If we want a better downtown, it starts with putting in a Supervisor that's working on solutions at the ground level, not up in the luxury towers and corporate HQs .

But although D6 is stuffed with unaffordable condos, it also represents some of the most underserved, impoverished residents in the city. Getting an activist into office instead of the "tough on crime" Dorsey, who's let the place fester, would be a game-changer for San Francisco

It's rare to have only two candidates up for a Supervisor seat here in SF One of them is Jack Dorsey 👎 and this guy has the best chance possible to break up the conservative coalition that's been corroding SF government since Lurie took over ...Best chance in a tough district.

Physicists identify 'octupolar' magnetism, with implications for quantum technologies
Most magnets have two poles: north and south, or positive and negative, in a familiar arrangement called a "dipole." But researchers are increasingly uncovering more complex forms of magnetism.

For reference, since Elon Musk took my BlueCheck and deliberately silenced me and a bunch of other local progressives, I tend to get a few dozen views total. Maybe a 'like' if it's a banger. Make no mistake: this is what Elon Musk is doing to America (and the rest of the world)

And there's actually a really simple solution to this collective action problem... Mamdani's one-two approach freezing rents and explanding public housing to add competition to the market at LOWER prices (instead of spiraling luxury builds) should bear fruit soon. 'Urbanists' will be freaking out

I like how Google's unavoidable AI pop-up is linking to sources now. Yes, it helps to know that you scraped this from some guy's YouTube video, and that from Wikipedia, and I can look at them myself. That's how it should be OpenAI can't do that because it's stolen, Anthropic because they ate them!

🚨Meta got $3.9 BILLION in federal tax breaks last year to build AI data centers. Scott Wiener opposes a national moratorium on data centers and California’s billionaire tax. I support both because working families can’t afford to keep subsidizing billionaires and corporations.

And ancient sources frequently talk about cultures being richer than one another, but rarely do I see that expressed in concrete material terms. How much gold? How far did it travel? How'd spending power, standards of living change? Big deal at the time. Babylon was essentially where wealth began.

If I was an economic historian, I'd love to do a study on the gold/money flow out of Persia during Alexander's conquest. At that point the Middle East had been conquering and reconquering itself for 5000 years, recently took Egypt, Ionia, constantly harrowing western Greece... The East had the loot
