TBH - and I know this a very low bar - I'd be happy if #a2council candidates would agree to not create or spread misinformation in their campaign messaging.
Focusing on explaining actionable plans for implementing their own policy ideas would be nice too.
When you mention "insiders & special interests" at the end of this video are you referring to specific people?
If not, what are you talking about?
Please turn these vague accusations into specific ones so the ppl you're accusing can respond, & voters can trust that you're not a conspiracy theorist.
I've worked for one of the top research universities in the world for over 30 years, & the ways in which they are forcing this *experimental* technology into common use as if it's actually been fully tested & proven flawless (it hasn't & isn't) almost makes me want to take early retirement.
The only problem with this approach is that when using AI (sic) you literally never know if the answer it gives is correct without vetting that answer. So you're actually just enjoying the illusion of it being "nicer" than having to sort through the reddit links etc on your own to vet their answers.
I started adding -ai at the end of all searches.
Very happy with the results.
Yep.
Been using binder clips for years.
Sad landlord energy:
I'm active in local politics in a tech city where we had long used the birdsite for organizing & an activist friend sent me a bsky invite months after I had closed my birdsite account, which I did almost immediately after Elmo bought and began ruining it.
Thanks for the reminder!
Found my cute little card 💖
How can I find my user number?
Today I learned...
Literally the only good thing that ever happened in any Jurassic Park movie...

By my recollection there are at least two notoriously rage-filled men who formerly (dis)graced our council chambers.
Only one of them built an illegal (unpermitted) second floor on his house while on council.
"After appealing to my own authority, I rest my case."
Ms. Armentrout recently wrote of me that I've "always been vile" (for persistently referencing the racist history of exclusionary single family zoning), but I'd submit that the "machine politics" narrative is the vilest falsehood introduced into #a2council political discourse in my lifetime.
horrifying
ACAB is transitioning from being a statement of opinion to a statement of objective fact.
"Stop trying to stop us from murdering you or we'll murder you more. TBH you should be grateful we'd pay enough attention to you to even want to murder you in the first place. I mean, geez."
"I will murder you now because I suspect you might be… committing fraud."
[Time passes]
"Looks like you weren't committing fraud after all. Sorry you're dead."
"Guess I could've investigated *before* I murdered you, but… you know… maybe you could've been nicer to me before I murdered you, yeah?"
They'll also decimate all the physical and administrative infrastructure that supports the production and distribution of birth control.
FX makeup artists can create entire fake body parts that seamlessly blend with the actors they're created for, but Trump can't hire someone that can do better than this to conceal his hand problem?
I'd prefer incompetence to corruption, because corruption can be extremely efficient when it is sufficiently widespread and well organized - incompetence not so much.
The way his cult cheers for him gives big Nuremberg rally vibes.
I wish that sentence was an exaggeration.
Glad to know there are others like me.
I just like to watch what happens, feel how it makes me feel, and think the thoughts that it makes me think.
Who the fuck wakes up in the morning & decides they're going to do a bunch of on-camera interviews in which they lie about a person being a cannibal?
Seems like certifiable mental illness to me, which if untreated ought to be grounds for impeachment (among the many other grounds in this case).
Big yes to all of this.
Also, I sure would love it if one or more #a2council candidates would come forward & plainly say, "It's unacceptable in a 21st century city supposedly dominated by progressive politics to maintain economically segregating zoning categories, & we need to stop doing it ASAP."
Even better than pleading not guilty to these sexual offences would have been not committing them in the first place.
Judging by the talking points you've put forward on this lengthy thread, I would not be surprised to see a Pause the Plan sign in your front yard.
The Venn Diagram of things you've said here & things PtP'ers chant in unison appears to pretty much be a circle.
I appreciate your honesty.
