Chaos Theory

Here is a squirrel riding a bike.

That is all.

This cracked me up.

"UC Davis student Robert Quail wasn’t just born; he was crafted by the gods. In many ways, you could say he’s an angel just by virtue of his very existence. It’s extraordinary to think that we almost lost our savior to the Golden Bears.

You see, Quail was admitted to both UC Davis and UC Berkeley. He chose to go to Davis. This has never happened before. Ask anyone and they’ll tell you the truth: once you get that acceptance to Berkeley, your Davis letter spontaneously combusts because the universe has already decided your fate. Our precious Quail would not let this be so! He grabbed his Davis letter and held it with all his might.

“Those people need me!” Quail wailed. “I cannot let them suffer without me.”

Bike forgets where it parked its student.

The drought is over...for now...only in NorCal.

I am really tired of hearing about drought right now (Washington Post).

Update #22: your reps are playing hide and seek

• Where have your members of Congress gone?
• Rep who refuses to hold town halls. 
• Another one who refuses to hold them.
• I prefer to have phone in town halls.
• Even when you ask, he says no.
• What to do when your reps refuse to meet with you.
• Even when we like our rep and he shows up at the town hall, we still got things to critique, apparently.
• "We’re almost a month in to the darkest chapter in modern American history and still there exists not a single truly inspiring, hopeful or genuinely kind image, video clip, intimate detail from the White House. All we have instead is horror, dread, a near-constant barrage of this-can’t-be-happening.
  There is Trump, not reassuringly greeting foreign dignitaries. There is the president, not playfully meeting the children of his staff, not catching the tender eye of his wife, not inspiring enthusiasm in his team, not appearing in any way thoughtfully engaged with the world around him.
  Our international posture has become that of a schizophrenic goblin: one part jowly scowl, one part petulant leer, all bombast and bleat and whining, in public, about loser department stores, made-up voter fraud, “dishonest” coverage of revolting cabinet appointees and “unfair” portrayals on sketch comedy shows. Meanwhile, the world vomits.
  It’s become impossible to imagine a worse choice to lead the nation. Trump’s combination of ignorance, incompetence and chaotic cruelty is so diametrically opposed to the warmth, proficiency and deep intelligence Obama gave us for eight solid years, we may never recover from the whiplash.
  And of course, we absolutely shouldn’t. This is not a condition we should ever normalize. We must never get used to being slammed back and forth between the poles of murderous embarrassment and horrified disgust, a moment of humiliating incompetence quickly offset by the realization that this thoroughly heartless human has access to the nuclear codes and can – and probably will – launch a war with China with a infantile 3AM tweet and pick of the nose."
• "Was DeAgazio worried about the national-security implications of Trump's al-fresco discussion with Abe? He was not. He said he was sure they had not been overheard.
  "You don't hear anything. You can't hear," DeAgazio said, because of the background music and other diners' chatter. "I mean, I can barely hear what's going on at my table."
  After The Post spoke to DeAgazio, he deleted his Facebook account."

It's San Francisco,

let's get naked for a parade.

Trapped in the closet

The BART janitor that works so much overtime is uh...apparently doing it in a closet?

I'm wondering how they're gonna do that.

Free community college to SF residents. However, it's to CCSF, which has been having issues for years. Apparently those issues are fixed now, though. Or at least the accreditation ones. Dunno on their budget. 

Therapy pig at the airport!

“Since its launch in 2013, the SFO Wag Brigade has become a favorite amenity among travelers,” Christopher Birch, director of guest experience, said in a news release announcing LiLou’s admission to the team. “With the addition of LiLou, we can look forward to more moments of surprise and delight for guests at our airport.”

LiLou was chosen for her winning personality, and her overall cuteness, which is off the charts. She’ll be greeting travelers in a series of costumes and with perfectly manicured “nails.”

Officials says LiLou loves performing tricks for her audiences, and when not on airport duty, she visits several other facilities in San Francisco, including senior centers and hospitals."
