The first Frozen was so bad that I didn’t bother with the second.

We need abundant, affordable housing in San Francisco so artists can afford to live here and the buskers in the park are better than the dude currently doing karaoke to songs that are outside his range

We had lunch at Loveski in Jackson Square today. It was good!

specific guys aside—it is politically and morally bankrupt to be told we must seriously consider how many is too many pieces of nazi flair

@rollovereasy.org I love my Inside Line Equipment bike bag! Handmade in Berkeley!

He’s absolute poison for the Democratic Party and they need to make clear that he’s not welcome.

Anyone who will touch him with a ten-foot pole is guilty by association as far as I’m concerned.

almost impossible to overestimate how many of these apple is going to sell. have you seen how bad the “cheapest laptop that gets me online” market is? this is gonna be like if the thing that killed all the dodos was a terminator. a t-1000 terminator.

FWIW, San Francisco stopped smelling like weed for a little while when vapes came out, before everyone realized vapes have unknown risks and switched back to flower. I think this is solvable with an anti-smoking campaign to push people to edibles and beverages instead.

love to complain the Sunset Dunes process was rushed after it took 5+ years and included 2 lawsuits, 2 ballot measures, 1 appeal, 2 Board of Appeals hearings, 2 Coastal Commission hearings, a couple rounds at the Board of Supervisors, and an uncountable number of public comments and meetings

It’s such a weird phrase. I just tell people I ride my bike a lot.

Looking forward to the moderate-speed tricycle chases that ensue

The guy came out of nowhere and it’s a primary! That’s when you say, “next candidate, please!”

reflecting and starting to get just tad pissed off at how many of my supposedly fellow travelers were unwilling to cut bait the minute the tattoo came to light.

and many of whom have now gone further and started acting scandalized at the notion one could even have that line.

We’re watching Speed (1994) tonight, and I just can’t believe that this movie came out exactly one week before the OJ Simpson chase.

this should be the end of the Gavin Newsom 2028 discussion. the party has spoken, full stop

USA vs. Latvia in playing wheelchair curling. A curler in a wheelchair is pushing a stone with a big stick. They're on ice so there's an assistant holding his wheelchair in place

2 Team USA athletes in wheelchairs holding hands, having a pep talk in front of a crowd. they've got big sticks sticking out of the front of their chairs which they use for pushing the stones

Mr. Eliason, who advocates allowing single-stair construction for small multifamily buildings as a solution to the housing crisis, said he learned how common the design was outside the United States while working in Germany in 2019. After seeing an 11-story tower his firm at the time had designed, Mr. Eliason recalled, he turned to his boss and said: "Something is wrong here. Where's your other stair?" "He's looking at me, and said: 'What are you talking about? If there was another stair, there wouldn't be any room for the homes'"

Single-stair gets the New York Times treatment. @holz-bau.bsky.social reminds us why they call the last line the kicker: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/04/b... (gift link)

The evidence that, in an emergency, having two stairs available somewhere down a long, maze-like hallway is safer than having one available right outside your door just isn’t there.

You don’t get it, do you? Hyperinflation is equivalent to student loan cancellation. If I can pay off my student loans with a wheelbarrow of cash equivalent to $5, I will. Then when a sane president sets it right, I’m still paid off.

This is a good example. This is five separate single-stair buildings. Five staircases, all right outside people’s front doors. In the US there would be two staircases here, and it would be a long walk to them. bsky.app/profile/holz...

…six single stair buildings where everyone has a staircase right outside their door. This also allows higher-quality floor plans, where apartments can have windows on both sides.

Also, from an architectural design perspective, it also frequently results in more, closer staircases per apartment. It’s hard to describe without an illustration, but modern 2-stair buildings have long hallways and long walks to the stairs. In the same space, you could build…

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.

Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

The one that comes out in ten days? Do you have access to that?

That the Sheriff is elected, has no tax powers, gets all his money from the C&C of SF, authorizes all overtime, and that state law forces SF to honor authorized overtime, is a major flaw in the system.

I think I recall you saying at one point that the standard operating procedure in some Italian cities is to rescue evacuees from street-facing windows using ladder trucks?

What do they think they can do there that isn’t also available in Florida?
