It's not just the Central Subway: Everything SF builds is late/over-budget/a huge mess.
And yet, some of the biggest disasters turn into our (read: my) favorite things in the city.

Another good day to remember that there's probably not a lot of common ground to be had with people whose response to a global health crisis was to drink their own pee.

New : Everything is riding on SF's new 80,000-plus unit housing plan. But after thousands of pages of docs, hundreds of hours of debate, and rivers of sweat and tears spilled, what does this new plan actually do?

When Silicon Valley promises something, divide your expectations by four and add 20 years onto whatever timeline they quoted.
This will still be wrong, but you'll be disappointed over a much longer span, so you won't notice as much.

Liberals don't often grapple with free speech because our beliefs have merit beyond "you technically can't arrest me for saying this."

"Last month you said it was fine to break up with someone for domestic abuse but this month you say it's wrong to break up with someone for jaywalking."
Like, yes. Everyone's opinion on consequences is that they are sometimes justified and sometimes not.

Americans seem to have the craziest ratio of lightest COVID lockdowns to being the most mad about them long after they’re over.
It was an emergency so you had to stay at home more than usual and wear a mask. It’s over for quite a while now, get a hobby pls.

For those keeping score, Warnock had to win this seat four times in two years, because the system just makes so much goddamn sense.

I've seen enough: Sen. Raphael Warnock (D) defeats Herschel Walker (R) in the #GASEN runoff, giving Democrats a 51-49 majority in the Senate.

The thing about the right-wing news ecosystem is that you don't have to do any reporting, reveal any facts or even have a plausible story. You just have to make it *look* like a bombshell.

New : Santa Monica experienced about ten years' worth of development in just over two weeks. Could it happen to SF?
Well, maybe, especially the way things are going--but we could actually be in for bigger changes if it doesn't.

So if a bakery refuses to do business with a gay couple, that’s free speech, but if a large consumer brand refuses to do business with a social media platform, that’s censorship? Got it.

I sometimes try to imagine the alternate dimension where Republicans treated COVID as the greatest American crisis in a generation because they wanted to use it to torpedo Hillary Clinton's reelection.

Newly surfaced video of Matt Walsh has him giving extremely horrifying views on consent, rape, the age of consent and has him defending multiple pedophiles including Cardinal McCarrick (stating the victims should have been able to defend themselves)

I like when conservatives describe their own ideology as "mental illness" when a mass shooter thinks it.

Part of the reason Republicans keep blowing election after election is that they are simply insane and the American public increasingly thinks it too.

Oh, a third party, great idea, I can't wait for a president who only got 33.4 percent of the vote, that's definitely what's wrong with the system.

New : SF is not just now, at this late date, realizing that it has a housing crisis and a huge housing allocation to plan for?
To watch yesterday's big hearing, you might wonder where our civic leaders have been the past decade?

Seems like maybe telling your followers that the election is rigged against them isn't a formula for getting out the vote.
Quote Tweet
The AP has also called #NVSoS for Francisco Aguilar (D), defeating Jim Marchant (R), who falsely claimed elections have been rigged for decades. It's now official that no election denier will administer the 2024 election in any swing state.

Lots of people saying ignorant things about sex workers in RE: to garbage sausage Lauren Boebert's bad election night, but the truth is if Boebert was ever a sex worker it would be the only honest job she's ever done in her life.

Based on their election messaging, I've determined that Republican operatives base almost all of their opinions about New York City on the 1989 movie "Jason Takes Manhattan," which unlike New York City itself, a few of them may have seen once.
