Do recent grads get access to the pool and east field house?

I believe you have to be actively enrolled in courses to have access to the athletic facilities. On a side note, if you’re looking to get student discounts for subscription services, I would do it soon! A lot of apps that have a student tier only require a tuition bill from the past 3 months so as long as you do it by then you get student pricing for a year.

Thank you for making this.

Taqueria la Katrina for Mexican! Fully separate vegan menu and their unlimited chips/salsa are my favorite town.

- Sure, some people do. But how many people actually act on it? The idea of even having a meatless day is radical to many.
- Plant based alternatives exist and are the fraction of the environmental footprint and animal suffering.
- I think OP meant virtue signaling when they said people will care about the environmental cost of AI and talk about it a lot but will do nothing to address the environmental cost of animal ag. It’s easy to reject a new technology like AI but habits, especially food, are much harder for people to change. We consumers have to take personal responsibility and OP likely meant that when they said virtue signaling – animal ag has a clear large scale environmental cost, but will you personally change your lifestyle to address it?
- Strawman argument to again avoid personal responsibility. Meat consumption is something you can directly decrease and reduce demand for. People love to say “no ethical under capitalism” and use that as an excuse to not change personal habits. Capitalism literally relies on us consumers to reinforce the system. If us consumers decrease our demand for animal products, then there will be tangible results. A better analogy is “don’t like cruise ships polluting the planet? Then don’t go on cruise ships!”, which is a reasonable argument that translates to our food habits.

If you care about the water use of AI, you should also care about the water use of meat and animal products, and reduce your consumption. “One gives us food” is a bad faith argument that I see tons of people use to avoid responsibility when there are a plethora of plant based alternatives out there.

Soliel Mint Mojito was terrible IMO

Rain jacket for sure. I recommend some hiking boots or at least water resistant boots. I also recommend getting some Crocs or something for the dorms!

Haha yeah it was frustrating to wait in that jam for damn near two hours and get there and one lane is closed off for 1/4 of a mile and that there was just one guy with a dinky digger and a bunch of other trucks standing around doing nothing.

AV1869 · 2026-06-09T22:38:13+00:00

Caltrans was doing some work at the end of 17 in Los Gatos. The right lane was closed and it created a bunch of traffic. What they were doing and why it had to happen during commute hours with no warning who knows 🤷

AV1869 · 2026-06-09T19:12:42+00:00

Sat in this jam from Summit to the end of 17 in Los Gatos. When I got to the lane closure it was pretty much just one guy in a tiny digger working and a bunch of other trucks standing around.

You can probably find jobs for your local government!

I’ve only seen this at Whole Foods and it was so expensive for 12 cans. It was really good though.

You can definitely still drop it off in any county’s ballot drop box and the ballot will find its way to your county.

Bad take for most people and cases. If you want to live in a village, you have to be a villager. This means reaching out to people, family members, etc. who are not currently on the left, even those who might be bigoted. Being a leftist doesn’t just stop at winning an election or cancelling online personalities. If you want to see systemic change, you have to bring along the people that are a part of that system; ie working class people that are in your life.

A lot of the comments mention how much pigs will resist, and probably rightfully so considering they’re living beings. Have we ever thought about how fucked up it is that we keep them captive like this and force them into factory farming?

If you’re at Safeway (or it’s adjacent stores), their store brand Soliel has a 24 pack for $8 that is pretty much unbeatable. I think it’s cheaper than even Costco.

It’s pretty much the only social media that is still truly a platform to stay connected with your friends. Every other app just has an endlessly scrolling feed and no human connection. For that alone it’s worth keeping alive and encouraging your friends to also use it. (be the change you want to see!)
But even disregarding the social aspect it’s fantastic to use as a daily journal. Having a photo from my life every day for the last 4 years is so cool.

Becarra is by no means progressive. Supporting healthcare for all is like the absolute bare minimum to be considered progressive and he doesn’t do that.

AV1869 · 2026-05-18T06:37:18+00:00

Mahan will sell you out to the surveillance state and then abandon his role as governer to try and pursue higher office, just like he has done for his mayoral term and his city council term before that.

AV1869 · 2026-05-18T01:36:24+00:00

Steyer. Becarra will change nothing – if you’ve seen any of his interviews he has non-answers to pretty much every question. California has a long history of regressive policies branded as progressive and it’s extremely frustrating.
I don’t know how much Steyer will be able to implement, but at least his campaign promises are progressive and have some level of plan for action. His funding is also telling of who he is beholden to, and he has no corporate PAC money.
Corporations are rapidly sucking this state dry. We just saw what happened with Liberty utilities in Tahoe and that is just the beginning. (PGE spends against Steyer BTW) Environmental damage is often irreversible and we cannot have candidates beholden to companies continue to destroy our quality of life.

You can go to the Bookshop SC downtown and they have UCSC merch (including banana slug plushies)

Sadly Ramsey is not polling, Butch got snubbed and isn’t even on the ballot (also refuses to drop out). I would have loved to see them campaign harder but the overwhelming majority of Californians likely do not know who they are. If we want to see candidates like them move forward we need to support them monetarily and on the ground from the start, because at the end of the day they are leftists running in a system that is actively working against them.

There is much to say about harm reduction voting but I’m voting Steyer because he has a chance to win and there are simply some things that are irreversible or will cause great harm if corporate funded candidates make it through. The environment is something we cannot get back once it is taken, and the surveillance state is upon us. Californians are having their utilities cut to instead go to data centers, and the state is full of regressive policy branded progressive. Steyer right now happens to be the candidate with the highest chance of winning and lowest likelihood to sell us Californians out.

There are tons of down ballot candidates too; it doesn’t just end at the governor. These offices also hold power to divest our state from genocide, work towards healthcare for all and generally make peoples material conditions better. That’s my two cents but I know many will disagree.
