"Chan: I’d run my congressional office just like I run my City Hall office — I’m hands-on and accessible, a policy wonk with practical solutions" This is a threat, not a promise (and only not a lie because I believe SHE believes she's a practical wonk)

Please God it would be so fucking funny

There are at least 3 ways this is impossible under State and Federal law, to say nothing of how he could not give less of a shit about actual taxes (his appointees are about to hand millions to oil companies), but what's really important here is he gets his name and face in front of resistlibs again

The fuck you mean LA doesn't have RCV for municipal elections

My union is asking the public to sign this petition asking the board to reject layoffs/AI and end bloated executive pay. The Academy doesn't care about its employees, but they DO care what the public thinks about them! Please sign & share. It would mean a lot to me. www.calacademyworkersunited.org

Speaking not as a Texan but as someone with Texas adjacency by marriage, blood, and ride-or-die friendship: everyone not in Texas needs to stop perceiving their Senate race for the next 5.25 months, thank you

Hey Chicago friends, start fighting this NOW

Uh oh

She bounce on my castle until I sustain my nuclear family lifestyle

Getting kicked out of socialist groupchat for saying "I had fun today"

daniel lurie doesnt care about about the city he only cares about giving more money to cops who dont even live here and his billionaire friends

"I consider particularly insidious the [ideology] that suggests that every person must earn or justify his or her own worth, to the point of attributing greater value to those who are more efficient or effective."

If you hold that (1) the man is visibly unwell at 79 and (2) is also in front of a camera most of the day, you kinda have to conclude he's more likely to drop dead on live TV than anyone else in the world. We don't talk about it, but, man, that would add a whole different layer to the Event.

Seeing "Tom Steyer" and "trans athletes" in proximity minutes after finishing my ballot was not the adrenaline spike I needed (but this is good!)

SCOTUS Catholics in shambles

Tearing up a little just reading the table of contents. I'm definitely going to need a print copy of this to take it all in

I live in the city because I can leave a dinner party pleasantly drunk with a bunch of friends all taking the same train, find another friend coming home from a wedding at the same station, then 2 stops later run into acquaintances on their way home from photographing OTHER friends at their dive bar

I love Malört so much I have twice taken a medicine cup of it on a race course

Do it Seattle there's literally no downside

I don't think this is true, but I also highly doubt this amendment will ever pass. Speed and red light cameras have trigger mechanisms that differentiate them from always on, auto harvesting ALPRs. Worst case a human has to read the plate that a speed camera catches

DS9 fuckin rips

Sometimes I wonder how much our current polycrisis is directly downstream of "people born in an industrialized world don't know where shit comes from." Someone who thinks water simply comes from a pipe and electricity from a wire has zero understanding of how, say, a datacenter impacts the world

Made this for y'all @shutdownfullcast.bsky.social @jasonkirk.fyi @hollyanderson.bsky.social @edsbs.bsky.social

When Fetterman had his (first?) stroke people were careful to point out that speech and auditory processing difficulties did not mean cognitive problems, but if these quotes are verbatim texts...........

Serious question, do EICs or I guess equivalent of publications often conduct high-profile interviews themselves?

A private high school in San Francisco wants an exception to bike parking minimums because “nobody bikes here” An educational institution can’t figure out that people won’t bike where they can’t park their bikes. Lol

An LLM is a fully automated scheming vizier whose INTERNAL MONOLOGUE is subpoenable.

Well this fucking sucks what the fuck

ENTER GHOST by Isabella Hammad is about Hamlet and Palestine AND ALSO describes the collapse of relationships with such surgical ferocity I need to lie down after every other chapter

I've walked out of places when the fuckin video board menus change too quickly to read (why are you playing ads for the place I am STANDING IN), but sure let's deliberately confuse the people in the Sociopath Generator 5000

Let's go girls

King shit

This is horrifying and outrageous AND ALSO kinda reads like they're a nonprofit attempting to "deport" millions of white people

I think my most cancelable SF take is I unironically love Bay to Breakers, and I only wish more of its participants held onto this spirit more of the time

you will never guess what this is in reply to

I do appreciate that an English newspaper is like “we’re gonna put like 70 English novels on this list”

Oh good the party house is back at it

I feel like I'm being gaslit by the entire SF political scene about businesses taxes. WE PASSED A CEO TAX IN 2020. IT WAS A LANDSLIDE. THEY USED SMALL BUSINESS SYMPATHY TO SNEAK A REPEAL IN 2024 AND *NO ONE EVER MENTIONED IT*

My absolute favorite part of this video is all the guys who say “What is this?” You can definitely tell they were not warned to expect Elmo.

College sports freaks (laudatory) are our fiercest investigative reporters, an ongoing series

Japan is one of the most R&D intensive non-US countries, and RIKEN is its most prestigious (non-university) research institute. If you isekai’d it into the US, it only has the fourth biggest R&D budget in the state of North Carolina, which is like the twelfth biggest state bsky.app/profile/awma...

If enough progs can get in behind Steyer we can absolutely shut Republicans out of the race in November, which will not just guarantee a Democratic win, but will depress Republican turnout across the board

San Francisco Mayor Lurie would never. Lurie is forcing a severe austerity budget that will defund services for the most vulnerable people, terminate hundreds of gov workers, and cut taxes on big businesses. Call it Cruel Capitalism or Secret Republicanism. It is government that harms people.

While there's not much to hang your hat on here, it is some of the best gumshoe reporting the Chronicle has done in a long time

I have a structured settlement but I need cash now

Bankruptcy and dissolution is the moderate outcome

Second time in two days drivers have crashed into the N in Cole Valley

This is how I imagine @icecube45.net at work

Happy birthday to John Brown, you can argue with his methods but you can’t deny that fighting with a sword in the age of guns was scary as fuck and also awesome

I just don’t know any other option
