Prachtig komedie

It's actually an interesting question. As sad as it is.

Oh god someone make it stop

One of the greatest and complete Centers to ever play the game, and it's not because he has been my all time favorite LA King. #GoKingsGo

“These are the people who will march in the street against Trump’s nativist’s rhetoric and then turn around and tell you that San Francisco is full.” young guy gives an impassioned speech on how lefty NIMBYs (in SF and everywhere) betray their values. The bill passed! www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6E4ov66/

This protest sign in South Korea says everything about US efforts to lure foreign manufacturing investment. 🤡 @apnews.com

And I JUST NOW HEARD, that the commission voted to advance the Mayor’s #FamilyZoningPlan by a vote of 4-3 (all four supportive votes were appointed by Mayor @londonbreed.bsky.social over the past several years, my thanks as always to her thoughtful appointments)

*cracks knuckles* we are out here at Planning to support the Family Zoning Plan. It’s the next item up. We were already counterprotested at the rally this morning, so expect a rowdy crowd and lots of comment

HUGE HOUSING NEWS: The Assembly just passed our bill allowing more homes near public transportation, SB 79! We need more housing & we need it near transit. It’ll reduce traffic congestion & carbon emissions & increase transit ridership & affordability. Go housing! Go transit!

Some very smart people on here could have more humility over whether ends justify means.

No matter how much harm and hypocrisy Kirk represents, nothing good comes out of this.

San Francisco neighbors: if the Family Zoning Plan fails without a viable alternative, it will signal to the state of California that we are so incapable of fulfilling our housing obligations, they will kick in the "builder's remedy" to allow any development imaginable.

Today, the message was clear: transit is not optional. Fund transit now.

I'll be there.

Schuhmachen freude

Segregationist design in the 21st century does not happen with some sweeping decree, it happens in the subtle everyday concessions to the territorialism of the home owning class, an alarming number of which co-opt anti-gentrification talking points to justify their own claim to space.

Homeland Security claims it has a warrant for the entire Hyundai plant in Ellabell, GA outside Savannah. A masked agent is seen in a video speaking with non-white employees there, saying construction has to stop immediately.

Wonder if we hear any more stories like this after inclusion becomes illegal.

I thought Urban Renewal was pretty bad.

DressX blames an outside firm for the ads, even though their site had an "Undress" button that was removed after we asked about it. Whatever the reason, it's NUTS to me that the incentive system for the online information ecosystem is such that this would happen. indicator.media/p/dressx-ai-...

Zoom in on the pavement for some truth telling.

My dream is to see a BART station in Marin County with a bunch of apartment blocks around it, with a stream of NIMBY tears flowing out into the bay because it's denizens now have share their town with the baristas and house cleaners that work there. That would technically make it "waterfront"

Loling hard that this came down during the statewide anti sb79 rallies.

Boosting housing density near public transit should be uncontroversial. But for some reason it is, and that's why it's a reason to celebrate.

I finally got around to watching John Wick for the first time. The only moment I was ever able to relate in this manosphere fever dream was him riding the bus because he didn't have a car. That was it. Nothing else.

If your mother in law charges this much for a paltry 16 ounces of her kimchi, you should consider getting a divorce.

Assuming that Age Verification is good because the alternative constitutes a giveaway to Big Tech is the type of easy "anti corporatist" catnip for audiences who don't like to think about systemic implications that makes such things really bad for democracy.

He wants "new people" here! *wink nod nod wink*, a "new demographic" *wink nod wink wink*

Some of you would be amazed at the frequency with which people in America's Most Progressive City go full blood and soil

Sure, my kids are coming unhinged. But (a note of pride enters my voice) not about a new bike lane!

Housing brings out the most nativistic impulses from incumbent wealth holders. As soon as housing politics becomes a proxy for "defending American values" for the right, we're basically doomed to trench warfare.

There is no possible justification for limiting e-bikes to 15mph but not cars.

I dunno, two Stanley Cups still feels pretty good.

Believe me, the conclusion of this isn't: "See? This is what happens when you set the market free!" The conclusion is: "See? This is what happens when eliminate socialism for property owners." Socialism is fine, just don't design it exclusively for rich people in a relentlessly capitalist system.

The data is abundantly clear: if we want to make housing broadly affordable to low-income households, we need to reform zoning and build a lot of new homes. www.pew.org/en/research-...

The Trump administration’s new policy requiring applicants for student and exchange visas to set social media accounts to “public” for government review is a dangerous expansion of existing social media collection efforts. This policy gravely chills free expression.

All of which is a roundabout way of saying zentropi.ai is now open for everyone! Free tier for testing, enterprise tier includes optimization. We've believed our system could take a 3-month process and reduce it to 3 days. Seeing it proved out with 50 experts? Worth the whole conference. 🧵 9/9

Bike lanes were installed on Deadly Del Mar to help calm down speeding. It worked. But drivers were so incensed, they tossed out their city council member & ripped out the bike lanes. Deaths resumed bsky.app/profile/tara...

Age Verification now required to view r/IsraelCrimes and r/UkraineWarFootage to comply with the UK Online Safety Act. Remember, this isn't about keeping kids away. It's about reducing the overall visibility of things the govt doesn't want you to see. www.404media.co/uk-users-nee...
