Passed 3K follows, so here is something I made when the NBA Board of Govs voted to keep Kings in Sacramento.

If you forgot (or never knew) the completely insane history of the Kings in Sac, take 4 minutes to watch this and have your mind blown.

It can ALWAYS be worse. 😂

You wanna play games Texas Republican Politicians?

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Californians are voting only to allow CA to match GOP dirty district maps to counter GOP gerrymandering.

Californians, we all agree gerrymandering is bad in general but this is needed now for fairness. VOTE

Must watch on our food supplies.

I am glad this video is going viral. There's a reason I only go out to eat a few times a year and only at specific restaurants.

I have always been disappointed by Sacramento pushing trendy chefs versus entire restaurants that are farm to fork and pay living wages

DeMar is calling his agent right now saying, “I thought you said this would be a retirement home? Get me somewhere that I can rest more while on the court.”

From last night's postgame presser, Doug Christie said the starters picked up 94 feet 30% of the time. Their goal is 85%.

"30 percent is just not enough."

This is heartbreaking. Our troops & their families should never be in this position.

The Speaker must call us back to ensure our military service members including the 74,000 in WA get paid next week.

If the shutdown is impacting you, please share your story at DelBene.house.gov/shareyourstory.

New plan for Kings.

Start and play all the young guys.

Trade all the old guys for Giannis.

Thank you! It was a pretty exciting time for us when we got to keep our team.

Smartly, I didn’t waste the 5 minutes tracking down my mini beam for the game tonight in case they won. 😉

Driving a 2025 model Tesla is equivalent to driving around in your big ass pickup with three full size flags attached to the back.

You don’t get the “I bought it before it was fascist” assumptions any more.

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

FYI if you are doing mail in voting in California you need to get those in the mail asap as they may not get postmarked by Election Day if you wait too long which would make them invalid… another Trump ploy to mess with elections…

The story after this was published is fabulous. Her people strongly objected saying it mocked her and then they asked Jane and she loved it. ❤️

Dave Lack @davelack.bsky.social · 8d

Thought of this immediately this morning after reading the sad news she had passed. She was such a good person.

My very favorite Jane Goodall story is about how she befriended Gary Larson after he made a mildly offensive comic about her:
