Girls Running From Houses @girlfleeshouse.bsky.social · 1d

It's all happening as it ever has, helplessly. One girl leaves the house; another arrives at sunset, seeking a story for a newspaper.

It’s Treasure Island. The one you have to pass over to get between Oakland and SF. They built a shitton of housing and it’s one of the few places younger folks can afford to live in reasonable conditions.

It’s cool how people just constantly lie about what the Family Zoning Plan will actually do

Call me next time? I might have one in the can of antique screws.

Yeah so like, I don’t want you to see me as a woman, or a man, or necessarily a third thing in between, but as a little spark of spirit obliged to drive a beat up early-model woman suit until the wheels fall off.

Relatedly, I am becoming aesthetically SO CONFUSING to gay men. Ahahahaha…

I can’t reply on threadreader but lol at the plain & fancy examples. Almost all of the small- & at least 1 if not 3 of the large fancy buildings were built by Fernando Nelson. Distinctive! Crowd pleasing! Vernacular! (He had never trained as an architect & made up his front designs!)

Adopt the Juicero or be left behind. A vital shift is underway in juicing. The Juicero is no longer optional. It's tomorrow's future, today. 40% of jobs are impacted by the Juicero. The Juicero isn't the future, it's a present necessity. Nobody hand-juices anymore. To hand-juice is like an impairment. Everyone must now focus on the delegation and the verification of a juice. We become less juice producers and more juice enablers. Adopt the Juicero or be left behind. We are burning every forest and poisoning every river to produce more Juiceros. You will become obsolete if you don't get on the Juicero bandwagon. Students must not be taught how to hand-juice. 80% of jobs will be lost to the Juicero. Students must be taught to exclusively focus on how to collaborate with the Juicero. Education must focus on orchestrating agentic Juicero systems. The Juicero is inevitable. Adopt the Juicero or be left behind. Adapt or risk becoming obsolete. As the Juicero rapidly advances toward automating up to 90% of juicing, the skills that will matter most include juice design, Juicero fluency, juice delegation, and juice quality assurance. 110% of jobs have been replaced by the Juicero.

So the guy who just blew by me on his ebike on Valencia Street, blasting “What does the fox say?” thank you.
Now I have that stuck in my head

Is there a way to buy a peerage these days? Because I would contribute cash money to get Sean Dunn named the Earl of Sandwich

LA County developed a publicly owned and open source voting system that supports 18 different languages. It's ADA compliant. (Though a second generation voting machine is coming out to make it easier for low vision and blind voters).
No Diebold, etc. no proprietary black box software

WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger.

Gen Z women aren't playing around.

Scott Adams was funny for a little bit, but has spent most of his life being an absolutely awful antisocial human. He won’t be missed.
