Whelp Chekov's table saw finally struck. Wasn't a finger activation. I was making a high angle miter cut (78 degrees) and I knew I needed to stop the cut before the blade contacted the back of the miter gauge... But alas. The miter gauge is barely scratched. #woodworking @sawstop.bsky.social

Move over zucchini lady, this guy calling 'bike lanes white lanes' and calling the Terner Center the 'Gentrification Center' is my new favorite Berkeley Council moment. #berkmtg

I was a yes, yes, no on this. But luckily @alanakinrich.medsky.social was a no, no, yes. We have such a complementary (and gendered) relationship 💜

Legolas and Gimli meme. The captions on the three panels read:
Gimli: "Never thought I'd did fighting side by side with the French."
Legolas: "Qu’en est-il côte à côte avec un ami?"
Gimli: "What?"

It's fun when your beach reading book and your holiday location line up so well.

At a meeting about whether we're going to build housing for young families like us. An elderly NIMBY got mad at @alanakinrich.medsky.social for 'being distracting' by breastfeeding our baby in the reserved seats in the front. In case you're wondering who they think should be part of this process.

Remember, Zohran's primary win doesn't count because RCV isn't democratic. Also his general win doesn't count because if you took all of Silwa's votes and reallocate 100% to their presumed second choice and also somehow come up with another 2%....

Whelp the closer we get to Berkeley city council's first meeting on commercial corridor upzoning, the more upset the local NIMBYs are getting. First sign this letter: actionnetwork.org/letters/elmw...
Email screenshot that reads:

“Save Berkeley Shops” questions the impact on local merchants and small businesses. We urge the Council to slow the process and seek meaningful community feedback before any decisions.

Attend in person or join via Zoom: https://cityofberkeley-info.zoomgov.com/j/1605237524

To comment:

• Speak for one minute (or combine with two others for four minutes each).

• Email your thoughts to council@berkeleyca.gov, which goes to the Mayor, Council, and City Clerk for the record.

Help us shape the future of our neighborhoods!

It's crazy that we have this incredible concert venue in the midst of Berkeley but we severely limit the number of shows to appease a handful of NIMBYs who apparently weren't aware that there was a university here when they bought their homes. Thousands of people vs dozens.

This is a clear sign that Democrats are being too harsh on Republicans. Voters want a positive message and bipartisanship. That's why it's important that Democrats take the blame on themselves to appeal to middle class moderate voters Where do I go to collect my party strategist paycheck?

Can’t really articulate how furious it makes me to see gentile politicians wield fake charges of antisemitism against Mamdani. It’s not just the plain Islamophobia, it’s the fact that they’re needlessly stoking tensions in a way that puts Jewish New Yorkers at GREATER risk.

Do you think, I have not just cause to weep, when I consider that Zohran at my age had conquered so many shitty centrist Dems, and I have all this time done nothing that is memorable?
