Here's the link to the online meeting at 10am tomorrow (Friday the 5th) where you can comment in support of the Kirkham neckdown and against removing it: www.sfmta.com/calendar/eng...
Despite the anger, San Francisco’s new piece of street infrastructure decreased injury collisions and dropped average speeds at that location to 11 miles per hour.
S.F. installed an experimental street design called a ‘neckdown.’ Drivers hated it

Beautiful!
On Mars, dust grains are ~ the same size as visible light wavelengths, so they scatter red light away (Mie scattering) and let blue through near the Sun.
On Earth, air molecules are far smaller, scatter blue away (Rayleigh) and leave red.
Same physics, inverted colors!

My artwork of a Sunset on Mars. Dust and small particles suspended in the Martian atmosphere scatter light in the direction of the Sun forward. This creates a blue halo around the setting Sun, rendering a Martian landscape quite different from its terrestrial equivalent.

We can restore at least 2019 service if we pass Muni Now, Muni Forever's community parcel tax proposal.
But Daniel Lurie is pushing his own version that would lock in cuts (in order to save millions for downtown companies like Marc Benioff's Salesforce who just got Trump tax cuts). Write a letter!

Sometimes I wonder how much I should lean into these facts when promoting my game project:
• Self-Publishing Indie
• Self-Funded Indie (Read: No Budget)
• Meticulously handcrafted (Anti Gen-AI) and affordable ($7)
Probably at least a bit more. 🙂↕️
Also yes, this is partially a TGA subpost. 🫢

Bees can discriminate long 🟡🟡 vs short🟡 flashes, a bit like the "dash" and "dot" of the Morse code.

Just got back from protesting ConnectedSF's gala. This org's leader Marie Hurabiell tweeted that trans women aren't women and undocumented people are violent criminals. And Mayor Lurie was a featured guest helping her fundraise! Clearly, Lurie is not good at vetting people. 🧵

i'm trying to get recruiters to stop emailing my old email address that i haven't used in a professional context (or most other contexts!) in well over a decade AND enlist their help in removing it from the data vacuum company databases :-/

@governor.ca.gov talks a big game on climate and equity, but when push comes to shove, he doesn't walk the walk. $20B/yr on highways, and yet MTC still gets $500m extra to expand CA-37. But funding transit is a step too far for Newsom.
It's infuriating.

Bluesky moderation suspending trans people for wishing ill on the members of a hate group who are actively working to eradicate us shows us what a morally bankrupt crock of shit civility is and how it only serves to punish victims and protect victimizers. Bluesky should be ashamed of themselves.

this is a fun little prototyping workflow (it's actually a fair bit of work so maybe not *great* for prototyping):
- model a scene
- pencil trace the major edges/contours onto a piece of bristol
- add color with markers
- project a photo of that drawing back onto the 3D model

by adding a map range node in "stepped linear" mode to texture coordinates, any texture can be pixelated, dynamically!
