• A yellowtail butterfly perched on a bright purple thistle bloom that looks like a ball with small soft points rising off the bloom’s body. Another thistle bloom is to the right, but not yet open. The swallowtail is almost entirely yellow and black, but at the tail are patches of bright blue and just a touch of red. (remote)

• A vertical image with colors ranging from blue at the top to golden in the middle and red at the bottom. At the top, a bright blue star is illuminating surrounding clouds of gas, making the top third of the image appear blue. Below the bright star, a couple dozen fainter stars shine yellow. One of them has a fuzzy, golden arc to its left. At the center of the image, a brighter yellow star illuminates the surrounding gas. It is partially obscured by dark streaks and clouds of dust, making it resemble the moon on a cloudy evening. The bottom of the image is noticeably darker than the rest, with the exception of a dramatic splash of red almost like a bug splat on a windshield. A handful of faint, red stars also appear there.

Me: [in line at the programmer's bureau looking at assignment] Don't you have some other work? I'd rather not program in Javascript.

Bureaucrat: Tough luck, kid!

Me: I really wouldn't say I'm a a kid anym...

Bureaucrat: Suck it up! Get with the program! Javascript is everywhere, like bacteria. If you're alive and breathing, you can't avoid it especially if you're a programmer. Here, learn these frameworks. Come back next week for the new ones.

Me: *sigh* ... [shuffles off]

Bureaucrat: Next!

• Mayor Thao said in a statement Wednesday night, “I am deeply disappointed that the A’s have chosen not to negotiate with the City of Oakland as a true partner, in a way that respects the long relationship between the fans, the City and the team. The City has gone above and beyond in our attempts to arrive at mutually beneficial terms to keep the A’s in Oakland. In the last three months, we’ve made significant strides to close the deal. Yet, it is clear to me that the A’s have no intention of staying in Oakland and have simply been using this process to try to extract a better deal out of Las Vegas. I am not interested in continuing to play that game - the fans and our residents deserve better. "I am incredibly proud of what we have accomplished as a City, including securing a fully entitled site and over $375 million in new infrastructure investment that will benefit Oakland and its Port for generations to come. In a time of budget deficits, I refuse to compromise the safety and well-being of our residents. Given these realities, we are ceasing negotiations and moving forward on alternatives for the redevelopment of Howard Terminal.” (remote)
