Piedmont Avenue is booming, on a beautiful fall evening. People are out and enjoying themselves. It desperately needs the city of #Oakland to widen the sidewalks and give it a road diet.

any decent mayor would immediately rename ”Whitestown” the first time some asshole shoots a hispanic cleaning lady in the head when she knocks at the front door
“The shooting occurred Wednesday morning in a subdivision of Whitestown…”
Cleaning worker who mistakenly went to wrong home fatally shot: Police
The shooting victim died from a gunshot wound to the head, the coroner's office said.

It’s 10pm. This marks the first time since November 2019 when there is no way to cross from Richmond to San Rafael without a car.
Thanks to the @mtcbata.bsky.social plan, endorsed by Caltrans & approved by the Bay Conservation & Development Commission there is now no trail, no shuttle, & no bus.

It’s 6am on October 27th, 2025, the first day of the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge trail closure and free bike shuttle service.
I’m here for most of the morning handing out rider surveys for @bikeeastbay.bsky.social. You can take it here too: bit.ly/rsrshuttlesurvey

Damn. 2025, and Marin is still pissing on public transit and bike access. Just a punch in the face for people who care about the planet.

Fortunately, I never have to explain "enshitification" to anyone over 40 again. Now I just send them an Evite, and they have the whole shitty concept instantly burned into their cerebral cortex.

Yesterday, when the shooter was an imagined trans Muslim woke leftist, it was WAR.
Today, when the shooter turns out to be a young, gun-toting white male and the son of a sheriff, it’s “pray.”

Some fire from Justice Sonia Sotomayor in dissent:
"We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent."

To put this loan amount in perspective:
California is spending $500 million to widen a 10-mile stretch of Highway 37 in the northern Bay Area (through a wetland, no less).
But $750 million to save the *entire* Bay Area’s transit systems is apparently infeasible.

We’ve been informed by the Governor’s Department of Finance that it won’t agree before our legislative session ends (on Friday) to finalize a $750M bridge loan to Bay Area transit.
This loan was agreed to in our June budget. Without it, BART, Muni, et al will cut service.🧵

You would think that the owner of the $75,000 Porsche Macan on 101 would not be holding his phone with two hands, typing with both thumbs and driving with his knee, in front of his five-year-old passenger. But you would be very wrong #CAdriving

Any company offering a $1T pay package to their CEO is not a serious company and their board should be summarily fired, ridiculed, and banned from a boardroom or corporate officer position in perpetuity. Looking at you, Tesla.

Trump is trying to normalize extrajudicial killings. It’s a short jump from killing Venezuelans in a boat to police in the US arguing they had to shoot the suspect because they could have gotten away.
Don't feel like doing a repost that puts the murder video on the timeline yet again but do feel like repeating the point that the president just straight-up assassinated 11 people for supposedly doing something that wouldn't be a death-penalty crime if they were caught and convicted
