Don't worry, I can be angry about lots of things at the same time.

I've been laughing at her outfit all day. Is she trying to look like a barrister hoping people will take her seriously? Please let someone convince her she needs to adopt the wee wig too.
Jeanine Pirro at this morning's briefing wearing a black suit and white blouse, the blouse has a voluminous tied neckline. British barrister wearing a black coat with a white blouse. the blouse has a tied neckline slightly less voluminous than Pirros. He's also wearing a little wig that covers only the very top of her head.

Just a little redecorating, Bari making sure CBS is on trend.

When I saw this quote from a former Seal about Mitch Bradley my reaction was that he clearly means it as a complement, that if Bradley is the best of them, it's really just an indictment of the Seals as a whole.
“If there has ever been a SEAL who is above reproach, it’s Mitch,” Mr. Cooper added. “I have yet to meet a finer person, much less a finer SEAL.”

Engardio was an engaged and effective supe. I pass things every day that he got fixed, or improved, or added. This is who Lurie thought should replace him? He’s dead to me.

I found this bit from Joe Eskanazi’s story on it telling:
missionlocal.org/2025/11/the-...
"She was, in fact, the only supervisor appointee in at least the last 30 years to come with zero experience in either government or politics. Alcaraz’s first hire as an aide was not a deeply experienced wrangler of government to hoist her up a legislative mountain — someone like Mike Farrah, Bill Barnes, Sunny Angulo or Jen Low — but a city staffer who formerly produced videos for the mayor’s office. This is unfortunate. This indicates a belief on the part of the mayor and his appointee that the purpose of government is not to do things but just to sell them."

Yes, what's missing in this conversation is nuance and respect for the methodical process needed to vet information and flesh out stories before rushing to print

Ahhh, I had a Corolla FX that I still miss all the time. I negotiated them down an absurd amount by refusing to budge from my principled stance that it seemed like a good car, but it was funny looking. It was, but it was indestructible and you gotta love a hatchback.
1987 Toyota Corolla FX. It's a hatchback, the front looks like a normal Corolla of the era, the back looks like someone got drunk and lopped part of it off at an angle. The tires are comically small.

One of the historic cars in San Francisco's street car fleet is an open air "boat tram" which is cool both because it's an open air boat tram, and because they don't allow standing passengers so they never get crowded. They only run them on the rare nice days and special occasions though.
A green and white street car with no roof, so the 20 or so passengers have a wonderful view of the city and they can enjoy the sun.

This is too perfect
Excerpt from the referenced NYTimes article: The request for a gift for King Charles came from a State Department liaison who used the email address “giftgirl2025” and initially told the museum that they were looking for “like a sword or something,” according to a person familiar with the discussions.

Unlike the NYTimes, @sfchronicle.com calls it like they see it and doesn't fall back on weak "some people say" framing.
The Chronicle's post about Newsom's even where they say "Immigration agents reportedly made arrests outside the event, in an overt attempt to intimidate Democratic officials and citizens who'd gathered for the launch of the redistricting campaign."

I interpreted this to mean they just going to lie about their purpose if it's immigration.
from the article, one of the DEA officers in one of the reviewed communications says "apparently someone who has access to his account may have been running plates and maybe have placed the search bar 'immigration'.. which maybe brought undue attention..." and from another communication, the officer who was sharing his password offering to search for plants asks "What's the plate? And confirming it is NOT for immigration purposes..."

They don't even fit!
A close up of the one of the gilted doodads Trump's had glued to the doors. It shows that it's several inches larger than the door's raised inset, so the edges extend awkwardly beyond the wood, attached to nothing.

I think @moiradonegan.bsky.social is on to something
post from Moira Donegan with a link to a NYTimes story headlined "the Rose of Silicon Valley's Techno-Religion." She says "Maybe it’ll turn out that the social ostracism and mild arbitrary violence meted out to nerds in high schools was actually socially load-bearing, and that removing it and integrating nerds into positions of status and leadership is what led to civilizational collapse."

As the actual label saying it's AI generated didn't tip him off, I'm not surprised the content failed to.

I have some ideas.
"Taylor was sentenced to six years' probation under a deal to plead guilty to sexual misconduct and patronizing an underage prostitute. The former New York Giants star linebacker was initially charged with third-degree rape, among other counts. Fierro was 16 when the crime occurred in May 2010. She made a statement outside his sentencing hearing in March saying he deserved jail time."

NYTimes webform asking for reader feedback. Question: If you could add more options to these categories, waht would you add? Response: I'd like the option of a public editor. A real one like Margaret Sullivan.
