I build up a "new" bike - a 1990 (I think) Trek 520. Recovering from minor hand surgery and trying to get my hands stronger and it's feeling pretty good! San Francisco is shiny today.

We all need to become eco-populists. That means championing policies that significantly lower daily costs while lowering emissions. Heat Pumps for All, alongside much more robust tenant rights; free and better public transit; price caps on green energy; make polluters pay for the transition.

If you're a San Franciscan of a certain age (or an anyone of an any age) take a few moments and listen Christopher Owen's new record I Wanna Run Barefoot Through Your Hair. My favorite song - www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIpz...

I know autocorrect jokes are very 2016 but here we are - I never ever will mean to say “sing song” - I always mean “ding dong”. Thank you and good night.

What Ta-Nehisi Coates is doing, using his standing in the liberal mainstream to enter rarefied mainstream spaces to speak out on behalf of Palestinians, even though those spaces will be invariably hostile and even perhaps subsequently foreclosed to him, is incredible

I’m gonna talk about podcast economics. Right now everyone at @hyperfixedpod.bsky.social including me are being paid the same. It’s a day rate which I calculated by taking a yearly salary by the number of work days in a year (260) to come up with the day rate of $288.
