Pick out a county listed in here and donate to their food bank.

And if anybody has a ready/more comprehensive list please pass it to me and I will share.
Don’t you wonder why the uber-rich don’t just do things like restock all of California’s food banks or wipe out all school lunch debt? Bloomberg or Steyer could easily do both.
Anyway, this is why we need progressive taxation. And in the meantime do what you can.

1/ So...I respect @TimOBrien. But now that he’s a campaign aide for Bloomberg and not a journalist for Bloomberg does @msnbc reevaluate his contributor status and/or contract?
2/ or are we seeing the two slippery slopes of cable news merging. That of reporters becoming perma pundits, and of campaign proxies being given perma pundit proxy status also.
3/ the average non obsessive viewer might not know/notice that @TimOBrien has a new role—and that is highly problematic.

And indicative of the asymmetrical campaign Bloomberg is mounting.

Completely agree. Re CNN the point isn’t to terrify them financially, more like a warning shot against @FresnoBee and other smaller news orgs that have done some of the best reporting on Nunes.
Which isn’t to malign CNN’s reporting. Just that their deep pockets and fleet of lawyers provides a bulwark against gadfly suits like this one.
“Threat of suit”—since that’s all it is, at least at this point. Nunes’ main point may just be to prevent a ton of reporting into his activities by CNN and others over the next few weeks

Hey SF: it starts raining Tuesday and is forecast to rain for a week. So tomorrow RAKE OUT YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD STORM DRAINS. Keep plastics and other garbage out of ocean, stop flooding. adoptadrain.sfwater.org
You don’t have to formally adopt a drains (though you do get to name them, and motivates kids to help) to clean them, but you can do that and learn more here adoptadrain.sfwater.org
This is one of those very small bits of effort that if collectively done makes a huge effort.

Budget stuff! Here's the staff presentation: www-static.bouldercolorado.gov/docs/5A_2020_B…
And here's the full proposed budget, if you need some reading material. (Actually pretty interesting and easy to understand, even if it's not exactly riveting. I recommend it.) www-static.bouldercolorado.gov/docs/2020_Reco…

THE STORY'BOUT A BOAT PT. 1

1/4
 “A certain level of quality.” That is the phrase that Donald Trump returns to again and again to explain just why he bought Adnan Khashoggi’s 86 metre yacht Nabila. And an explanation is needed."
2/4
 "Unlike Trump, Adnan Khashoggi has always had a thing about boats. The arms dealer, who took advantages of connections with the Saudi royal family to amass a fortune worth around $3billion at its peak, acquired his first yacht-"
3/4
"-when he was 18 and traded up as his wealth increased.

Many of Khashoggi’s most lavish parties took place aboard Nabila, but the yacht was also an invaluable business instrument. Not only movie stars but also political leaders and diplomats were invited aboard."

It’s #Monday, I’m boozing it up at a 4 seat bar, the #barkeep is a long pourer, and I’m all fucking set if I get something stuck between my teeth.👇🙃 #RandomThoughts #drinking #OutAndAbout
Shooting the shit with a friend, she’s proud to be doing well with her plants - unusual for her.

The key was a #video explaining the benefits of pruning.

She needs REASONS. She got them.

Apparently, pruning in a particular manner stimulates growth hormones.
#RandomThoughts
Of course, this led to me initiating a discussion about the #movie I just watched on Hulu, called “The German Doctor.”

The main character was Josef Mengele. #ThisHappened

People, this is why I’m known in my circles as “The Black Hole Of Conversation.” SMTH

At #LowCarbSeattle! so far it is meet & greet and check out the vendors. Saw @DaveKeto and @siobhan_huggins in the crowd. Mona, the #LowCarbUSA gal that registered me was totally helpful with some accessibility issues I was having.
Had some tech issues with my Kindle/Bluetooth keyboard setup. Note to self - practice with new equip more before trying out at a conference! My Anke charger is AWESOME though!!! @AnkerOfficial
@AnkerOfficial If you are here and want to say hi - I am the gal at the back of the room just as you come in the door. Totally looking forward to the great speakers! I am going to try to tweet throughout the day. We'll see how that goes. I'll be taking lots of notes too.

it’s confusing and not always convenient but it is interesting to see the inside of different schools when the school board work sessions are held in locations other than the county office building. i’ve never been inside monticello high school before!
last time they had a work session at a high school i accidentally went to the wrong venue and was surprised to wander into a completely dark and empty lane auditorium. thanks @Knott_Katherine for reminding me it was here tonight!
tonight’s agenda is... lengthy. not a big crowd here in the monticello high school library, though. public comment is scheduled for 8:40pm. they’ve run mostly on time lately.

People of Space: Ute
@People_Of_Space
Hi everyone! :) I'm Ute (pronounced like “Oohter” with the emphasis on the first syllable. Equivalents are Audrey in English, Aude/Odette in French), and first of all I would like to thank @Taraustralis for the privilege of letting me host “People of Space” this week!
@Taraustralis Another special thank you goes to my direct predecessors, @marmatheghost and @martinesrymd, for their great contributions! Both have inspired some of the things I intend to talk about over the next 7 days.
@Taraustralis @MarmaTheGhost @martinesrymd Tara created @people_of_space so people from all walks of life could talk about their passion to a larger audience. Her intention will in fact also be this week’s motto: “Space is for Everyone”.
Welcome aboard; enjoy the ride! :)
