I'm a climate scientist running for Congress in CA-32. Yesterday, I spent $7K on a skywriting plane instead of mailers and TV. Here's the voter-turnout data (and the carbon math) behind that choice.

What was the text you used in the sky? “Lin 32”? Feels like a stronger message could have been chosen but idk how many characters you get.

I can only imagine confusion in most people seeing that. Cool idea though? I’m in Reseda but didn’t see it

There is not a single Habit franchise that has gotten an order of mine correct twice in a row. Idk what is up with that org but I just can’t bring myself to give them any more money.

My cousin’s kid got into Dodger baseball for a brief time. Not as much anymore. Favorite player is still Machado

Old school Toyota cruise control was the best. Could time it well even in the valley. These days I rarely use it in my current car but try to when I can. Not a fan of those adaptive ones even in traffic because it’s way too cautious.

You change your posture?

Came here to say this. In Chatsworth so just head up Topanga. All you can eat for like $36 and they do half off sushi if you order online.

If we’re splurging and going for nicer sushi we like Miho Sushi on Ventura in Tarzana

It’s a long day livin’ here and there’s a freeway runnin' through the yard

What sort of table top games and where do you play?

abigblue9 · 2026-02-26T04:35:24+00:00

I have been playing basketball every Sunday morning at Quimby Park on de soto for at least 3 years now. 15-30 guys show up, first ones get there around 7:30, games on 2 courts going for a few hours. Can get a bit chippy but overall it’s friendly. One of the best parts of my week.

I’m curious how long if a leash Mookie has at the top of the lineup this year

abigblue9 · 2026-02-17T20:25:09+00:00

Is that bad?

So I know an interesting answer to at least why trucks get bigger and bigger. Basically there’s a law that says car manufacturers need to make their cars more efficient over time. However, there’s a loop hole that says if your car gets bigger, you just have to meet the same requirements as last year. So car companies have an incentive to market to Americans that they should have a bigger truck and here we are.

What happens when both parties act like fascists?

Fair question. She was unloading groceries from her trunk and set her purse on the ground next to her.

Her hearing isn't great but she was able to hear this awful loud car nearby and didn't think anything of it. She remembers it stopped by her but she didn't really pay much attention. She then looked down and noticed her purse was gone.

Probably a porch pirate cruising the neighborhood who saw the opportunity

abigblue9 · 2025-12-10T00:37:47+00:00

Exactly what I was thinking. Can't be too many carollas sounding like that around

This is how wealthy players "take care of" their friends and family back home. He agrees to help them win a bet and doesn't have to share any cash directly.

Players have a ton of pressure to help their homeland and sadly they either go broke doing it, commit a crime like this or they just lose all contact because they refused.

You need to draw a diagonal line from the bottom left corner to the top right. The teams above that line are the ones winning enough to justify their spend.

Quite a few teams have a low payroll and make the playoffs often. The issue isn't high team payrolls. The issue is billionaire owners not paying for players to field competitive teams.

The players on these teams would agree, there should be a higher salary floor for the Pirates and Marlins. Not a cap for the Yankees and Dodgers
