I need your help ❤️

Over 4-5 days new server- and media storage bills are coming in for this month

Currently I am still over €428 short this month😿😟

For upcoming weekend I have a server migration planned to scale down the costs by another €200 on the main servers but that will only take effect next month

If you can, please help out 🙏

LA food diary.

Some of you know I’m a big fan of LA food. I think that dollar for dollar you get a tremendous amount of cuisines, varieties of foods, in this melting pot which feels to me like it has far more immigrant and working class food than the Bay Area. Even the density and quality of ‘fancy food’ is high!

I’m keeping a record of my LA 2024 discoveries.

Via Ben Wikler:

Absorb this graph—but note that the final year is 2018, the year of Trump’s tax cuts. That’s #Trump’s big goal, always has been: to rip off working people and hand huge bags of cash to the ultra-wealthy, like himself and his Mar-a-Lago buddies.

Rutger Bregman:

Stunning graph: the plummeting tax rates of the richest Americans. For the first time in history, billionaires have a lower effective tax rate than working-class Americans.

I found this little friend on the wildflower walk yesterday but none of us could identify it. Any ideas? I’m in the US, northeast Ohio

Also not sure if there are hashtags for plant ID requests so suggestions for those would also be helpful!

EDIT: might be a sun-deprived beech seedling (thanks to @canyakker and @herzleid for the suggestion)

When I first moved to the U.S., eyeglasses and contacts were very confusing to me. They were terribly expensive and many of the cheaper places didn’t also do eye exams. It was also confusing with ‘vision insurance’. Anyway I finally figured it out: just go to Costco! That’s the answer to everything in this country!

What I do now: I get a fully covered eye exam at my local optometry place

Then I go to costco for frames and contacts. The prices are.. a fraction of elsewhere

One time I met someone who I thought wanted to be a friend and she just wanted to ask if she could list all my awesome food recs in her ‘food recs startup’

Another time I met someone who was cool and then when we hung out she started spouting the worst Hindutva nonsense

Making friends in San Francisco is hard, I should move to Oakland lol

If you read my weekend blog post, you know that I've been pointing out that the predicate crime in the Trump trial is not clear.

(For what I mean, see my weekend blog post).

Here is what the Washington Post reported.

See screenshots #1 and #2.

Here is the law: https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/ELN/17-152?utm_medium=email&wpisrc=nl-nationalpopup&utm_source=newsletter&utm_campaign=wp_the_trump_trials

To be clear: I have no idea how this trial will turn out. I cannot substitute my judgment for the jury because I am not seeing what they are seeing.

I call this project, broadly, "why does everything hurt today?"

Cutting up downed trees on the ridge at the cabin and getting them to level ground so we don't have to worry about them rolling on person or dog.

My name is relatively unique but the other two or three people with the same name as me are: a photographer and a software person, and I think maybe one of them is also a social media influencer, so I feel like maybe all of us need to merge into one person
