I suggested that wide Sunset streets should get 90° parking which would have the virtue of creating more parking, allowing more daylighting without losing parking, and giving much of the district a road diet. And somehow MTA is actually going to to trial this! (Prolly not because of me…)

Wow!

May Chuck Schumer suffer the most painful bladder infection, a nonstop migraine, and too-tight shoes. What a disgrace to his constituents, his party, and his country.

“Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory”

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

S.F. sees record drop in pedestrian fatalities, bucking statewide trends San Francisco has seen the steepest year-over-year decline of pedestrian deaths on record, falling well below the city average of 30 deaths per year.

While we're cautiously optimistic that fatalities are trending lower than 2024, which was the deadliest year since the start of VZ, there is more work to do to make our roads safer and modeshift away from car dependency, which we must do for our climate goals. www.sfchronicle.com/projects/202...

I love that they have mandated that I use my phone for 2FA when logging in on my computer. Some of use don’t yet have that device surgically implanted…

The energy we need in 2026

I am too close to XTC to make claims about them. I did consider including that album, but I wasn’t sure about my credibility. 😁

Wonderful album. OK Computer and The Bends are also strong contenders.

I should clarify that I was watching it on YouTube. 😁

Spending my Christmas evening watching a performance of Mozart’s Requiem in La Sagrada Família.

They’re a band-aid. No one would choose these places over proper apartments and flats if they had the options available in a functioning housing market.

It falls into the realm of traffic enforcement, so…nah.

Reagan was the front man for racism, homophobia, dismantling of the social contract, and is pretty much the root of every real problem this country now faces. He may may have talked about common humanity, but his legacy is the devaluation of humanity.

It is an affront to our dignity that we must even entertain these chuckleheads in the public sphere.

Making people kiss the ring is not a strong indicator of progressive values. Neighborhood bullies suck, regardless of their politics

Ever ready to provide fresh proof of how dumb and full of shit he is.

Go, Bilal!

The grifters must grift

Great short video by TransLink explaining “the empty bus lane myth”

They prefer that others prefer them, and they are willing to stack the deck in favor of that preference.

Unlike SFPD which doesn’t prioritize traffic enforcement, speed cameras are on the job 24/7. With appropriate privacy safeguards, these cameras can be an effective approach to making SF streets safer

NIMBYs were wrong to try to kill a 100% affordable housing site — but they’re right about one thing OPINION: Opponents of La Maravilla, the proposed affordable housing development at 16th and Mission, note that other neighborhoods aren’t doing their part to build homes, Ruth Ferguson writes.

Our own Ruth Ferguson is in the @sfchronicle.com today with a powerful piece on why we need to rezone Bernal Heights! Read it and share it: www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open...

And people wonder why California is losing representation in Congress. This is appalling.

Well, this seems bad.

“Defend the District” protest and Go-Go concert against Trump’s takeover at 14th and U St:

I was told there would be winning. And lower prices. And more winning.

Their insistence on the article is a profound expression of self-doubt
