Kurt Nelson @kurt.nelson.fun · 15hWe have hit the stage where a man is wearing a hoodie in the Mission with the slogan on the back: "First level support is dead. We killed it." Plus a QR code. 000
Kurt Nelson @kurt.nelson.fun · 06/10/2026Has anyone setup an eInk MUNI next bus screen at home? I have the hardware and am trying to figure out the best approach from a ton of different architectures. 000
Kurt Nelson @kurt.nelson.fun · 02/10/2026Bunch of undercover SFPD just swarmed these two guys who were clearly tourists in a rental BMW. They walked away with their belongings while SFPD took their car. 000
Kurt Nelson @kurt.nelson.fun · 30/09/2026Just got my double arms pokes for the season, and it's already achy two hours later. Check in with me tomorrow... 010
Kurt Nelson @kurt.nelson.fun · 29/09/2026Seems they still have non-service animals running around a cafe. Would be a shame if DPH found out...again. www.sfchronicle.com/food/restaurant… 001
Kurt Nelson @kurt.nelson.fun · 28/09/2026Back on the full remote work train as of today! Guess I need to get my kitchen stocked back up. 000
Kurt Nelson @kurt.nelson.fun · 23/09/2026Do I want to know why there are multiple big long haired white men with thin blue line shirts on this flight in first class with me? 000
Kurt Nelson @kurt.nelson.fun · 22/09/2026I had to keep from laughing out loud in the Vegas Loop especially because they still have human drivers. The road is bumpy in the tunnel! 000
Kurt Nelson @kurt.nelson.fun · 22/09/2026Surprising nobody, the bus is Vegas is faster than the monorail. But it costs the same price? 010
Kurt Nelson @kurt.nelson.fun · 21/09/2026It's such an American thing to after breaking some minor law involving panhandling, double parking, or general antisocial behavior to end your statement with "God bless you." No thank you, I don't want anything to do with your god. 000
Kurt Nelson @kurt.nelson.fun · 21/09/2026The EV charging market is so fragmented. First you have to find a station with the right plug. Then you have to make sure it is available and not broken. Then half the time it requires some janky proprietary app with a sign up flow and manual card entry. 100
Kurt Nelson @kurt.nelson.fun · 20/09/2026We live in a time where I can ask the robots to correlate my McDonald's orders with my Spotify listening and ask it to make a "tweetable info graphic". 100
Kurt Nelson @kurt.nelson.fun · 15/09/2026Our Tiktok mayor is one post away from doing a "one day kitchen and bath remodel!" ad for at-risk seniors. 000
Kurt Nelson @kurt.nelson.fun · 15/09/2026While us engineers are currently busy token maxxing, 100 years ago humans put a lighthouse at the bottom of this. 000
Kurt Nelson @kurt.nelson.fun · 15/09/2026Just what I want to see pop-up on Docusign while confirming a job offer. 010
Kurt Nelson @kurt.nelson.fun · 07/09/2026Even with a referral, as a former Googler, I failed the "Google Hiring Assessment" before even a human went in the loop. I guess I don't have "work-style skills which have been determined to be essential" 100
Kurt Nelson @kurt.nelson.fun · 03/09/2026The Clipper Customer service post-call survey asks you to rate things 1 to 10, with press 10 for satisfied. 010
Kurt Nelson @kurt.nelson.fun · 02/09/2026Doing an iron circle of the Bay today. Right now on VTA Rail for the first time ever, there are sooo many empty parking lots. 100
Kurt Nelson @kurt.nelson.fun · 02/09/2026CAPTCHAs are getting really difficult. If I already have an account on your service and I am using a Passkey, just let me in! 010
Kurt Nelson @kurt.nelson.fun · 31/08/2026Found out that a wine bar (Passages) is what is going into the old Two Jack's Nic's Place. As the first legacy business in SF, I was hoping something cool would replace it. 000
Kurt Nelson @kurt.nelson.fun · 28/08/2026TIL: The BART expo fare now has a grace period of 30 minutes before it applies IF you are using open-loop or the newer physical media. If you're still on old media because that's the only thing that works on the Bike Share docks, you are SOL and have to call Clipper for the refund. 000
