Hyperlexic @hyperlexic.bsky.social · 13hwhat a splendid idea (Hegseth adding AI to polygraphs in his leak hunt) rokosbas.beehiiv.com/p/october-06... 010
Hyperlexic @hyperlexic.bsky.social · 06/10/2026the AI boom has hit Berkeley in single family home sales… 1213
Hyperlexic @hyperlexic.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Denver: rents down 7.6% to $1,570 for a 1br. SF: rents up 25.4% to $4,400 for a 1br. Seriously wild. 1354
Hyperlexic @hyperlexic.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I’ve spent 15 years arguing that more home building means landlords actually have to compete for tenants and they just… mailed it out. www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco... 316821
Hyperlexic @hyperlexic.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Ok, people, surely you want to give money to a cat shelter in Kaua'i damaged by the hurricane. berkeleyhumane.org/donate/?form... 1104
Hyperlexic @hyperlexic.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Ok glad that this article clarifies (I think) whether Vanderbilt owns the original Oakland campus of CCA (always CCAC to me). www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco... 000
Hyperlexic @hyperlexic.bsky.social · 02/10/2026coda: as I said “policing was not the sole or maybe even primary cause” of the major drop in large city homicide shown below BUT on many levels I would love to have an explanation for NYC’s earlier drop than “Giuliani” 001
Hyperlexic @hyperlexic.bsky.social · 02/10/2026One of my biggest concerns with hardline anticarceralism / ACAB is that, fundamentally, crime mostly hurts poor people. This reporting from @berkeleyscanner.com is an example - two working class kids killed in crossfire. I’m sure your cities have similar stories. 2132
Hyperlexic @hyperlexic.bsky.social · 02/10/2026whole new level of annoyance to deal with - somehow getting autosubscribed to Substacks. 010
Hyperlexic @hyperlexic.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Do I have any interest in the Bee Gee’s? No. But I still was very happy to listen to this, credit to Andrew Hickey. 060
Hyperlexic @hyperlexic.bsky.social · 30/09/2026@goingmedieval.bsky.social I really enjoyed this episode - great to hear the joy and pride of the weavers. best version of “dancing about architecture” (podcasting about a visual / tactile art). 273
Hyperlexic @hyperlexic.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I read his wikipedia entry for the first time, and, uh… this stood out. 1183
Hyperlexic @hyperlexic.bsky.social · 29/09/2026You all are seriously missing something by not seeing @jwbee.bsky.social drop bombs on Berkeley Nextdoor. 0201
Hyperlexic @hyperlexic.bsky.social · 29/09/2026hmm there’s trees in front - it didn’t feel totally On Stage - but I didn’t look at that aspect carefully. But maybe would have been a good place for Naked Guy 120
Hyperlexic @hyperlexic.bsky.social · 29/09/2026she wasn’t sterilized, but “lobotomized because you run away from convent school” is probably worst - the case of Rose Kennedy (sister of JFK, RFK Sr, and Ted) 130
Hyperlexic @hyperlexic.bsky.social · 28/09/2026just tuning in to Scottsdale here and, on brand, it’s very corporation driven. 030
Hyperlexic @hyperlexic.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Brilliant suggestion, how do you suggest doing so? 120
Hyperlexic @hyperlexic.bsky.social · 27/09/2026put differently but for the grace of god (the god being solar) go we we could be like South Carolina ratepayers who are paying $9 billion for an abandoned nuclear plant project 110
Hyperlexic @hyperlexic.bsky.social · 27/09/2026well, basically “fairness”. I think the summary below is accurate - 80% of power costs are actually grid costs. and a lot of that is the need to simply keep the grid connected - it doesn’t vary much by consumption (at least residential levels, multi-MW DCs are another thing) … 240
Hyperlexic @hyperlexic.bsky.social · 27/09/2026actually the Gemini example is one of the clearest things I’ve ever seen on this 010
Hyperlexic @hyperlexic.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Personally I think this has a much larger impact on many more people’s quality of life than anything the construction might produce. Median home sale price is ~$1.7m in the area, rent seems to be about $4500 and above for ~anything~ (except for a 250 sf studio). 020
Hyperlexic @hyperlexic.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I have serious questions about whether your friend Jennifer counts as “swing” 010
Hyperlexic @hyperlexic.bsky.social · 25/09/2026probably the former. I can see other posts but not that one. (and the first post I can see is utterly unsurprising) 110
Hyperlexic @hyperlexic.bsky.social · 23/09/2026This is one of the weirder statements to me. Almost every Black american in a non-Southern city is by definition a transplant or a descendant of one. We absolutely need to have policies that minimize displacement of current inhabitants - but trying to block new people isn’t it (and doesn’t work). 3180
Hyperlexic @hyperlexic.bsky.social · 23/09/2026if the president campaigns more it will have a major impact on the midterms 141
Hyperlexic @hyperlexic.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I too urge the GOP to get Trump out there more to explain the logic of the Iran war, I’m sure that will be very impactful 2131
Hyperlexic @hyperlexic.bsky.social · 23/09/2026i needed this to get through and there’s a lot of new words in it… 191
Hyperlexic @hyperlexic.bsky.social · 23/09/2026yeah I just unfollowed. the trend is clear, details don’t matter. did follow this instead. 010
Hyperlexic @hyperlexic.bsky.social · 23/09/2026like… you’ve been here almost 2 years, you’re following 49 people and blocking 9000? 130
Hyperlexic @hyperlexic.bsky.social · 23/09/2026It really says something for the culture of this site that every day 1-2 people block me, none of whom I’ve had any interaction with. I don’t even particularly enjoy arguing with people - I assume these people are just blocking people with opinions they don’t like. 5120
