I know there's A Lot Going On but I would like to point out that this EO is the explicit position of, among many others elsewhere, the governor of California, the current and previous mayors of San Francisco, several (most?) of the board of supervisors, and all the uberrich who support them
The White House, via yet another executive order, has announced a plan for the sweeping removal and subsequent detention of people experiencing homelessness.

If "AI" was as valuable as they say it is, they wouldn't be selling it to you. They'd be using it themselves in secret to make the next Minecraft, the next Avatar, the next Hello Kitty and then they'd sell that to you.
They're trying to sell you a sick goose, while pretending it lays golden eggs.

very excited to be a founding worker-owner of COYOTE. Aiming for the things I miss about alt-weeklies (like writing fun shit & doing real investigative work at the same time) w/o the things I don’t miss (vulture publishers who knew nothing about the Bay Area or journalism and seemingly hated women)

New NIMBY law just dropped. Mayor Lurie wants to ban RV parking anywhere in SF.
Along with YIMBY Supervisor Mahmood’s proposed ban on new homeless shelters, the war on the poor is raging in San Francisco.

Back on my bullshit aka filling in @chrisarvinsf.bsky.social's map, but this time by walking the main thoroughfares and only adding streets I see with my own eyes. This is what I got from walking the length of Mission St. (with an H Mart side quest)

Feeling seen by this @missionlocal.org piece. I once overheard a pharmacy tech say that she had been working for 14 hours straight because there simply wasn't any way to stop without making things even worse.
Fuck (and I mean this with my whole chest) Walgreens

Blockbuster pharmacy lines at last Walgreens in the Mission
The wait time at the Mission Walgreens has been long for years. Some say the recent closure of the Potrero Walgreens made it worse.

Forrest got up on a ladder to adjust the string lights in our yard and when he came down he said "If you climb up you can see right into [weird tech dad neighbor]'s backyard." That's love.

Feeling very relieved by this take not only because it eloquently expresses how I was feeling about it, but also because this is how I found out this grotesque is only temporary.
Here's what happens when we turn over our public space to third-party art agencies and privately funded artworks, with no real opportunities for public feedback.
