Live skeeting the Democratic primary forum hosted by California @workingfamilies.org
The forum will be the first chance for voters to see candidates Scott Wiener, Connie Chan and Saikat Chakrabarti make the case for why they should be elected to the seat Pelosi held for nearly 40 years.

Hating teachers is one of the defining characteristics of neoliberals.
But putting that aside teachers in SF are only asking for slightly less compensation as teachers in surrounding districts because the inability to retain talent is why outcomes are so poor.

The majority of the party elected supported an active genocide and still defend the apartheid state commiting it, from that perspective we were cooked a long time ago.
If in a country of 330 million ppl you cannot find a second candidate without a nazi tattoo then just cancel elections and stop the pretense, you're fully cooked

This post was made in lab specifically to piss off bluesky.
A base that has long made pragmatic, sober decisions appears increasingly attracted to charismatic outsiders who promise to break from the party’s failures of the last decade. They see their party’s leaders as feckless and inept.

Visiting Japan just got a little less interesting, the cheese naan at Indian restaurants there was amazing.
インドカレー店はあと3年で激減、新大久保は「廃墟」になる？ 経営・管理ビザ「厳格化」でレストランが直面する理不尽（AERA DIGITAL） - Yahoo!ニュース
スパイシーなカレーに大きなナン…。インドカレーはすっかり日本人の舌にもなじんだ。だが、そんなインドカレー店やアジア系の小さな料理店に、いま消滅の危機が迫っているという。なぜなのか。

1 in 3 viewing themselves as socialist is surprising at first until you realize we're the only element of the party with a vision for a better world.

If anyone wants a sober assessment of AI and what it can do, just look to China and how they're implementing it to enhance production.
The enemy isn't the code, it's an economic system controlled by capital.

The predominent anti-AI position on bsky is that AI is useless, fake, shit and basically the same as NFTs, destined to collapse in months once everyone sees how poor it is. So anyone who suggests that it could improve or be useful to any boss in any situation in the future must be evil.

Gloves are coming off.
I moved to SF at 23 in 2009, and I’m raising my family here. But my opponent is spinning lies to make me seem like a carpetbagger. Whether you grew up here, moved here, or arrived yesterday — this is a city that welcomes everyone. I’m proud to call San Francisco home.

The global left has, it's called "the communist party of china" and they're using it for industrial production.
I understand why people are exhausted by AI hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see AI doomerism as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.

Sorcerer's apprentice has returned.
a lot of "AI hype" discourse makes more sense when you realize that a lot of initial LLM/GenAI hype envisioned replacing artists and PhDs, and its actual impacts have been much greater on coders and other tech workers
creatives/experts see "AI" as underperforming hype, techies see it overperforming

Invoking wealthy class solidarity to excuse sex crimes against children is sorta the Epstein Class in a nutshell
Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

Oh you can't afford a home? Have you tried cutting out life sustaining calories?
Gen Zers and millennials are swimming in student debt and may never own homes, but they’re splurging on gut-healthy juices and rotisserie chickens.

A new crop of gourmet grocers has hit the city, drawing lines of trendy TikTokers, MAHA-curious health fiends and Instacart devotees who want to pop in for a treat.
