It's just Chanda... no, really! @chandab.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Now that #Oakland is putting bike lanes around Lake Merritt, can we get a continuous shuttle that picks up and drops off at Lake Merritt #BART? When you eliminate parking you have to create other ways to get to the lake and the shops. Not everyone can bike. 110

It's just Chanda... no, really! @chandab.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Also, the #Emmys need more categories. There should be a horror and a procedural genre. Get rid of gendered categories and just add more genres. Best season long story arc. 010
It's just Chanda... no, really! @chandab.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I'm rewatching #AlienEarth and am really distracted by what terrible scientists these folks are. No masks, hazmat gear. I'm begging scifi writers to create stories where critters circumvent competency. Who brings food into a biolab? Who neglects to secure enclosures? I love this show but come on. 000

It's just Chanda... no, really! @chandab.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Watching some of the coverage of Kong Harald's funeral and my heart goes out to Norway. I was fortunate to attend Universitetet I Oslo's International Summer School and Norway will always have a place in my heart. Oslo was so welcoming and friendly to me as I wandered around w/basic norsk skills. 010

It's just Chanda... no, really! @chandab.bsky.social · 06/09/2026It's time to have public conversations about what the law is/should be for. If it's not, at its heart, about fundamental protections to human life and dignity, what's the point? Time to pick up Foucault's "Truth and Juridical Forms" again, I guess. 000
It's just Chanda... no, really! @chandab.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Tech bros afa arguing with me about the statement Sam Altman made re: ai is going to be smarter than people. I asked what knowledge AI can create that wasn't based on what it got from humans? The # of bros who don't know what knowledge is and want to argue should be embarrassing. 010

It's just Chanda... no, really! @chandab.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Everyone has a hard line when it comes to who they will vote for and one of my biggest deal breakers is transphobia. If you want to hurt trans kids or oppress trans adults, you're not getting my vote. 000

It's just Chanda... no, really! @chandab.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Harald, the king of Norway, isn't doing well. The prognosis is dire. I generally find royalty to be a fascinating curiosity but this speech he made 9 years ago endeared me to him. It's so needed in a world driven more by xenophobia than in any recent decade.

It's just Chanda... no, really! @chandab.bsky.social · 23/08/2026I started rewatching Chernobyl and I felt as if I could be watching our current government. The incompetence, cronyism, selling pleasant lies to the leader, cover ups, tossing citizens into the meat grinder to save face, being more concerned with position and the nation itself. 120

It's just Chanda... no, really! @chandab.bsky.social · 23/08/2026My take is that people absolutely should be fired for being racist. It's not "just an opinion." It's a sign of terrible judgement and disqualifying when doing any work that impacts others. If you're racist, and we found out, you exercised poor judgement. Same for any supremacist belief. 030

It's just Chanda... no, really! @chandab.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Folks need to ask themselves why they so easily believe the worst things they hear about any Black person. It's hard enough to be Black in this industry. Any one of us is one circumstance away from a public hate campaign. 092

Three data centers in Oakland and barely a blip in the media. 152
