Early notice that I'm on the app with bluer skies as johnbaker10. I will crosspost here for a while.
A huge loss for the Star Trek community and a tough way to start the week.
Walter Koenig, who played Chekov in the original “Star Trek” series and seven “Star Trek” feature films, has died at 90.

Late anniversary date with @ClaireKelly77. She knows I love 100% historically accurate shows like this! #OhMary
I hope the mystery fourth actor is Hamish Patel. Right age, acting chops, and the right "blend-in" looks for a spy these days, while still being handsome enough to be seductive. Plus it'll piss off the right people.
Restocking some camping food and this is the longest best-by date for a perishable item I’ve ever seen!

I’m striking today with tens of thousands of State of California workers alongside @SEIU1000 in the quest for a contract that values public workers!

Hey fellow #MacOS users, anyone else see huge inexplicable jumps in system data since updating to MacOS 27? I've cleared caches and the trash is empty, yet I'm still seeing >550Gb in System Data.
Some pre-Blue Angels pics from the San Francisco Fleet Week air show. F-22 and F-35, you may even see a P-51 Mustang if you look closely. #SFFleetWeek
Pro-tip: If the drive-in vaccination line is shorter than the walk-in line, Kaiser (@aboutKP) will let you go through it on a bicycle.
Seems to be an encampment fire behind fire behind the Westborough Pacific Super in South San Francisco. Police scanner says they heard explosions.

A great step forward for local workforce housing which can be emulated elsewhere: San Mateo County Office of Education buys existing apartment building, and as residents naturally move, educators will be replacing them at reduced rents. smdailyjournal.com/news/loca… via @smdailyjournal
Damn, the Temu app sucks. I just want to buy a cheap [item redacted to avoid ads]. They make you play non-skippable stupid games (“spin a wheel to get a free prize,” etc.) just to get on the app. I don’t have time for this. Off to eBay or Amazon.
Today, in separate concerts, I saw two very different bands that have each been touring the world for nearly 50 years: Kool and the Gang (at SSF’s concert in the park) and Public Image Limited (at the Fillmore). Even money I may be the first to see them both on the same day. – at San Francisco, CA
Guys, I did it! I threw away the single glove that’s been sitting in my garage for three years in the hope that I find its partner. EDIT: Three days later — I found the other glove.
Ah shucks, according to Thor issue 284 (picking up a thread from Jack Kirby’s Eternals run), the Celestials are going to judge us this year. Don’t think we’re gonna make it, folks.

Toronto’s Dave Stieb had a no-hitter broken up with 2 outs in the 9th inning THREE TIMES!
Sept. 24, 1988 – Julio Franco’s grounder took a bad hop over the second baseman’s head for a single. Stieb finished with a one-hitter.
Sept. 30, 1988 – In his VERY NEXT START, Jim Traber blooped single into right field for a single. Stieb finished with a one-hitter.
Aug. 4, 1989 – One out away from a PERFECT GAME, Roberto Kelly doubled. Stieb finished with a two-hitter.
OTD in 1990 – Dave Stieb FINALLY got his no-hitter!
It remains the only no-hitter in Blue Jays franchise history 👏
