherwise, we’d say it’s safe to skip.
