There is no "public transit" in capitalism. But replace public transit with anything you want to guarantee inaction. (I say this as a critic of capitalism)

If anyone asks me what animates me as YIMBY, it is to put a check on the outsized power these people have over our lives. Not because I get off on seeing construction. Just to clarify.

Use an algo and walk away. It's disturbing to see the DOGE mentality normalized and even seen as just inevitable in every facet of life. (Gift link) www.vox.com/good-medicin...

AI is already deciding whether or not people receive medical care

Health insurers are deploying AI to deny claims — and putting people’s health at risk.

The reason not to triangulate against trans people isn't that it's bad politics (although I believe it is) or unnecessary (although I believe it is). It's because YOU MUST NOT ABANDON THE VULNERABLE TO DEPRAVED PEOPLE WHO WILL DO THEM HARM. If we will, what's the point of anything else we do?

eliminate EV subsidies, ban cheap overseas EVs, ban EV component import, deport people bringing battery technology to the US, pay billions to kill clean energy projects, end fuel economy standards, and then do THIS is such an elaborate prank on the American people you almost have to respect it

This is great news. I for one support journalism's major shift to covering out-of-context sound bites extracted from hundreds of thousands of hours of jibberish streamed during games of Fortnite. Policy is for losers.

If only the "online left" saw capitalism as a question of attention as much as material production, they would realize that all their favorite people essentially have an industrialist monopoly on the means of attention and would be damned if they ever shared it in any meaningful way.

As I keep saying, professional influencers are petty bourgeois entrepreneurs who make their money by harvesting attention, and that position in the capitalist economy tends to lend itself to a certain kind of politics.

To my fellow San Franciscan urbanists: if you are feeling jaded at the level of political intransigence of the West Side, please know that even the most car-pilled of people can be won over by good urbanism.

"I wanted to hate the closure. I drive for work and have to go from western Addition to Pacifica area multiple times a week. I always enjoyed taking Skyline and UGH to get home and was so annoyed when it closed. I decided to throw myself into it and start taking my dog with me for adventures at OB. I am so conflicted now because- it’s wonderful. I love it. I don’t mind the commute. I want to hate the closure but…..I just don’t anymore. If there was a way to open both directions from Sloat to Skyline that would be huge. As of right now the Northbound lane from Skylone is open but not Sourhbound. That is weird and not at all useful."

Potential cuts to San Francisco’s public transit system would be significantly worse for the city’s economy than the effects of a proposed parcel tax to fund it, according to a new analysis from the controller's office. via @kellywaldron.bsky.social missionlocal.org/2026/09/san-...

S.F. economy will take a hit if Muni measure fails, controller warns

A report from the controller's office San Francisco’s GDP would grow $310 to $400 million over 15 years by passing the parcel tax measure.

Hello San Francisco. I'm attending a virtual meeting about Supervisor Mandelman's proposal for a historic landmark district around the Castro commerical corridor. I just listened to the Planning Department's presentation from yesterday. Stephen Torres from the Castro LGBTQ cultural district is here.

Your daily reminder that the fact that AGI is not a thing does *not* mean that GenAI is safe or benign. The people panicking and sounding alarm bells have one thing right: we are not prepared for every dingus with a computer and a God-complex to be able to cause untold damage in a thousand ways
