Once more, we #GenXers are completely ignored: Strands #320 “The time of our lives” 💡🔵💡🔵 🔵💡🔵🟡 🔵 #nytgames

@larkylulu If I had a dime for the number of times I hear “sigma” in a day…

Alright -friends with teen kids. Here’s your tip of the day. I have found the best way to “connect” with teenagers. Any slang word they say, look up the word in the urban dictionary and incorporate said word as often as humanly possible. It’s quite fun. 😂 New fav word, sigma

Me: *getting ready for bed* Teen: “What were the big lessons of the revolutions of 1848?” Me: Well, I took a class about that 40 yrs ago, book’s around here somewhere…found it! Teen: 🙄 “Nevermind…Wait! Do you know anything about Edmund Burke?” Me: *points to bookshelf* 🙄🙄

When my dental appointment is the best part of my day #TaxDay

SoCal teens in rain: I don’t need a jacket or umbrella; this hoodie is fine. Moms: hoodies are not water-repellent. Teens: meh, bruh.

According to a survey, less than half of U.S. adults read two or more books last year. I buck the trend, reading 63. (Some in my circle, like @JanRutherfordCA, read far more.) Plus: mentions of the Inland Empire in 3 nonfiction books. dailybulletin.com/2024/01/14/few…

@DavidAllen909 Yes! It was delightful. I saw “The Man of LaMancha” a few weeks ago & I am in awe of how they got that from this book.

@JanRutherfordCA You did it!!

“It was his great good fortune to live a madman, and die sane.” @DavidAllen909 Thanks for the encouragement!

In the last few weeks, we've seen many people wrestle with: ⚪ Core values ⚪ Universal principles ⚪ Morality ⚪ The laws of war ⚪ The rules of engagement ⚪ International law ⚪ Philosophy We've seen them attempt to define/re-define these in real time. Meanwhile, thinkers are like: ⚪This is why we debate these principles during times of peace. ⚪This is why we think of these things always, not just when needed. ⚪THIS IS WHY WE STUDY HISTORY.

@mikegatto Do you deliver?

Machito. Heaven.

@KristinOlsenCA @ucmerced @AdamGrayCA That sounds like so much fun!

Had so much fun teaching ⁦@ucmerced⁩ Political Science legislative simulation class today w/ class professors Nathan Monroe & ⁦@AdamGrayCA⁩! It’s the 5th or 6th year I’ve done it, and we always have a great time w/ the students! #FutureStudentLeaders #SJValleyProud

RIP Dianne Feinstein. A tremendous public servant who always listened and asked good questions. She was tough, graceful, kind & passionate advocate for CA.

Fewer and fewer people at the 9/11 remembrance ceremony every year, but just as important as ever to honor the lives lost and renew our commitment to liberty. Thank you to all who served then and serve now. #NeverForget

@MattRexroad You’r inspired me. I’m on Day 10!

We're excited to announce the addition of two new partners @GritznerLisa in Los Angeles and @JanRutherfordCA in the Inland Empire!! #LosAngeles #SoCal #Politics tinyurl.com/vhh8auaf

Pleased to be joining @Calstrat1 as the new Inland Empire partner. Eager to continue helping people make government work for them, just from the other side now. calstrat.com/news_update/ca…

@AlexCVassar Many happy returns!

It is once again my birthday. So, for those who missed the fun all those years ago... here are some pictures of your [possibly] favorite legislative historian in the old days.

@DaveCorbin16 Football is life! ⚽️

So, I was at REI today minding my own business and I noticed people taking selfies with this guy. Apparently he is on the show Ted Lasso? I don’t watch much tv so I don’t know 😂😂. He was definitely a cool guy though, had an opportunity to chat with him for a bit
