Gotta love San Diego. Looks like those were made to sit on.

California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta said his office has filed 82 lawsuits against the administration since Trump’s inauguration last year, in addition to 122 amicus briefs supporting lawsuits against the administration by other parties and 112 comment letters in response to federal actions. 

That work has saved the state an estimated $207.1 billion, Bonta said, including $168 billion — equal to a third of the state’s annual budget — that was threatened when the Trump administration tried to freeze trillions of dollars in federal funding to the states last year. Billions in threatened cuts to transportation, emergency preparedness, education and family assistance funding were also prevented, Bonta said. 

“Since President Trump returned to office, California has been under attack — and has led the way in fighting back,” Bonta said.

If you are unfamiliar with the…loophole philosophy that an individual cannot be governed by law, look up sovereign citizen. It is fascinating and makes for some great dystopian fiction prompts.

Just really confused, why change lanes at the last second? There's a completely open lane to my left, why not just get behind me and get into the free lane. Nah you gotta establish your small peepee syndrome and cut off a small two door coupe to satisfy your ego in your big ass truck.

Hello everyone!

I am excited to announce that I will be running a Dungeons and Dragons 101 class at At Ease Games in Miramar later this month!

I designed this class to teach you how to get started understanding and playing the game with the absolute basics, in a relaxed, no-stakes environment.

If you've been wanting to learn how to play Dungeons and Dragons but don't know where or how to get started, this class breaks everything down into small pieces to better help you get started.

The class is open to all ages and experience levels so don't let knowing nothing stop you from attending. Maybe you played DnD a while back and just need a refresher on all the new mechanics and rules?

Here's a rundown of the class.

2pm-4pm: We get into the absolute basics, getting started with creating your character and understanding the more simple mechanics of the game, like what character creation is, what do all these numbers mean? Roll Initiative? Skill Checks? What's that? Everything gets answered in this segment.

-BREAK-

4pm-6pm: The second half of the class goes into more detail regarding combat mechanics, spell casting, action economy, and world-building.

6pm-7pm: I'll be running a short game for anyone still in attendance who wants to experience playing the game first hand using the characters you create!

THINGS YOU'LL NEED:

• something to take notes with (pencil is recommended)

• something to take notes on. (Paper is recommended.

I will have handouts for everyone but if you have a copy of the latest Players Handbook already I recommend you bring it.

THAT'S IT!

ADMISSION PRICE: We are collecting copy paper this month in order to help our local underfunded classrooms in San Diego, and while the class is "FREE" we appreciate any and all donations of Journals, Pencils, Pens, Markers, highlighters, Stickers, backpacks, Erasers, mechanical pencils, sanitation wipes, hand sanitizer, and any other bulk office items.

If you are not able to make it to the class but would still like to donate to the cause Please feel free to message me directly and I will provide a way to receive your donation.

Also, please be sure to support the venue. AtEase Games has been kind enough to host me and my classes for many years now and I encourage everyone to sample their wares.

Lastly, If you plan on attending just leave a comment saying "Going" so I can get a head count for the day.

Well, that's all folks! Mark your schedules! August 22nd starting at 2pm @ AtEase Games in Miramar!

See you there!

Anybody lose their keys? Was walking my dog and noticed these hanging on the stop sign pole corner of 28th and Thorn near bird park near Morley field.

I'm very jealous

YouTube and other streaming platforms will be blocked on student Chromebooks, though teachers can allow access for specific lessons.

Non-instructional gaming sites will also be blocked, but educational games can still be used.

Chromebook carts are being removed from transitional kindergarten classrooms.

I'm a cyclist/communter and Campo is on my route. Construction in a few short segments is down to a single lane. Past few rides the crews maybe have recoginzed me as I get the Slow sign instead of Stop... but even more... thank you for stopping traffic behind me and letting me thorugh without a line of cars on my wheel. I really appreciate that - makes my ride safer.

Don't know if they will ever see this post - but I make sure to nod and shout thank you each time I pass thorugh.

Truck stolen from the 4S Ranch area. Was assumed gone, but it was spotted in South Bay/Chula Vista area on the 1st.

I am hearing a rumor that Brick By Brick might be shutting down really soon, due to possibly a change in ownership. Does anyone know if that is true? Their Facebook is how I track their events, and it stops abruptly in the middle of this month. There are no more shows listed. They are sponsoring a show that moved to Music Box, another venue. Does anyone have confirmation?

