I'm in SoCal now and for some reason San Rafael made it onto the local newscast *here* and I cringed so hard when I heard the mispronunciation! No one had told them the correct way!

The city of San Rafael, CA. It's a dead giveaway as to who is from the bay area, and who is not.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

This here’s a man of the people.

Former Cubs pitcher Lee Smith on why he always walked so slowly out of the bullpen when he was called - he heard the grounds crew got time and a half of the game stretched past 4:30 pm.

If you're a California voter, please vote YES ON 50 and send that ballot back ASAP so the volunteers don't waste any time on you. And maybe volunteer if you have the time.

Sweet Californians, send those ballots back ASAP, so the volunteers don't need to bother with you.

I have a theory that Ethiopian food is the closest thing in the world to Indian food and I'm very sad I haven't been able to test this theory yet. It looks so good!

This tactic worked for us through elementary school, but has been impossible in middle school. There's insufficient parking in the area and the tween/teens would rather die than having us walk them from campus.

If you are a woman or female presenting in the Valley look out for a man with glasses and this plate. Took it off a TikTok video in which LITERALLY HUNDREDS of women reported him asking for help moving a box from his backseat to his trunk with a fake bandage around his arm, something Ted Bundy did.

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"
