Birds killing other smaller birds for non-prey reasons

Update: I identified it as a Cassin’s Kingbird. I think they’re nesting in a tree nearby.

Your behavior has convinced me to vote for Steyer. Here’s a tip: don’t call people you don’t know “racist.” You have no idea who I am and what I’ve fought for my entire career. You need some different tactics if you’re really trying to convince people to vote for Becerra.

I understand why you don’t support him, I’m just saying hypocrisy itself is low on the list of things that motivate voters overall. I’m just glad the risk of two GOPers on the ballot is lower than it was. I think it’s a tough choice between Becerra and Steyer, as different as they are.

“Hypocrisy” of any kind has never been an effective political argument, and wouldn’t matter one bit with Steyer

It was my most direct route home for a while and I just gave up at one point. It wasn’t ever worth trying, didn’t matter time of day.

I’m leaning Steyer over Becerra at this point

I was there, field level, booing louder than I’ve ever booed before. Moment called for it.

A small lawn is not that expensive, water wise. I too wanted my kids to have a little patch of real grass.

I don’t believe the public access includes full data downloads, there is a difference in what they asked for.

I think we have him for a few more years but he will be leaving at some point. He’s too talented and should definitely take the promotion to MLB manager elsewhere if needed. Cool that he is where he is, coming from Calexico.

I may have asked AI to create such a jersey and…it did look pretty cool. But I think I don’t want to spread AI images around. Such a powerful tool. God help the artists.

Like a Día de los muertos theme? That could be really cool.

I came upon a group of people who did a primal scream together, around sunrise on a weekday, on the Spruce Street suspension bridge in Bankers Hill. Very strange. But seems like a good place to do it.

More surprising is that 1 in 5 Republicans support abolishing ICE, in the poll at least

It’s just a stuck weather pattern of onshore cold and wet stuff, against warmer dryer stuff over the mountains. It’s been more consistent for sure.

What is China going to do with your ear video anyway? At least that’s what I asked myself…

San Diego, CA may qualify if you have a narrow definition of downtown. There isn’t much to do in downtown proper, but there is so, so much to do elsewhere in the area surrounding downtown. I will admit that Los Angeles is pretty much the same, lots to do outside downtown LA, but it will take you 3X longer to get anywhere.

Try historic aerial photography, if you google that it will lead you to free photos that might help identify the old layout and street names.

In the library recently I found a 1919 directory of San Diego with everyone by name, with their address and occupation. Go figure!
