You do not fuck with Gran-Gran.

I would have pre-cerified plans available. You want to build a home/office/ADU? You can pick from a set of approved plans known to meet code. If you select from one of those you have building approval. No meetings. No individual review. Don't block custom work but give people an easy path as well.

Like when DSA laid off staff to close a budget hole and the union claimed it was a CBA violation? Seeing a socialist org take the position that unionized staff needs should take a back seat to management needs was eye opening. Supporting all unions except their own.

Part of being a YIMBY that’s 100% core to me is people may propose things I don’t like or even things that temporarily inconvenience me and that is okay because morally, the balance is that we need more homes more than we need to cater to my preferences

A new bilingual school is opening up in SF. I decide to check it out. Annual Tuition: $52,000. 😱 Starting to understand why parents are always broke.

This is why making fun of ICE works so well. They're all like mini-Cartmans demanding respect and freaking out when they don't get what they think they are owed.

Finally saw Superman tonight. @jamesgunn.bsky.social did a fantastic job and nails the essence of Superman as a man of hope. Haven't seen that since the 1978 film with Christopher Reeve. As an #accessibility bonus the ASL version is included on the digital copy. moviesanywhere.com/movie/superm...

Congressional reps are going to need US Marshals for protection. If ICE is going to illegally assault a member of Congress someone needs to hold them accountable.

This is a gorgeous photo.

Left NIMBYs are going to trigger the Builder's Remedy in SF, aren't they? FYI @maxdubler.com @wafoli.bsky.social @resnikoff.bsky.social 48hills.org/2025/12/rich...

Same. I've literally said the words "We want to follow the old vaccine schedule, not that RFK nonsense," to my daughter's primary care doctor. We value science (and saving lives) over "vibes" in this house.

HOLY SHIT, THEY ARE DOING IT! The Variety story was inaccurate. "a newly restored version of the classic Star Wars (1977) theatrical release — later renamed Star Wars: A New Hope — will play in theaters for a limited time." COWARDS COMMENT RETRACTED! Direct from: www.starwars.com/news/star-wa...

RE-RELEASE STAR WARS (NOT A New Hope) FOR THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY YOU COWARDS!

In Chicago, a Nativity scene features a zip-tied baby Jesus and Roman centurions in "ICE" vests. Near Boston, Mary, Joseph, and Jesus are absent from a Nativity scene, replaced with a sign reading "ICE was here." It's all part of growing religious blowback to ICE. religionnews.com/2025/12/05/i...

I remember when Reed said he wanted Netflix to become HBO before HBO became Netflix. HBO was seen as Netflix’s biggest competitor just over a decade ago.

Scathing dissent from Justice Kagan: "[T]his Court reverses that judgment based on its perusal, over a holiday weekend, of a cold paper record. We are a higher court than the District Court, but we are not a better one when it comes to making such a fact-based decision."

😍 THOSE EARS! 😍

If anyone cares at all, EV battery recycling is now hitting 99% recovery for important metals Please remind me again what the recycle rate for fossil fuels is interestingengineering.com/energy/recyc...

Wow. Those Blue Man Group shows are getting violent.

We saw a district in Tennessee engineered to be R+22 swing to be ~R+13 this week. I'm betting a bunch of those new districts in Texas don't have that kind of margin to lose. When we empower Texans to vote, the GOP bites it, so let's take care of Texans, y'all.

Trump's 2020 election voter fraud pardon is so broad, it may cover a Republican who illegally cast an extra ballot for Trump. DOJ says Trump didn't mean it like that, but plaintiff (correctly IMO) says the plain language of pardon controls and can't be delegated. www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

Would this be considered a #3A violation? They're not permanently staying (quartered) but seems they are using this woman's yard as a staging area, refusing to show her a warrant to access her property, and demanding that she leave her property. @kathryntewson.bsky.social @legalminimum.bsky.social

Open AI doesn't want to be transparent about what's in their datasets - this bill would force them. If you're pro AI regulation (esp if you're in Bay Area), please show up and offer your support for this bill! If you can't make it, help spread the word! RSVP link: bit.ly/44lRMsX Details below 👇

CVS has entered the #lawsky chat.

Difficult art can still be good art. Requiem for a Dream is both a fantastic movie about addiction and a disturbing movie about addiction. It would have been a shame if it never got distribution simply because it was disturbing.

I can only imagine the mentions that @kohler.bsky.social is gonna get after this goes viral. 😁

Wow. It appears to be legal in Utah to shoot someone who is openly carrying, even if they do not pose a threat and are not pointing their gun at you. #2A

Literally Soviet Style “Papers Please” dictatorship. AMERICAN CITIZENS HAVE NO LEGAL OBLIGATION TO SHOW PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP TO ICE. A “citizenship checkpoint” is not probable cause to detain anyone who doesn’t provide papers. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/c...

this should just immediately write you a ticket when you turn it on

Oh yes. If you haven't seen the original, I rank it up there with Shaun of the Dead, New Nightmare, and Tucker and Dale vs Evil. #ReadyOrNot2 www.youtube.com/watch?v=7K3s...

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Every single time this has been tested it works. UBI when?

If you had signed the bill requiring Intelligent Speed Assist (ISA) in vehicles, this would have increased roadway safety and saved lives, but instead you vetoed the bill! Saying this should be done on a national level. The Trump administration isn't going to do that... @familiesforsafestreets.org

"This is called the fog of war." Hegseth is treating the wanton murder of random people like it's a video game. We're fucked if he starts playing X-COM.

They sent mad_men_update_final_final_v2 when they were supposed to send mad_men_update_final_final_v2_done!

Jesus fuck. We already have the data. Waymos overall safety record is way above human drivers. And unlike human taxi drivers Waymos defer to pedestrians and cyclists in ways that other don’t. And I’m speaking as someone who as ridden the cars and biked SFs streets.

It’s wild how people will instantly rally against Waymo but we never see the same level of invective when human drivers kill people. “It was an accident.” 1. Keep your pets leashed. 2. If local politicians treated human drivers killing people like this we would already have much safer streets.

Huh. They went from "WaPo is lying" to "He did it" super-fast. This admin really is speed running war crimes. thehill.com/homenews/562...

Brendan Fraser knows the risks.

Q: Why do Republicans talk about voter fraud so much? A: Because it's a topic they are intimately familiar with!

This sums up the current games media landscape so well.

Oh shit, it's on. Costco don't play.

This AI designed Mr. Beast style house has no front door.

Don't wait for me. I'm busy in the "Kitchon" making the "Dhing" for dinner.

How about that? Even with SF's limited upzoning (still doesn't meet state requirements), the city economist says rents will go down. The law of supply and demand does apply to housing. Downzoning and blocking housing just puts extra $$$ in the hands of landlords. missionlocal.org/2025/10/sf-u...

If USSC upholds this theory of secondary liability, gun control advocates are going to have a field day.

Most of my reviews are usually finished at 2am, this tracks

I mean, if someone decoded the coordinates, I'd say the statue is theirs. Bring it home and enjoy the latest interactive game from FromSoft. It's super realistic, even better than VR!
