Any car this dangerous should be banned from public roads

California should be boosting transit service and e-bike subsidies in anticipation of the upcoming gas shortage But instead Newsom is way more likely to raid transit funds to offer drivers another gas tax holiday Would any of the upcoming candidates for Governor do better than Newsom here?

We are underreacting to US using Claude to double tap an all-girls elementary school killing over 160 children and everyone who tried to rescue them If you know your tool will "accidentally" target elementary schools, then using it is intentionally committing war crimes www.npr.org/2026/03/04/n...

Join me on a slow roll to check out construction progress for various bikeway projects around Lake Merritt in Oakland! Monthly rides every last Tuesday, starting 5:30pm at Lake Merritt BART. First ride March 31st, 4.4 mi route, all ages/abilities. Details here 👇👇👇 bikeeastbay.org/series/slowk...

With the enshittification of everything technological that I once loved, the appeal of all things analog and offline is getting irresistible…

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

This quote displays why single lane road diets are so beneficial for safety. On multi-lane roads, many people feel obligated to match the behavior of the worst drivers around them. But on single-lane roads people are forced to think for themselves & the best/safest driver sets the standard.

I don't have anything to add beyond what Robert said, but he asks some excellent questions that you and your staff should have answers to before continuing with this legislation. bsky.app/profile/prin...

Of the 12 Walnut Creek fatalities, 8 occurred on just one road: Ygnacio Valley. Advocates who have been fighting for solutions to this crisis for many years can not take your legislation seriously when there is no action on the PRIMARY traffic safety issues in your district, all involving CARS.

It costs Anthropic $5,000 to provide the compute for a $200 subscription Every engineer would gladly take a $50k/yr raise and promise never to use Claude to save the company $60k in compute costs :) www.forbes.com/sites/annato...

Please add your comments to the survey, especially about the dangers of painted bike lanes Painted bike lanes on 2nd are dangerous door-zone lanes used more for double parking, and are not appropriate for a transit hub. OakDOT should follow the bike plan and install protected bike lanes on 3rd

San Jose is an inspiration! I would love to see transit signal priority come to Oakland, perhaps with funding from the regional transit measure

If it’s true that the United States bombed an elementary school and killed scores of children it is an unfathomable crime. I have never been more disgusted to be an American.

A lot of people are going to the Hauge, including the people working at Anthropic who wrote the tools to pick these targets

A traffic violence story doesn't get more American than this. A man whose wife was killed crossing the street advocated for a signal and was later killed at the same intersection himself. Neighbors have been asking for a traffic signal there for 40(!) years.

Noted BART rider, Muni enthusiast, and Olympic gold medalist Alysa Liu will be celebrated next Thursday, March 12th at Oakland City Hall. It's only appropriate to celebrate someone who understands the joy that public transit brings by gathering signatures to save public transit! Come join!

Our genocidal government is using Claude to carpet bomb schools If you work at Anthropic it is your moral responsibility to do everything in your power to stop them

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

The rest of the world should ban Americans from traveling, including the billionaires, until we overthrow our genocidal government

hey so my 35 is completely blocked by a GODDAMN ROBOT

General strike when? I don't know how to continue working like normal while the US carpet bombs yet another civilian population

At this point I can only assume that Waymo is maliciously programmed to block SFMTA buses as a way of taking down their main competition www.reddit.com/r/sanfrancis...

It was HMPV! If you have the congestion, runny nose, sore throat thing that won't go away then you very likely have HMPV along with the rest of us www.sfgate.com/bayarea/arti...

I'll start a nuclear war if the spread is high enough, would have been rejected as too outlandish by even the Fallout writers, and yet here we are

In The Netherlands, if you hit a kid under 14 with your car, it is automatically presumed to be your fault.

I caught this OakDOT crew training on mini sweeper operations in the @cityofoakland.bsky.social 14th St protected bikeway today. Thanks for keeping our streets & bikeways clean!

My entire life has been the US spending trillions to prop up an apartheid state in order to steal cheap oil to subsidize billionaires who burn the planet for fun And it has only gotten worse

Every Google product has been turned into complete junk by AI, and it's coming for every software you use.

At the bottom of the Substack settings page, under "Danger Zone," you can turn off all subscriptions at once. Apologies to all my friends on Substack. I'd gritted my teeth and supported you because I love your work. But Substack's partnership with Polymarket is the last straw for me.

a thing historians will marvel about when they study this era is the extent to which the "war is a thing that happens to poorer, browner people" class went about systematically dismantling every aspect of the global political order that confined the costs of war to poorer and browner people

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...
