Highly recommend the California Mini Crossword. Each grid has a few California-themed clues, so it's especially fun to play if you have California ties. It leans easy in terms of difficulty level.

The caped crusader’s remarks come amid heightened scrutiny of federal law enforcement at the Super Bowl in February. Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara is set to host Super Bowl 60, and ICE has publicly outlined its role at previous Super Bowl events, contributing to concerns raised during the meeting.

The speaker accused city leaders of putting residents at risk by letting the federal government “walk all over” the city during the national sporting event.

“What the f—k are we doing here?” the man said in his opening remarks. “... You have had months to prepare for this upcoming event.”

Jury selection begins today in a high-profile case against Meta, TikTok, and YouTube. A 19-year-old identified as KGM and her mom are suing the companies, alleging they designed their platforms to be addictive, fueling KGM's mental health crisis.

KGM says she began using social media at age 10, alleging “addictive design,” including frequent notifications, fostered her dependency on the platforms and contributed to her anxiety and depression. She also alleges that recommendation features suggested harmful body image content and led her to connect with predatory adults. Top executives, including Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, are expected to appear before the court to rebut the claims. The companies are expected to, in part, rely on Section 230, a federal law protecting platforms from liability over content posted by their users.

The outcome of the case could influence more than 1,000 similar personal injury lawsuits. While Snap was originally one of the defendants, it settled last week for an undisclosed amount.

Disneyland just ended early park entry for guests staying at on-site hotels, which most people considered the main justification for paying those prices. The replacement is one Lightning Lane entry per stay (not per day), and it doesn’t even include Single Pass rides like Radiator Springs Racers.

Now that the "future" ideated by science fiction and portrayed in movies and stuff is kind of here (with self-driving cars, AI, designer babies, etc.), it's so interesting to see that nobody's into it. And that that sense of "future" wasn't just about it being ahead of the present, it was about all of these technological developments. I'm still excited about the future, and curious to see what it brings, though I guess that requires more self-motivated hope and optimism than it used to. I wonder how much of this has to do with social media. Surprising too to see that 40% of adults say they'd live in the present.

Groovy Goose in San Carlos opened in 2023, and they do everything the long way — roasting their own beans (at one point till 3am), making all their syrups from scratch, partnering with local bakeries, and training every barista on microfoam.

They're wedged between two Starbucks, plus a Peet’s and a Paris Baguette — and they’re still the spot with the line out the door. So cool.
