Enjoying the new M83 album. And was reminded of being 20 years old working at Barnes and Noble and hearing Before the Dawn Heals Us for the first time. It was a revelation. Like stepping out of a cave into a world possibility!

We need to do everything we can to get the Connect Bay Area ballot measure on the November ballot. That’s why I was just out collecting signatures at the Castro station. This important ballot measure will save our buses and train lines from devastating cuts. Public transportation is vital!

Kalshi and Polymarket are 100% doing some FTX type shenanigans, right? Insider trades and leveraging their cash on unfair bets

This is one of the absolute best conversations on AI and software I've heard in a while. (I listen to a lot of stuff about AI.) @howard.fm is an expert & practitioner who cuts through the noise & false dichotomies, to talk about the joys & pitfalls of human machine collab youtu.be/dHBEQ-Ryo24?...

Ugh, these people. Beyond being inhumane, it's grift. They are investors boosting a portfolio of potentially powerful, but yet unproven technologies. They are not neutral observers or experts.

@rollovereasy.org PSA more funding for transit, please! (coming soon to a ballot this Fall). Yes, stop consolidating can help, but doesn't matter if there's no service :)

ICE has no boundaries — today, wearing their masks in Diamond Heights, they grabbed an elderly nanny who’s here legally. A judge has ordered her release. This is why the work we do to ban these masks & authorize people to sue agents who violate their rights is so important.

This was murder. Pretti did not initiate the confrontation. He didn’t strike them. He didn’t brandish his gun. They tackled him, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him.

“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

Wow, what an awesome @rollovereasy.org show with Muni Diaries! Since @sftru.bsky.social came up, I'll mention they are having a big party at the outlook of the Salesforce Transit Center tower on Dec 12. Monday is the last day to get tickets

I tried superhuman email for a couple of months. It was nice, but also rather unintuitive hotkeys and composing experience. The brand/design also have an element of tech hubris that didn't live up to the hype. Suggestions now that they were sold to Grammarly?

Claude Code, Cursor and Copilot are very good at generating code that they're very bad at modifying.
