We need our member of Congress to go to the mat for transit, not obstruct it.

The takeaway for cities: “The best bang for your buck is protected bike lanes,” Moran told Bike Talk‘s Nick Richert. “Really focus on bike infrastructure that’s protected. That’s how you grow ridership. That’s how you diversify ridership.” sf.streetsblog.org/2026/07/08/s...

Did you know SF's conflicting housing laws can make us choose between a bathroom and housing? Our Building code requires a restroom on a rooftop common space. But our Planning code inadvertently requires that restroom count against the building's height limit. Make it make sense!

As I've said many times before, we need to be much more aggressive about taking away people's licenses. No one was harmed this time, but what about next time?

For context, the 9 counties of the San Francisco Bay Area has a population of 7.8M (compared to NYC's 8.5M), covers 6,966 square miles (compared to NYC's 472) and permitted just 16,008 new housing units last year.

Oh my fucking god

This is the most purely anti-American thing I've ever heard a politician say, but the media is too obsessed with 3 DSA candidates winning local elections in NY to pay any attention I guess.

What on earth are these… pellets? They look like a pile of shit

Did DoD just admit in a court filing that it used xAI's Grok Gov Model to hit the girls' school on the first day of the Iran war? Based on some passages flagged by @rgoodlaw.bsky.social in DoD's recent filing in NAACP's case against X, it looks like it did 1/

I’m a proponent of the Housing Theory of Everything but even for me this is a bridge too far

How did Noe Valley get gentrified? We just may never know

Pretty disappointing to see SFPD parked in the bike lane directly in front of their station, just 50 feet from their designated parking lot.

@github.com y’all not posting about security incidents here is…. Not good.

"Gen Z has a hip new approach to truth, it's called 'believing whatever flatters the priors of you and your peer cohort'!" I'm going to have nightmares about this piece.

Under no circumstances vote for Jane Kim

IZ is the equivalent to a tax on water production during a drought. I’ve personally seen it kill multiple buildings in my neighborhood. Judging from results, IZ is a tool for reducing housing production. If the government wants the private market to provide something, it should pay for it.

In 1989 S.F. voted in a %.5 sales tax to extend Muni Metro to Bayview, a Central Subway all the way north, and out Geary. So far only one of those is complete. During the same 36-year timeline, L.A. built its entire metro rail system.

This is incredible

Matt Mahan is pro Prop 13. Instant DQ.

FFS. Makes Charlie Brown look like an NFL star.

Well that was some shaking!

Cars, and the whole auto industrial complex, are a vast right wing funding machine. Imo more electeds should think about that when they vote for more highway widenings.

We need to stop prioritizing parking lots over people. Today, I assembled a roundtable to discuss our Building Up Illinois Developments Plan — and the consensus was that we need to act fast. Looking forward to passing it and getting to work in our neighborhoods.

even under extremely generous assumptions, the “AI is drinking all the water” thing is empirically fake. (infographic from @andymasley.bsky.social )

Can we get a democrat who spouts the benefits of taxation. Imagine a California even more reliant on billionaires. No thank you.

it is my life’s mission to find the guy who’s pitching “no income taxes below [seemingly upper-middle-class threshold]” to big Dems electeds and hit him with a whiffle bat until he stops doing that

This is monstrously fucked up and should be Streisand Effected to the greatest degree possible

We are being led by a man who has the consistency and mental acuity of GPT 3.5

We can’t clean up Washington without restoring integrity to the Supreme Court. That’s why I believe we should expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices. And then, institute term limits. Because an appointment to the Supreme Court shouldn’t mean a lifetime lack of accountability.

So we’re doing assassinations now? This doesn’t seem like good precedent

There’s a lot of uncertainty right now, but I can confidently predict that the FIFA Peace Prize committee will never recover from this.

Pretty impressed with Anthropic today. Less so by their competition.

So I had Claude analyze if there was a statistically significant correlation between the day an app was submitted and review times, and the results are somewhat interesting. Ship on Sunday or Wednesday for the best results.

every tool in my stack that requires manual intervention to paper over an API gap is friction that compounds. make things seamless. I'm increasingly willing to swap out dependencies that don't support agentic workflows in favour ones that do.

We’re back, baby!

The reason no one can explain how this works is because it is pure snake oil.

I’m pretty confident in calling this fake. The user who posted it seems to be part of a substantial network of accounts with similar usernames all posting and commenting on each other’s content. Ironically it’s a great example of an AI agent making stuff up to tell you what you want to hear

As the chief appropriator for Democrats, how will Senator Murray vote for the DHS bill? She touted the new money for body cameras and training last week. DeLauro voted against the bill. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Does anyone else find it completely hypocritical that the US is threatening to “intervene” in Iran if they shoot protesters, while they’re over here SHOOTING PROTESTERS??

great thread full of stuff, i learned lots

Gotta shorten this

Trump and his cronies can try to dress this up, but it is an illegal act of war to replace Maduro and grab Venezuela's oil for his billionaire buddies. Full statement below:

Amid everything with Venezuela & Maduro and the Trump Regime's various justifications for its extrajudicial & anti-constitutional actions, a quick reminder that - just one month ago - Trump PARDONED former Honduras President Juan Orlando Hernández for his... wait for it... cocaine trafficking.