Kurt Nelson @kurt.nelson.fun · 22/08/2026Scooters and e-motorcycles really take the fun out of even the almost-done Folsom St cycle track. We have got to hold Doordash and UberEats to the law. 000
Kurt Nelson @kurt.nelson.fun · 21/08/2026BART is totally out at the airport due to a power outage and they are handling is terribly. At least I know I need the 292, but no signage. 100
Kurt Nelson @kurt.nelson.fun · 18/08/2026Just witnessed a full on fight on the Chicago L. Get off early, let the cops by the fare gate know: "not my job" 000
Kurt Nelson @kurt.nelson.fun · 17/08/2026I very much disagree with the author of this piece- a big part of the dislike of chains in SF is their tendency to be only about profit and no longer about the art of the food. It is also telling that her ex-husband (disclosed in article) is the Tacolicious guy. 100
Reposted by Kurt NelsonAdam Bonica @adambonica.bsky.social · 16/08/2026The fundraising texts you delete are working on someone. It’s infuriating and heartbreaking. An 85yo in Ohio gave more than double the value of his home. A 91yo in an Indianapolis senior facility gave 25K times. The DCCC/DSCC don’t just tolerate the spammers who exploit seniors. They take part.data4democracy.substack.comHook and SqueezeHow Democratic consultants, committees, and party leaders built a fundraising spam pipeline that funnels money from a captive pool of elderly donors into their own operations. 17845351588
Kurt Nelson @kurt.nelson.fun · 13/08/2026Yet we are hiring fare inspectors while on an operator hiring freeze. 000
Kurt Nelson @kurt.nelson.fun · 12/08/2026RIP Muni Headlands Express. We really need to bring it back in some form. 000
Kurt Nelson @kurt.nelson.fun · 12/08/2026How can we get the mayor's office to post transcripts of his Instagram shenanigans on an official channel? 010
Kurt Nelson @kurt.nelson.fun · 06/08/2026Contrary to whatever Daniel Laurie says, San Francisco is full again! You missed the window between 2019 and 2023, I promise there will be another one in just a little bit! (As I sit in a parklet reading the new book "City on the Edge") 000
Kurt Nelson @kurt.nelson.fun · 03/08/2026I have a political goal for SF this fall: no Fleet Week. 000
Kurt Nelson @kurt.nelson.fun · 30/07/2026Remember when people took their backpacks off on rush hour transit? New York remembers when. 000
Kurt Nelson @kurt.nelson.fun · 29/07/2026With the mayor and now supervisors doing press-release-by-instagram, we really need a non-Meta, non-corporate information stream to consume. Why hasn't an @sfgov server been stood up here? It makes consumption by RSS easy too. 000

Kurt Nelson @kurt.nelson.fun · 28/07/2026I don't think San Francisco wants A.Vs on our streets Laurie. Maybe we should do a ballot prop..oh wait he wants to make that way harder. 000
Kurt Nelson @kurt.nelson.fun · 27/07/2026This is why Six Flags got stuck with DC Comics, and the big boys had to fight over Marvel park rights. (Before Disney just bought them entirely) 000
Kurt Nelson @kurt.nelson.fun · 27/07/2026I've been getting emails like this about once a month with someone wanting me to commit employment fraud with them. Do these actually work & last more than a week? thisisnotajoke.com/engineering-coll… 000
Kurt Nelson @kurt.nelson.fun · 26/07/2026Apparently pre-gaming Dore Alley at the Costco food court is a thing. 000
Kurt Nelson @kurt.nelson.fun · 26/07/2026Does the downtown VC AI company "Corgi Cafe" actually allow dogs in? If so I think this is one of the few times we should get the Department of Health to visit. 000
Kurt Nelson @kurt.nelson.fun · 25/07/2026CW: SF police violence SFPD started punching the guy while he was already down. 041
Kurt Nelson @kurt.nelson.fun · 20/07/2026Based on my honeypot emails, someone is doing a Kaiser phishing attack. 000
Kurt Nelson @kurt.nelson.fun · 19/07/2026Downloaded my entire Spotify history and used Gemini to whip up a probably mostly correct infographic and it's sad. 200
