    The mayor of San Fransisco at a jazz club last Thursday. The maskless partying became news because a reporter was there. Yes there is a mask mandate in SF. The issue isn’t what I think is fine. It’s that rules work if they’re workable and seen as fair.pic.twitter.com/keFyl2YbKN

        zeynep tufekci Retweeted Feynman

        Core issue isn't whether she or anyone else there was technically violating the mandate or not. (Though we do have eyes). Rules have to make sense, be seen as fair and be workable. No masks if you hold a drink in your hand for three hours isn't that.https://twitter.com/Feynman_19/status/1439979058096451585 …

        She defended this by essentially claiming she was between bites of food/sips of her drink, even though she is not once seen sipping in this minute-long clip. As a person who makes a concerted effort to be sufficiently hydrated, I’m perpetually “between sips” by her standard.

        I've seen many examples globally, but it would be an interesting case study to compare and contrast rules and countries, and politicians caught breaking and flaunting them.https://twitter.com/MaxAllstadt/status/1439979713250856960 …

        I know some British leaders have also been caught totally failing to lead by example on pandemic safety. Is this a problem all over the world or is it just an Anglosphere thing?

        Also, this has been going crazy viral for days now, especially among people/groups opposed to masking and/or mandates. If today is the first you've seen it, think about this moment again when you wonder why things are difficult.

        *"San Francisco" — for some reason I can RT videos only from the phone and my typo defenses are even weaker on the phone. 😁

        Issue isn't so much about what's "fair" as the fact that people will see this and think it's not actually that big of a deal and they don't really need to wear masks - which is true-ish if you're vaccinated and don't care about spreading the virus.

        She learned from her mentor, Gavin Newsome. Ignore the homeless, disappear the tax windfalls, sell out to big business, rules are for the plebiscite. She’s half way to the governor’s mansion.
