palm springs PD really leaning in on that authority figure cosplay appeal

A parked Ford Explorer police vehicle. It is labeled with the words "POLICE" and "PALM SPRINGS" in several places, but is also wrapped with rainbow flags and rainbow imagery.

This is why everything sucks. It's not trans people. It's not immigrants. You are being robbed blind before your eyes and those same people also own all the tech and media networks to tell you that the cause is not them

@MorePerfectUS
U.S. billionaires reached a record breaking $7.6 trillion in wealth as of September 2025, an increase of $4.7 trillion in the less than eight years.

Most of that wealth hasn’t been taxed and won’t be taxed under our current system — per

A recent conversation has persuaded me to propose the following improved abbreviation system for days of the week, based on the unique appearance of letters in each day's prefix:
- Mon - M or O
- Wed - W
- Thurs - H
- Fri - F
- Sat - A
- Sunday and Tuesday: no unique letters, do not discuss these

this weekend i found out that our fire department has a Shark Engine! (In honor, I assume, of our local hockey team)

A fire engine decorated to look like a shark. It's mostly blue with a tooth-filled mouth painted on the front, gills on the side, and a plastic shark fin on the roof.

"Switching from LLM to Brain Use Doesn’t Fully Restore Function
- Session 4: LLM-to-Brain participants showed lingering cognitive deficiency, failing to return to their original (Session 1) brain activity patterns.
- Their neural activity remained below baseline, even after AI use was stopped."

Tasty Mediterranean cooking night! Featuring roasted skewers, delicious homemade fresh bread, and extremely convincing homemade baklava ^^

four skewers of roasted vegetables including red onion, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, roma tomato, and zucchini squash

An 8"x8" baking dish of freshly homemade baklava sliced into 16 squares. A decorative whole pistachio nut is placed in the center of each slice.

JJ Wolverine @jjwolverine.bsky.social · Aug 19

and if i smell something familiar, I am usually good at detecting it and naming what I'm smelling... but i have to experience the smell to recognize it. I can't recall it in its absence. And dom can't recall or imagine faces. Should we all be studied in a lab???

JJ Wolverine @jjwolverine.bsky.social · Aug 19

oh neat! Quizzing various friends i have noticed that most people seem to be missing at least one sensory imagination? Like i have a vivid visual memory and imagination, but i can NOT remember or imagine smells or textures. Weird twist: i CAN remember sounds very well, but I CANT imagine new ones.

So I've been on a bit of sampling kick lately, cutting up lots of disco & pop tracks in fun ways. A lil' sketch turned into a real thing over the weekend!

Definitely channeling a bit of Justice & Uppermost in this one; curious what y'all think. 💙

This weekend we got a lil tour of the Lick Observatory's antique refracting telescope! It's 150 years old and everything works electromechanically. steam punk as hell

$a photo of the Lick Observatory 36 inch refracting telescope, the second largest of its type in the world. Seen inside its 60 ton steel dome, with the weather doors currently closed. The room has teak walls and the dome and floor move on wrought iron rails.$
