What are this week’s murder stats in YOUR city?

[Lori Lightfoot @LoriLightfoot]

I’m sick of this shit. How many people need to be murdered? How many lives torn apart? Until it actually stops?

We don’t have to live like this. And we don’t have to die like this.

May sound silly but this kinda stuff (meeting and taking care of fans) will always be the best part of fame.

Thanks for being awesome, Carol! Make sure you tell all your friends how mean, cold and unkind #BlackAdam really is in person 😉
Great to meet you 👊🏾

#ElectraFire (Amador & Calaveras Co) - Listed as 5% contained now. Mapped by FIRIS @ 3,915 acres about an hour ago, most of that growth is highlighted in the red boxes: below Quail Dr & below Amador Ln near Lake Tabeaud.

Only thing more remarkable than DOJ not leaking the list is that no one in the media cares. Doesn’t that seem odd?

[Karl D @AlphaRoaming]

@sooperay Easy to bike or walk very close to both buildings. (Moffett requires ID to get on the base.)

@mttgza @cyclelicious People who can’t afford a $85K Rivian!

I love the new vegetableless vegetables…

Meanwhile in Fresno…
At a @cvspharmacy the “secure” liquor cabinet was the target this time.

@eBikeChick Hmmm…I just looked this up. Guild Theater! (Liz Phair, and others, are coming to Stern Grove this summer.)

[Karl D @AlphaRoaming]

@eBikeChick I would not let my bike out of my sight, in SF, for any longer than a quick bathroom break. The thieves there are really good, even with the best locks…

Technology makes you closer to persons far from you but takes you away from those sitting right next to you. I’m glad I grew up playing outside and visiting my grandparents in Sweden instead of texting them in Sweden.

I know this is old news to many, but the iconic Hangar One at Moffett Airfield is getting a reskin! Construction crews putting on a dazzling display of workmanship.

[Karl D @AlphaRoaming]

@eBikeChick @nextdoorsv @thorpej Demand line item details!

[Moffett Hangar One @MoffettHangar1]

On this day in 1933, my beloved USS Macon took her first flight in Akron. I had not yet met her, but I yearned for her.

[Ames Wind Tunnel @AmesWindTunnel]

Fuck.
You maniacs 😫 You blew it up!
God damn you all to hell!😭

Finally starting work,,,

[Moffett Hangar One @MoffettHangar1]

On this day in 2014 the United States General Services Administration announced that Google's Planetary Ventures would lease Moffett Field. My restoration was promised to happen soon.

[Moffett Hangar One @MoffettHangar1]

On this day in 2015, Google's (now Alphabet's) Planetary Ventures LLC - it's turtles all the way down - took over Moffett Field and me. They promised to reskin me with in 18 months.

It is finally happening.

@cyclelicious I bet it was labelled as a Nissan Fairlady! (My first car was a rusty 240-Z.)
