Since going into effect on April 1, California’s $20 fast-food minimum wage has not led to overall job losses as industry groups had warned, a study by UC researchers found. (via California Sun) www.kqed.org/news/1200715...

Despite concerns, California’s fast food industry maintained stable employment, though consumers are experiencing modest price increases, new research shows.

Genuinely the nightmare for me as an epileptic, having a seizure and having someone call 911 only to have cops either shoot or "restrain" me No amount of training is going to fix a fundamentally broken policing culture when it comes to disabilities like epilepsy. www.cbsnews.com/news/man-die...

Put up a Harris/Walz sign in the front yard a week ago. So far, nobody has messed with it.

Being 13 or so and my dad and I put hot dogs in buns wrapped in foil in the broiler, took those along and went to the drive in to watch some 70's drive in movies. We did this many times and in my memory those hot dogs were the best thing I ever ate.

Rice’s whale. Made in collaboration with Tommy Tucker, www.instagram.com/tommy_in_the....

A whale swimming in a beautiful blue ocean with shafts of light. Text: This is one of the rarest whales in the world. It's American, but most Americans have never heard of it.
A whale swimming to the surface. Text: Rice's Whales live only in the Gulf of Mexico. They were identified as a species in 2021. Arrows point to the pointy fin, three ridges on the head, and a length that's a little longer than a school bus.
A whale making calls that look like swirly lines and little frogs. Text: They make unique sounds, including a frog-like grunt and a sweeping, descending moan. These calls have echoed through the gulf for millions of years.
An image of 50 whale tails, and a whale resting at the surface. Text: Today, there are fewer than 100 Rice's whales left -  maybe only 50. Oil spills, noise from industry, and shipping traffic make things tough, especially since these whales sleep close to the surface at night.
