Arguing since birth. Urban planning, politics, weather, Drag Race, and photography are all fair game. Opinions are strictly my own—unless others agree. I assume that strings of emojis in people's bios are their washing instructions

PS say "sugical" out loud and you'll know why I decided I wanted to keep this typo

Isn't it entirely possible he kicked off the decal?

Stop this. It doesn't help. The whole point is that it shouldn't matter if he did this because it shouldn't carry a death sentence, period.

Yes. This is an important caveat. I think we should adopt the common practice in East Asia of wearing a mask if you are feeling sick. (And better yet, stay home)

What I'm talking about is the suggestion that everyone should be masked in public places because of COVID

Also, yelling COVID COVID COVID at normies who are long back to going to bars, parties, movies, concerts etc without a mask makes you seem like a crazy person

I'm not going to fault anyone for wearing a mask for personal reasons, but the time of admonishing other people to do so b/c COVID is over

These people are insufferable and their position is incoherent for any number of reasons

Standing up demands risk

We are only going to beat the fascists with large numbers of people openly opposing them

If they can round up everyone who protests, we are already lost, but we are not there yet

Much of what goes on among the extremely online left is a sort of bimbo Bolshevism that is all about appearances, but lacks any sort of depth or willingness to meaningfully act/engage

It's like people who publicly post with replies on and then get mad that strangers might reply and disagree

I mean, in the right financial situation, they are all good projects. We should have BART to SJ in an ideal world!

But glad we agree we need to save the system first. An infill station ain't worth as true TOD if BART no longer has night and weekend service.

See, I can tell this is a scheduled post because Trump just arrested a bunch of Black journalists and instead you're stuck on the pre-approved affordability shtick

Who do y'all think you're reaching by posting this on BlueSky? At best, canned milquetoast stuff like this belongs on FB with normies

Elected officials stop pushing for expensive, insufficiently-funded capital projects that harm core service and long-term fiscal health challenge level impossible

Seriously, BART is in dire straits in part because people are addicted to extensions/expansions without commensurate land use changes

ICE Begins Buying ‘Mega’ Warehouse Detention Centers Across US Plans for such centers and jails in nearly two dozen communities have sparked protests over suitability, proximity to homes and schools.

I am willing to bet that none of these proposed new concentration camps are in California or other West Coast states in part because they know we should shut that shit down like *snap* that

Gold may not produce anything, but at least it's a physical good with aesthetic and industrial uses, rather than a mathematical fiction with no economy, army, natural sources, or populace to back up its value

I sure hope people are gearing up to do a combination of hidden annex / Danish evacuation, among all the other things.

I firmly believe that AI can be part of creativity, but this just looks insufferable; downsides of AI are definitely lack of craft/message

AI or not, I find over-dramatized historic stuff like this to be like rock candy: superficially sweet but ultimately tasteless and you have to suck to enjoy it

I did not have Trump laying bare the fundamental problem with US housing policy on today's bingo card

Housing can't be affordable 𝘢𝘯𝘥 a good investment

It's almost refreshing to be able to briefly focus on some utterance of his that hits on interesting policy questions rather than just raw fascism

This is using the ComfyUI interface and running the Flux 2 Dev and Flux 2 Klein 9B Base models. I know that sounds like a bunch of Star Trek techno-babble.

Be warned, you need a beefy GPU to do it, though.

Do you mean something like these? (Not perfect, but much closer to your original).

These were done locally on my own computer. Having the level of control local affords is hugely helpful when doing things like this.

Oh no! Walmart pulling out of California? Whatever would be do? What if all the big box retailers leave and people have to open independent stores that pay and treat their employees better and not ship all the profits to out of state millionaires and billionaires? Oh noooooo
