@sam my reply wasn't meant as playing along with your joke but rather a gentle nudge to reconsider joking in this way during an active genocide

@sam those things aren't really on the same level

"The entire Palestinian population in North Gaza is at imminent risk of dying from disease, famine and violence," says a statement from the acting U.N. aid chief Joyce Msuya, along with heads of UNICEF and the World Food Programme. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/north-gaza-apocalyptic-everyone-imminent-risk-death-warns-un-2024-11-01/

this Voice of SF place also has an article about the Panhandle DMV adding housing that completely omits any mention that it was Dean Preston who pushed for that for literally years

the billionaire funded, right-wing, parallel SF media network grows. they have the Standard (least blatant of the three), Thiel’s Pirate Wires & now this

Ritual’s Valencia parklet is one of my favorites. The tables are permanently fixed to the base so they stay even when the café is closed. True to the original bargain of parklets as public space for all. #goodParklet

this dystopic scene of identical robocars clogging an entire block to carry maaaybe 1/4 of a busload of people, was posted by a waymo employee who thought it made his company look good.

@dcjohnson Also not sentient entities: countries. "France wants this," "Germany wants that," "the United States said..." No they didn't. There are plenty of people in those places who aren't on board with whatever is being discussed.

what a brave new world we live in where Waymo is praised for blowing red lights because the person in the car "liked it" and "felt safe"

every time I bike to Duboce Triangle, Lower Haight, or anywhere west of there (Haight, GGP, Richmond, Sunset) my anxiety goes up thinking about coming back to the Mission because there is no safe route whatsoever

14th St has a dangerous substandard bike lane entirely in the door zone. 17th St has a door zone lane. I actually tend to feel safest taking the lane downhill on 16th St, but it's a roll of the dice on an aggro motorist passing me, or a left hook at Guerrero

@skinnylatte it seems to still work except that some elements have internal names instead of the labels they're supposed to have. anyway, it's ridiculous. if it gets to where i can't download and pay my bill i'm going to go back to paper billing. they cut off browsers used by less than 5% of their customers, a pretty high bar for a regulated monopoly

@seachanger have you read the Pulitzer-winning mastodon novel?

@peterbutler @skinnylatte @ukuku wait, what's this about a Supreme Leader? Is Golden Era connected with some cult or something? I thought that was just Loving Hut.
