San Francisco had a citywide power outage yesterday. Traffic lights went dark. Waymos stalled mid-street.
It’s likely an under-tested edge case and one without a simple fix despite criticisms from the anti-tech crowd. When traffic lights die at a busy intersection, humans struggle too.

Gives new meaning to the phrase “wild with grief.” It is a horror I would wish upon no one. 😭😭😭
This hits me REALLY hard today, as it was one of my late mother‘s favorites. She died of COVID in April 2020; I watched her die via livestream, as she was in West Michigan and I was in Berkeley.
Grief comes at the most unexpected times and nearly robs you of all oxygen. It gives no advance warning.

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

*My better half* got a very good report yesterday. 😭 So he’s been turned loose on his bike recently to let it all out on the trail. We send much love to our friends and apologies to those we’ve offended recently; we’ve been scared. We’ll see a few of you at our party tonight (all masked for safety).

You mean “making it work” as a gay COUPLE isn‘t hard enough? What are we doing wrong? 🤭
But srsly: three gay men and not a competent/capable interior designer amongst them? They had to bring in an outsider?
Do they bring in a judge or jury to mediate their disagreements on domestic matters? 😁

Not a great pic, but we are so grateful to the team at Paulina Market for their gracious assistance as we planned our scaled-down holiday party which we’re hosting at home tomorrow, and picked everything up today. They are consummate professionals and are invaluable at this time of year. Prost!

If your house of worship is silent about the cruelty and the attacks on your neighbors by ICE, you’re at the wrong church, mosque, synagogue, temple, or gurdwara.
