If I had a dollar for every person I know that makes just enough to survive in SF but gets hit with a high federal tax bill I could buy a cup of coffee in SF. There needs to be a middle class tax deduction for people in costly metro areas. We're sick of subsidizing red states.

SF and Oakland are sharing automatic license plate reader data with ICE. This is the infrastructure of state repression, not a tool for public safety. If you think automated license plate readers and city sponsored CCTV cameras make us safer you are either a fascist or a fool.

I had the joy of working with Squarespace today. Apparently you can have AI write your post for you but you still can't include a small inset photo. This perfectly encapsulates AI enshittification.

Oh man, just got my bimonthly San Francisco political phone survey and now they're asking if I have a positive or negative opinion of Garry Tan

Garry Tan and his guys are now running push polls for a new digital services branch of SF city government. Ordinarily this might be a good thing, but it is also worth noting that this was tried at the federal level as 18F, which eventually became Elon's DOGE.

Imagine if this happened under Chesa Boudin and not our current DA Brooke Jenkins 謝安宜? The right wingers, I mean "moderates," would have lost their minds! Anyway, it is shampoo. We don't kill or maim each other over shampoo. It doesn't matter if it is stolen.

I haven't touched a non-linux laptop in close to a decade. I have decades old laptops that still run fine with the exception of battery issues. I think the real path forward is education. Give every kid a $150 laptop that's just an RPi in a case.

took me my entire 20s to realize i had no reason to feel that much imposter syndrome when so many people in leadership are straight up dumb

You can just drop a damp microfiber cloth on this bad boy and then spray a vinegar / dish soap mixture on the floor. Costs less and is generally better for the environment. No Swiffer buildup.
