When I was growing up, human cloning technology was still very limited, so the idea of being in a relationship with your exact clone would have been hard to imagine. But now I'm dating myself.

@interfluidity I would say the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (which would not exist without absolutely enormous US federal government subsidies backing it) is a better analog to rent control for homeowners.

#TeslaTakedown San Francisco, CAalt text: "Musk Is a Nazi" on a hand-lettered sign, held by a person with eyeglasses and a white beard, on a sidewalk with other people standing around holding signs. A street sign says 1000 O'Farrell and points to the right.https://urbanists.social/@ehasbrouck/114010044766152114

Just another Waymo picking up in the bike lane on Townsend and 3rd. They programmed them to do this on purpose. But sure, tell me again how cyclists should worship robocars as our traffic-safety saviors. đ #bikeTooter

All cars are bad. Overhyped new technology designed to increase driving, cannibalize public transit and reduce accountability for bad driving like this, is specifically insidiously bad. Donât fall for the robocar hype. Its promises of safety are lies

âAs Fielder put it, the city is trying to serve 500 homeless families. If HSH gave them each a $3,500 monthly housing voucher, the annual cost would be $21 million. ThatâsâŠabout 20 percent of what the city spends on police overtime. Itâs also, Fielder points out, less than the city is prepared to spend building a habitat for pandas at the zoo.âhttps://48hills.org/2025/04/fielder-proposal-to-protect-unhoused-families-runs-into-opposition-from-moderates/

Nice to see Austin, Texas ended its use of ALPRs! We *can* pull the plug on dragnet surveillance that puts immigrants and people seeking reproductive care at risk. SF next? https://www.kvue.com/article/news/local/austin-license-plate-readers-ends-privacy-concerns/269-4dc64690-c6c0-4ace-a009-fd8a13f69113 @eff

On the Bay Area regional transit measure: "A gross receipts tax [rather than sales tax] would ensure that the largest and wealthiest companies contribute their fair share to the infrastructure that helps make their record profits possible. This approach avoids placing an additional burden on families already struggling with the crushing cost of living in the Bay Area." #SB63đđ: https://www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/openforum/article/transit-public-transportation-tax-20794117.php?utm_source=marketing&utm_medium=copy-url-link&utm_campaign=article-share&hash=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2ZjaHJvbmljbGUuY29tL29waW5pb24vb3BlbmZvcnVtL2FydGljbGUvdHJhbnNpdC1wdWJsaWMtdHJhbnNwb3J0YXRpb24tdGF4LTIwNzk0MTE3LnBocA%3D%3D&time=MTc1NTI3OTUyNzI4Ng%3D%3D&rid=ZWNkYzYyNDMtZjYwZC00YzhhLWI0N2EtNTYzZGYwNTg2MWVh&sharecount=MA%3D%3D

The reason the Legislature has a say is that multi-county ballot measures are usually not allowed, so this needs special authorization (SB63).And the reason the Legislature is, so far, requiring it to be a sales tax is that they're giving in to bullying from the business lobby, which says it'll go scorched-earth against any version that taxes businesses like theirs (which just received huge Trump tax cuts).https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yxstwBU_6wI75XXalaM0WNBDncMuSd6Z/view

@interfluidity makes them work harder to overturn it at least. and maybe they even fail to do so in time for 2026?

It was frustrating to see all the ânot a paid protesterâ signs today. These scabs are driving down wages for hardworking unionized paid protesters.

@interfluidity @curtosis thatâs why regime-friendly oligarchs own all major media and social media platforms. Misdirect everyoneâs anger and theyâre fine.

@curtosis @interfluidity It can override who they blame for what they see happening. It happens all the time.

@interfluidity in complete seriousness, I agree. wealth hoarding to that extent is not healthy or normal behavior. it's not good for them either!

While the GoFundMe to support Renée Good's family raised $1.5 million, a GoFundMe for the family of Keith Porter, Jr., a Black man shot by an ICE agent a week earlier, hasn't met its $35,000 goal.
