@kingsley With each episode of egregious misbehavior by #police, I again wonder whether it would at all help if police #academies were a state-level entity (one per state), accredited and monitored by higher education, staffed by quality faculty, unmilitarized (no barracks), and had a rigorous 4 or 5 year curriculum that included social sciences. And local police departments could hire only such graduates. The graduates wouldn't have student debt, because the State paid their way.

@KimPerales #NorfolkSouthern has been very profitable. Folks in #EastPalestine deserve handsome compensation. The company needs to undergo a thorough reckoning though: an investigation into what all contributed to this incident, followed by regulatory action and reforms like the labor contract negotiations were asking for.

@Krisss I don't know where this represents, but it kind of makes me want to visit #Kyoto in the Spring. Almond trees here in the southern Sacramento Valley are beginning to bloom. It's lovely.

@KimPerales I wonder if Erik Prince is envious.

@KimPerales Yes those Russian mob assets parked in western banks and securities should be turned over to UA and be quick about it.

@stopgopfox Yes! When I saw that, I thought to myself "does Sinema have a handler?"

@futurebird @ana Well for chronic pain nothing beats opiates. Prescribed by an MD of course coupled with monitoring. But they definitely have their down sides. Slowed gut motility/constipation, tolerance/dependency (not really an issue for terminal patients), and too much stops one's breathing.

@Trilobyter Haven't been on the Monterey Peninsula since the pandemic. We're fond of the little inland hamlet of Carmel Valley.

@backpackandsnorkel Great spot. Visited Pittsburgh a few times when my daughter studied there. Great eateries and pubs. Pretty good football team.

There's still a couple of hours on Sunday, so here is an offering: Morven Park, Virginia. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt liked to go there on weekends for Reasons.#SilentSunday#StilleSontag

At my work long ago we started calling it "the Winter Social" and it has served well I think. Until COVID, that is.https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2023/11/30/holiday-party-exclusion-christmas/

@clive A guy I used to know grew up on a farm in Nebraska. His dad was thrifty: used the pickup truck only for chores on the farm or the occasional trek to town for bulky supplies. For all other non-farm errands or trips, he drove an old Corvair, because it got better gas mileage. He also didn't raise farm animals: once the soybean/corn/wheat crop was in, he would batten down the farm and spend the winter in a bungalow he owned in Orange County, California. Kind of an early adopter of snowbird.
