I love when a key figure for my sports team consistently has good opinions regardless of what would be safe for them to say! So cool that Wemby has picked up the mantle from Pop here

One of the least fun things in sports is when the whole timeline comes together to celebrate a generational performance against your team

The idea that you need an LLM to be able to make a website that shows you pharmacists who take your insurance is laughably absurd. All of these things are extremely straightforward to design, but building them in a reasonable way doesn't let you scam people or sell a SaaS so it doesn't get built.

San Francisco's richest have never been richer, more brazen or faced weaker political opposition — going back to the Gold Rush. Latest column from @esksf.bsky.social missionlocal.org/2026/09/san-...

San Francisco's wealthiest have unprecedented control of city politics
Our city fathers (if you like them) or oligarchs (if you don’t) have never been richer, more brazen or faced weaker opposition

It should be one of our 2 losses in 2012, but I can't help but be curious if our defense and receiver talent would've taken us on a run if we beat Miami last year, and as a child life would've been better if we didn't lose 77-0 to OU while I lived in Oklahoma

I am going crazy we will never get a consistent answer for what happened to the alcatraz coyote www.sfgate.com/local/articl...
At the time, National Park Service officials were concerned about how the coyote that wound up on Alcatraz could affect its local biodiversity; the Rock hosts some of the largest nesting populations of Brandt’s cormorants and western gulls in the Bay Area. Before they could follow through on plans to remove the animal, however, he was either swept away or left of his own accord.

It's really cool that "true believer" Steve jobs wanted attention and had a downside of not believing in medicine, but kept it private so it only hurt him. Now our true believer entrepreneurs are all eugenicists who want to find a way to enslave the human race and publicly don't believe in medicine

A friend of mine works in AI and thinks bad things are about to happen. He sold his home and moved his family out the country. He said that if you own a home in a walkable San Francisco neighborhood near a taqueria with good veggie options, you should sell your home for super cheap right now.

Do you ever think about how San Francisco basically went through an economic miracle, with multiple years of double-digit growth, and about the only thing they have to show for it is a world-famous housing crisis? Data from fred.stlouisfed.org/series/GDPAL...
Chart labeled Economy of San Francisco, showing rapid growth from 2011 to 2024. On the right is a chart showing the GDP per year in billions, and percentage change.

If you're willing to throw out some people's rights and basic dignity out the window in order to win an election, who else's rights and basic dignity are you willing to throw out? Another minority group? What about yours?

Depending on the context, standing firm on human rights might lose you an election. You should still do it IMO.

Big shout out to Dean for being normal and aligning with the overall progressive, regardless of housing politics, then looking to find common ground on housing. A San Francisco where progressives define themselves based on non-housing values and look to work together from there is a better place

I think it's likely that mode shift will improve overall emissions more than switching buses to battery electric. So use this 💰 for service changes that bring in riders.

Important to note that in San Francisco, Uber spends meaningful amounts of money fighting against public transit funding and priority and has also fought against bike friendly policies. By reducing the quality of public transit and safety for people on bikes/scooters, he's just pushing one of these

EXCLUSIVE: Gazetteer has uncovered that Waymo vehicles got more than 8,300 parking tickets in San Francisco between January 2025 and July 19 of this year. We dug into the most common infractions and ticket locations in the city (cough, Fisherman's Wharf). Plus, thoughts from an AV expert:

Waymo has been slapped with more than 8,300 parking tickets since January 2025
With fines of nearly $1 million for various violations, the robotaxi company says it’s cooperating with the city and learning from its cars’ mistakes

a lot of leftish people sort of cast a jaundiced eye on sports, but, like, if you want an army of people who are ready to throw down in solidarity for their crew en masse, go watch a sports game, timbers army here would steamroll a charlie kirk memorial rally and the ultras would make a second pass
