They are renovating a landmark building in downtown Oakland to be their new headquarters and I go back and forth between wanting them to make it succeed For Oakland’s Sake and wanting the Black Bloc to just smashy everything they own.

How about a law requiring the Texas governor to give the Black Power salute during the anthem?

Howard Terminal. Which is actually closer to BART than AT&T is, for what it’s worth. (Also right next to the ferry dock.)

Weirdly, a lot of Giants fans live in Oakland. Forced out of the city by housing prices, I guess. And the median home price in Oakland is now $639K.

The Coliseum was a really nice place to see a baseball game ... in 1987. BART train stop right at the stadium, lots of parking, nice view of the hills. And, you know, Reggie, Ricky, Dave Stewart, Eck, Tony LaRussa, Mark McGwire, the young Jose Canseco...

I think the OP was disagreeing with the implication that abortions, per se, are a national disgrace. “Safe, legal, rare.”

If women have to choose abortion because they didn’t have access to birth control, it IS a national disgrace. And we are headed towards that disgrace again, I fear.

I didn’t watch the whole thing because thank jebus I’m not paid to do so, but it seemed to me there was a lot LESS laughter than usual at a presser.

At the small general aviation airport in the mountain community where I used to live, standard procedure was to come around once low and hot before trying to land, especially in the late afternoon and early evening when deer are most common.

Lalalalalalala I can’t hear you, what?

In all seriousness and not to take anything away from Jake Arrieta’s genetic lottery jackpot, one of the reasons I love the ESPN Body Issues is the tremendous variety in the fit, healthy athletic bodies.

Yes, I definitely appreciate its composition. 😜

You could always write some postcards or call some legislators...✊🏼✊🏻✊🏾

Meanwhile, ESPN’s interactive website for its 2016 Body Issue is still available, so fuck Sports Illustrated.

I’m off Friday anyway (four-day holiday) but plan to avoid shopping and join my local demonstration. I live in the SF Bay Area, so I’m confident there will be one.

Ah, the odd yet compelling young Richard E. Grant. He was born to play that role.

The other candidate, Jane’s early crush Tom Lefroy, looks more like a Wickham to me:

Kind of like this? I assume this is what Jamie Dornan is attempting, clumsily, in the 50 Shades trailer.
