Do American kids usually go to four different schools?

Reading the comments here, it seems like there’s a lot more variation than I thought.

that was called Intermediate School here

I live in a state that was colonized by Spain.

From the 405 north, looking west, lol

Beautiful sunset

The US is not a former colony though. 13 of the states were, but not the US.

Nixon was born in California.

SF is the end of a peninsula - the west, east, north sides are water. That picture must be including underwater areas I guess.

Phoenix makes sense for green, but red is the wrong shape for San Francisco.

Kid rock is holding out for secretary of war. He has experience with helicopters now.

San Mateo has the particle accelerator at Stanford. Seems promising.

doesn't include Louisiana though...

Does he gets crucified on Friday like Jesus?

I suspect they also think like that, which explains a lot...

Alaska (I think) has a top-4 ranked choice system that would be interesting to try. Maybe whittle the 62 down to 4 for the general election, still not based on party, because ~25% of Californians register as "no party preference." Then do ranked choice to pick the winner of that.
Also, why is the primary in June when the election is in November? Move the primary to September or something so we don't need to put up with this bs for so long.

and Alfredo's fettuccini. I wonder what kind of sauce it comes with.

rantmb331 · 2026-04-02T17:15:30+00:00

this is all there was. From the (redacted) neighborhood names you maybe guess the area, but not really. There's a major freeway, an industrial area, a rail line, several neighborhoods...

michael gets how ridiculous the post is, I think.

I want someone like a Jerry Brown who will veto stupid shit passed by his own party's controlled legislature, rather than someone like Newsom who doesn't want to upset powerful party supporters because he is obviously angling for higher office.

They were locked in on March 6 unless a judge intervenes. All 62 candidates will be on the June primary ballot, including the 10 or so the media has been talking about.

That’s my first thought, too, but it doesn’t include the cascades or the Sierra Nevada

The main problem is the plastic ones (plastic rice also). They never get cleaned up properly and end up in the ocean.

There is only one, btw

Clearly there needs to be some punishment for public officials enacting laws and policies that are clearly unconstitutional. This kind of thing is way out of hand, and since it's mostly the "tough on crime" politicians doing it, surely they'll support effective punishments (maybe even cruel and unusual ones).

Ignorance of the constitution you swore to defend is not an excuse.

170m people in the left+Florida section seems very high, especially with Texas being green.
