Sunset bike rides are the best way to enjoy Oakland's first false Spring

If a human driver did this we would arrest them and take away their license Waymos should be banned until they can handle emergency situations People may have died last night because Austin allowed Waymos to operate on their streets youtu.be/t-HqZybT874?...

CAHSR planning for a 315% farebox recovery means they are going after luxury air travel and not everyday commuters To achieve this ratio they will need completely booked trains with first class tickets This means infrequent service and expensive fares. I suppose that is a fight for another day

“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas and city center in 2021.”

I’m voting for the candidate who promises to imprison everyone who makes money insider trading on war.

Shoutout Oakland!

Measles is a preventable disease that kills and maims children without a vaccine There is no level of hell hot enough for RFK Jr. www.cnn.com/2026/02/27/h...

Who else has this persistent congestion & sore throat cold thing that won't go away and tested negative for covid, flu, rsv, and strep Because I am so over it but its not over with me yet 😡

No surprise, AC Transit cut service in half moving from 72R to 72L on San Pablo Ave and lost half the riders. 72M had a small boost in ridership, and 72 a large increase, but between 3 lines ridership is still significantly down. I hope AC Transit sees this as a failed experiment and restores 72R.

California must protect tenants who were kidnapped by ICE from eviction If we don't then landlords will use ICE to attack their tenants missionlocal.org/2026/02/sanf...

Signature gathering for the regional transit funding measure is in full swing! There are 16 events across the Bay Area this weekend; you can find events in your area by using the Luma map and the tags on the event calendar: luma.com/connectbayarea

maybe these politicians should have put their asses on the line during SB63 discussions to get us a better ballot measure that would guarantee we dont have station closures what the fuck is a resolution going to do NOBODY wants their BART station to close

It’s incredible the wealthiest people in America are all like “how do we make the U.S. more like Hungary?”

There is an emerging and worrying trend I've witnessed recently in YIMBY spaces where people are starting to show a willingness to embrace greenfield sprawl as a solution to our housing and affordability crises. As a reminder: sprawl is a distraction and a ponzi scheme. Nothing more.

Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media. Off the top of my head: www.thehandbasket.co 404media.co www.garbageday.email Add your favorites in the replies. Fuck state-backed media monopolies.

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

The Bohemian Club is a secret society for the rich and powerful here in San Francisco. Yesterday @drboguslaw.bsky.social dropped a list of its members. Today we are releasing a searchable database of its members cross referenced with open source intelligence.🔎 thebohemiangrove.info

I really hate anti-trans politicians, and I especially hate it because it was a culture war issue where we were clearly winning and then a bunch of nominally liberal people at the Times and the Atlantic decided to reverse that and they did.

I don’t really know what to say about this other than that it deserves your full attention. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...

US military is demanding AI for mass surveillance of citizens and autonomous killing drones Google, OpenAI and xAI agreed immediately Anthropic held out for a bit, but looks like they will agree tomorrow We don't have to worry about AGI because humans will destroy humanity first all on our own

I rode my bike on SPA for the fjrst time last Saturday and it was legit scary so i got off ASAP. Unfortunately because a one term councilmember blocked bike lanes there, Berkeley lost out for a generation.

NEW: A hobbyist has created Nearby Glasses, an app that warns you if someone close by is wearing smart glasses. 404 Media spoke to the creator who said he was inspired by our coverage that uncovers how men are wearing Meta's Ray-Bans to covertly film massage parlor workers.

Please tell me there is going to be a better candidate for California Governor than the billionaire *sigh*

Q: Implement as IF A: Brilliant, these complex conditions is best for IFs ✨ Confabulating... Q: Change to CASE A: You are absolutely right, this is perfect for CASE ✨ Extracting splines... Q: Was IF better? A: How insightful, an IF is better here ✨ Fumbling... Claude built a glazer, not a coder

This used to be a road for cars next to a stagnating mall

The only thing worse than zero code is prompt code

@bauerkahan.bsky.social a driver did this, not an e-bike rider. We are in desperate need of efforts to protect Californians from the rampant destruction imposed by drivers on our streets every day. Please work with advocates to craft better legislation to address these priorities.

The #ghostbike with a teddy bear is killing me.

I wonder how many Americans understand that tariffs are taxes. Here's my free idea for the next Governor of California: work with the legislature to pass a law mandating these rebrands "property taxes" -> "local services subscription" "income taxes" -> "California fee"

It costs too much to feed human workers, so we burned the humans to power the machines

This is the kind of thing a rich CEO says at the beginning of a science fiction movie to establish for the audience that he is a sociopath and the villain.

I recently switched to paying for Kagi to replace Google Search, and it is like living in the 2010s again Search actually works! If I had to choose, $10/mo for working search is worth way more to me than a Netflix subscription

WAIT HOLD UP ALYSA LIU WAS ONE OF THE IN-TRAIN ANNOUNCERS FOR THE MUNI METRO L TARAVAL RELAUNCH WTFFFF

Hi my beloved bicycle was seemingly stolen in Millbrae over the weekend; I know it’s a long shot but please holler if you see it out in the Bay, on Bike Index, or a marketplace :,)

Congrats to BART rider and Oakland legend Alysa Liu on winning a gold medal at the Olympics and making the Bay Area proud!

Matt Mahan is over on Twitter defending Prop 13 tax breaks for companies Mahan is just a standard corporate Republican Do NOT vote for him for Governor!

I just did the dumbest thing of my entire career to prove a much more serious point. I tricked ChatGPT and Google, and made them tell other users I’m a competitive hot-dog-eating world champion People are using this trick on a massive scale to make AI tell you lies. I’ll explain how I did it

"Land of the free"

This whole fight over transgender stuff happening on X is so weird to me. The most notable thing about trans issues in the last 5 years has been the enormous, coordinated anti-trans activism campaign across the right, aided by moral cowards in the center. But that campaign is *never mentioned*.

A progressive candidate is a clear path to victory for the Democrats. We want someone who will fight for us as strong as Trump is fighting against us. If leadership forces a centrist compromiser again they are choosing to lose www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Thunder!

Ride in a bike lane and glance into every car that you pass and you'll see an extremely high percentage of people staring at their phones. It's terrible and frightening

Transit riders fully returned to transit in 2022, and surpassed bridge recovery in 2024! Riders are taking fewer trips per-month because we don't go to the office 5 days of the week, but transit has more unique riders now than in 2019 mtc.ca.gov/tools-resour...

The rule of law can’t survive this

Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading. Now we’ve got mumps rolling up. Expect more. This is just the beginning of RFK Jr.’s successful infectious disease reintroduction plan.

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans
