I wanna try GTA VI. Last time i played GTA i was a kid playing San Andres on PS2. Really am not a gamer anymore. What should i do? PC or console? (Gotta buy either one).

My latest on how income inequality has widened in Oakland and SF has lost its middle class. In addition to more housing, Oakland should diversify its economy with middle class jobs to avoid what has become of the City. darrellowens.substack.com/p/oakland-do...

Just found out what business is replacing Fish and Bird and i wont say cause i dont think its public yet but im fucking excited. I love this place and it absolutely needs the extra space

Should be legal citywide

Basically the Supreme Court is 5-4 on whether America is white man's country

my god, birthright citizenship was 6-3, with alito, gorsuch, and thomas dissenting, and kavanaugh dissenting as to whether the 14th amendment provides birthright citizenship the plain language of the 14th amendment survives by one vote

*whispers* Will Stancil's right about groups of people making up elaborate backstories for prominent posters to justify their shared dislike of them. I know this because they've done it for me and the person they've invented bears absolutely no resemblance to who I am.

Trump: I don't want to drive housing prices down. I want to drive housing prices up

New for PUBLIC COMMENT: If the realtors are unhappy, that's a sign that your city may be doing something right on housing policy publiccomment.blog/p/falling-ho...

Japanese dwarf flying squirrel (Pteromys momonga), a tiny, nocturnal rodent endemic to Japan 🇯🇵 Despite their name, they glide rather than fly, using a special flap of skin called a patagium to move between trees.

Every university should be forced to host two research centers that put out diametrically opposed work and whose directors hate each other's guts.

they're calling it "the american century of humiliation" you're hearing it more and more

This guy is senior staff at xAI, fork found in kitchen, etc

I'm going to see Supergirl next week and initial reviews have been pretty average but to see the God himself give this glowing take has re-hyped me.

>I want housing to be affordable >No, not like lowering MY prices. Making other people's prices lower.

Finding out that the infamous hardware store BART agreed to not demolish (which closed shortly anyways) causing the delay-inducing squeeze in the Oakland Wye was the Buffet Fortuna building is radicalizing.

Cancelled buses and 20+ min headways on a high frequency trunk route. Gotta love it.

White men feel least close to their friends, which largely accounts for the gender gap in friendships. It may thus not apply to racial minorities link.springer.com/article/10.1...

“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.”

Substack nazis got really mad about my Trump being Anti-Black article. Lots of "yeah I hate blacks, so what?!" Havent seen behavior like that since Twitter.

What if we kissed 🥺🥺🥺 at EOB on Fiscal New Year’s Eve 📈📊💹🖥️

Its just crazy that we have a US military that just blatantly operates off when the stock market opens.

Nifty geospatial analysis links the graph properties of a place's streets — how many dead ends they have, how many intersections, whether hierarchical or flat — to outcomes like GHG emissions and social isolation. livablecitylab.yale.edu/drawn-apart

Post-WWII Berkeley was very optimistic about the future and during the early discussion of what BART would look like some graduate students whipped up architectural drawings of stations. Back then BART (described as monorail) was assumed to basically stay on Shattuck vs its current westward curve.

I think people imagine there are leagues of Nazis ready to pounce any time you reply to some popular post and lol I hate to break it to you that is some poor guy in the global south running like 100 phones who doesn’t give a flying fuck about western political discourse

I was kinda shocked by how many MPOs just blatantly missed bus stops. I had made far more accurate SB 79 maps like a year ago. It shows how often even public agencies tasked with these major decisions have as little idea what to do as the general public.

You enjoying the show? Sit back and grab a cherry coke; Prop 13 was only the beginning.

Sure but the most important thing we can do is just run metro trains at grade and make cars wait. Japan has radicalized me on this.

the way it works is that if i say, "i'm a black american," sam alito thinks that is "dividing people up by race." but if someone says, "get that jigaboo out of my country," alito thinks, "looks like nothing to me"

The reason the Trump Admin does these pogroms against Haitians and Somalis is because it allows the MAGA project to indulge in their 400 year old anti-Black fantasies but behind the guise of xenophobia against black immigrants rather than the racism we all know well. It's all very cheeky.

It is abundantly clear from Alito's jurisprudence that he thinks the only real racism is discrimination against white people.

CA YIMBY's Eduardo Mendoza argues ugly buildings turn housing-neutral voters into opponents, and the fix isn't more design review. Objective standards targeting coherent style, real materials, and street trees can make beautiful housing the by-right default. cayimby.org/blog/buildin...

“I’d describe [the MOU] as a strategic defeat for Kushnerism…It shows the catastrophe of this war.”

The most annoying thing about the Michelle Obama discourse was all the meta analysis about respect towards the Obama family. My god. The insult is just a old attack on Black women and Trump doesnt like Black people. Its not complicated and its all tiresome. open.substack.com/pub/darrello...

SO remember car-free Telegraph? berkeley city council just approved $1.3 million for design and engineering last night!! enormous thank you to @adenaishii.bsky.social for including this in her budget and @cecilialunaparra.bsky.social and @telegraphforpeople.bsky.social for carrying this forward 🥹🥹

Does anyone else notice that Claude writes code that's often illegible? In school if I wrote code like this I would've lost points for readability. I wonder if when tokens get expensive and companies cutback that so much of engineers' time will be spent just understanding and clarifying AI code.

Damn I remember when I got slammed on twitter in 2020 for suggesting libraries have cafes lol @sadwaffle.bsky.social www.kqed.org/arts/1399090...

among other things, Mamdani just demonstrated he has the power to knock over any D city council district that he looks at side eyed (important since his allies don't yet control a majority of the council)

These are WILD turnout numbers. When AOC upset Joe Crowley in the 2018 Democratic Primary, she got a bit more than half as many votes as Goldman just got to lose by 32%.

"we" (this gov't does not represent us) did not even win the war logistically. We lost on all counts. US munitions depleted. The US economy damaged by the blockade. No regime change. No permanent foreclosure of enrichment. We're back at pre-war status-quo with the US looking horrible—Iran won.

I don't know the specific circumstances of the supervisor's burnout but I don't like the trend of elected officials, particularly younger ones, dealing with so much harassment and issues online that they burn out. It's really bad for our democracy.

The apartment building pictured in this article appears to be getting a rehab. Dumpster outside and a bunch of dehumidifiers running. I can't believe it's not better just to demo the whole thing.

It really is unnerving how much Twitter is just accounts trying to do radio rwanda but in a way that’s impossible to understand unless you understand a language of bizarre ideological shibboleths (these are not dogwhistles, because they aren’t intended to hide the bigotry)

“Iran's national soccer team honored schoolgirls killed in a strike on an elementary school before a friendly against Nigeria in Antalya, Türkiye, on March 27, 2026.“

this is one of the weirdest things conservative elites tell themselves and it's become load bearing to their entire anti anti Trump ideology
