Last Week This Friday: May 1, 2020 | Alameda NAS, Poppies, AI Memes, and More

So what is “Last Week This Friday”? It’s just me sharing what made me happy last week in the hopes it brings a laugh or that you discover something new <3 If you’re feeling inspired, leave a comment sharing what recently made you smile …

Today is International Workers’ Day and day 46 of sheltering in place in San Francisco. Sending love and solidarity to the workers of the world <3

The title for this post is 100% indebted to John Oliver’s Last Week Tonight. I love John Oliver and the way he delivers relevant information with tender loving care and a dash of wake-the-fuck-up. As a matter of fact, Last Week Tonight along with Asian Boss have had some on-point well-researched videos covering COVID-19 that I found very informative. Here’s a YouTube Playlist of the collected videos.

I came across this new AI meme generator a few days ago, but I had to share it now as it had me laughing out loud at the absurd randomness of it all! Here are some of the memes I got:

And here are some pics I took last weekend while exploring the old Alameda Naval Air Station, which was shut down and largely abandoned in the early 90’s.

Much love,