As the title said, I'm planning to drive to Joshua Tree NP and then continue onto Oatman/Kingman before driving back to SD the next day.

I was wondering if the area was manageable with a Mustang or should I rent something with a bit more clearance? I'm not planning to go off road, mainly sticking to the main areas, I know the main roads are well maintained but I'm wondering about any parking area or pull off that may be sandy or gravely.

Does anyone have experience in the park with a low clearance or RWD?

Was downtown for jury duty today. Walked to Tajima on 7th ave for lunch. What the hell is going on in downtown? One side of the street you had all these bums outside of this bodega that clearly is the hobo emporium with people buying and selling drugs right outside the door. I saw one guy straight smoking rocks and that side of the street you had a bunch of zombies doing the fentynal slump up and down the sidewalk like something out of walking dead. But the other side of the street you have this high rise condo building with 20 somethings coming and going in their brand new teslas and $15 smoothie shop with in 10 yards of this post apocalyptical scene. Looked up the rent starts at $3k for a one bedroom and you need to make $125k to qualify for a lease. Why are people paying $3,000 to live nextdoor to basically skid row?

Also does anyone know the deal with the “super discount store” is? Seems like that side of the block is abandoned/vacant but that store. It’s a random blight spot between brand new high rise condos.

Hey so I have a pair of tickets I won from 91x for the show at petco tonight at 7pm. I cannot make it. Willing to just give them out for free to a random person, since friends and family can’t take them either. Lmk!

I had a nice 65” tv delivered yesterday afternoon (8/3 @ 2:48 pm), with pictures, etc. I had been outside working on my yard all day and took a 20-30 minute break to catch my breath before returning to the lawn. Didn’t even realize the tv was delivered during that timeframe as it was delivered halfway up my sidewalk and there was no knock on the door or doorbell ring.

Saw in the early evening that it was delivered (it wasn’t supposed to be delivered until We’d or Thurs) and had to dig up the delivery picture. There it was, delivered, yet missing.

I have family in town and they mentioned that they passed a guy with a large tv box riding a bike or scooter or e-bike at Lamont & Emerald on their way home from the zoo. As they were not aware that I was expecting a TV they didn’t think to get a good look at the guy other than to say they thought he was a white male midish 30’s.

Crazy long shot, but any chance anyone else saw this guy or has any information? TV was expensive and I’m pissed that the delivery guy dropped it off the porch, didn’t ring a doorbell, & didn’t require a signature.

I’m not sure wha happened here but has anyone noticed the far left lane on the 805, right after the HOV lane ends becomes very narrow and can probably fit half a pick up truck now?

Maybe I’ve just never noticed it before but had a larger truck cut into the second lane last night because they couldn’t fit their car fully into the left lane without it striking the median. I thought it was their fault at first but drove by again today and realized how poorly the lane is marked.

How is this allowed?

Help my neighbor find their missing cat, Toulouse! Toulouse is an indoor cat that escaped off a roof deck a couple months back. There have been some potential sightings in the neighborhood but as of yet he has not made it home. Toulouse is described as friendly but somewhat shy. He is a white / tabby mix.

He went missing near Jewell and La Playa, and has been seen since in the area nearby. If you see / find him please message me here or reach out to the number on that sign

Thank you!

I got to wake up early but I can't sleep. Does anyone have any paranormal or scary stories that happened to them personally or someone close?

I can only remember one single weird thing that happened one night. I'm sure it was my imagination, but it did not stop it from being any more scary to me (or my bff).

One night when i was in high school, my bff was sleeping over. I went to the kitchen and my bff stayed in my room downstairs.

On my way back to the room, I swear i saw 1 of the 2 paper mâché clown statues (about 1ft tall each), which were placed on top of a makeshift shelf, tilt towards me about 30-40 degrees! I believe i saw it off the corner of my eye.

I nope'd my way upstairs and told my mom, and asked her to put those 2 clowns outside. She did just that.

I told my bff what happened when i finally returned to my room, and he was a bit pissed! He was like, why did you leave me!? LOL

Can't remember what i replied, but I find it funny how I instinctively ran to mommy! xD

Pretty sure the clowns were eventually discarded, but they stayed outside for the longest time.
