The conspiracy we wanted: Scary Apple govt affairs lawyers leaning hard on local politicians to stabilize employee housing costs.
The conspiracy we got: a handful of tech founders made some YIMBY c3 grants

One reason this place feels different to me is that I slowly unfollowed all the early super-posters on Twitter, treating my feed as more of a professional resource.
But here, all the old super-posters set up shop early and its all cat pictures and shit posting, just like the old days.
Seems pretty chaotic, not necessarily in a bad way
Checking to make sure dog photo posts work.
