Today East Bay Assemblymember Bauer-Kahan introduced the "E-Bike Accountability Act", proposing mandatory registrations & license plates for all Class 2 & 3 e-bikes. Learn more & join us in opposition to this counter-productive proposal by signing our petition at bikeeastbay.org/SayNoToEbike...

OpenAI exec James Dyett calling out the cowardice

Call your reps. Let them know that if they vote for ICE funding, you will not vote for them ever again. Representatives need to feel the heat. NO on ICE funding. No excuses.

Genuinely insane we are living in a world where the Danish have to deploy a battlegroup to protect themselves against America. Makes my blood turn molten, honestly

this is legitimately an insane thing to think when looking at your child

I have come to despise cleverness in political messaging. No bon mots. No highlighting hypocrisy. I want leaders with the subtlety of an anvil

Yes, I am a single issue voter

I feel pretty misunderstood by people living in rural areas, and yet mysteriously, this isn’t considered a problem. I’m sick of putting up with this idiotic display of obeisance to chucklefucks simply because they live in rural areas.

I think Democrats should focus on kitchen table issues, like not having a secret police force arbitrarily murdering civilians and having laws actually mean something.

i agree with the sentiment that blue states under attack shouldn’t have to pay our taxes into the feds, and the reality is that they don’t, there’s none of *your* money for the states to withhold from the feds

no, being a real shitlord to people who you find annoying on social media from the comfort and convenience of your own home is not actually praxis, much as you may wish it were so

Driver Perfectly Describes Pedestrian They Couldn't See.

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

This is nothing like Iraq. That was a catastrophe and moral atrocity, but also, Bush was incredibly popular, spent a year securing broad public support, received congressional authorization. Trump is very unpopular, has not bothered to build any case, and is doing this illegally and unilaterally.

A few months ago I got the story of a duck who aspires to curling greatness stuck in my brain and simply couldn't get it out until I did this

I find "America isn't really set up for it" to be an annoying rebuttal to any sort of proposal to reduce car dependency. Our leaders used policy to create a system of car dependency and we can sure as hell use policy to undo that. There are absolutely barriers, but do nothing is not a solution.

I can randomly have road work make me late, risk running over a kid with a bike, and help finance terrible energy policy and climate change but at least I don’t have to be cold for 15 minutes

Is this cheese grater conscious? Many users feel they're talking to a real person. Scientists say it's time to consider whether they're onto something.

Had a great time at @thewaroncars.bsky.social’s book event tonight. So glad y’all came out west!

@thisdaypod.com I really don’t mind some pointers to cool other podcasts but any chance on turning down the number of “you might also like” posts? Between those and archive episodes that’s more than half the feed I have to go in to manually skip.

Hunter Biden has a point. And a quite colorful one.

I still remember how a naive younger version of me was like “oh yeah I totally would like to be on the e-mail list of this candidate I like so I can hear what they’re up to”. Sigh Also love how donating to candidates I believe in means every Dem across the country gets my e-mail address.

Working from an office was really, really healthy for me. It got me out of the house every day. It got me exercising. A 30-45 min walk or bike ride each way was perfect. I had better work/life boundaries. I left my laptop at work. I had more friends. My social batteries were much bigger.

I'll be honest though, I'm pretty irritated with the state of discourse around this topic on bsky. Believe it or not, a lot of people are quitting their remote jobs and looking to return to office. A lot of companies have struggled to make remote teams work. We have something to learn from them.

"So if the media were going to put their thumb on the scale – as they inevitably do – they ought to have done so in defense of democracy, the rule of law and human decency. The failure to do so is playing out in our shattered world." That's by Margaret Sullivan. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Hey guys, do you like plushies & cute aliens? If yes, then you might be interested in this plushie my friend is trying to get made. It's her twitch mascot, Dingle. He's so cute, and she's even cuter. She needs 200 ppl, so if you want to help, that would be amazing. www.makeship.com/petitions/di...

I can’t wait till we have our first “Excel interpreted these protein names as dates” style data error in a scientific paper caused by the researcher asking ChatGPT to write a script that winds up having an error in it.

I’ve had this for so long that I forget not everyone does this, but turn off push notifications on your phone for when you get a new e-mail. Nothing that comes in an e-mail is ever urgent.

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.

Trump take nest egg

I’d like to ask every single New Yorker who’s remotely left of center to get actively involved in your local Democratic Party chapter with the goal of driving Schumer, Gillibrand, Hochul, Adams, Cuomo and all the other dead wood into retirement.

A lot of people who would have never bothered doing price comparison when shopping for flights because they were so loyal to WN (and probably thought their fares were still competitive) are about to start doing just that and WN is going to lose a ton of loyal customers.

One reason why I think respectability is stupid is because it's often used as a mask. Such judgements are rarely about the clothes themselves, but more often about the bodies beneath them. To wit, no one raised an issue when Elon wore a graphic t-shirt and ball cap to meet the Trump cabinet.

for all of their fawning over the private sector, this would get you (and your boss, and maybe their boss) fired for cause in any business i have ever worked for

Reminder: Israel is so dysfunctional that it has had five elections in the last six years. It recently failed to stop the biggest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. The idea that these people control your own country is a cope by folks who are bad at politics and don't get how it works.

USAID matters. I've often disagreed with their strategy and choices, but their work saves more lives than any philanthropy can. It's a rounding error in the federal budget, and one of the best things we do as a country. To see it destroyed overnight by one unelected man is an unmitigated horror.

Some random barely even official federal employees without a security clearance forced their way into systems with classified information (which I’m sure one of them will spill some day) and put on leave anyone who tried to stop them. But Dems are still talking about tariffs.

Opened the SF Chronicle app today and found three different stories of traffic violence from around the bay in like 2 minutes.
