Bummer ;-;
Common SF something like this should totally be possible ;-;

Dallas had warm weather and even warmer people, but nothing beats returning home to foggy San Francisco.
Yeah, it seems that anything less than a sympathetic response of Charlie Kirk’s death could put you at risk of being fired. Institutions are already complying in advance to avoid repercussions from the federal government.

Some photos taken this month!
The first one feels so futuristic 🚀
Sssssssssss 🐍
I KNOW RIGHT! It was being pulled by a massive truck.

This includes hospital systems in blue states.

You’re worried if the other cameras get lonely!
I love the first photo. The lighting is immaculate ✨✨
I can see why great framing!
Yeah - especially when there is an enormous amount of pressure to move fast.
It’s a tad concerning to see “vibe coding” replace code comprehension in the workspace
Just relying on LLMs without any regard for best practices is going to make your codebase into a black box
I hope junior engineers don’t rely too heavily on this tool or this industry is cooked
🚨 In addition to banning gender affirming medical treatment through Medicaid, Trump's reconciliation bill PROHIBITS health insurance purchased through Obamacare exchanges from offering transition care.
Detransition care, though, is specifically protected. CALL YOUR HOUSE REPS!
Guess I drove right past ya. I love the 4th picture with the gnarly roots!
You should! I didn’t realize how much I missed it until I was there.

Jedediah Smith State Park was breathtaking. A marvelous place to explore nature and admire the giant redwoods.
And personally a respite from the craziness of the world.
We're going to City Hall in support of safe streets on Monday, May 19 – and need you there.
Join us for any or all of these actions at City Hall:
1️⃣ 12:30: Stand in protest and solidarity at a temporary memorial on the steps of City Hall for the six pedestrians who have died this year.
SEPTA to cut service by 45% and raise fares by more than 20% due to lack of state funding. SEPTA faces a $213 million budget deficit starting July 1, 2025. While SEPTA is already one of the most efficient transit agencies in the country, additional austerity measures, such as a hiring freeze and administrative cuts, have reduced the size of this deficit from $240 million to $213 million. There is nothing left to cut from the budget but service. To avoid service cuts and drastic fare increases, the State must approve a budget that would enable SEPTA to maintain service levels while implementing modest fare increases. This would position SEPTA and Pennsylvania to welcome visitors from around the globe to America’s 250th anniversary celebrations, the FIFA World Cup games, MLB All-Star Week and other events of 2026, and to ensure reliable service for all for the next five years. Without a permanent funding solution, SEPTA will be forced to take drastic steps to irreversibly shrink the system. 50 Eliminated Bus routes 5 Eliminated Regional Rail lines 20% Reduction in service on all remaining routes 9 pm Curfew on Metro and Regional Rail services Elimination of all special service (e.g., Sports Express) Closure of 66 stations
SEPTA is offering Muni and BART riders a preview of what we face in 2026 if California fails to pass $2B in transit operations gap funding: mass destruction of public transit.
Send a letter to your representatives and Governor Newsom today and demand funding: actionnetwork.org/letters/fund...
I believe it’s for the budget workshop they are hosting
Thank you <3 it was so uplifting to see everyone smiling and celebrating ;-;

1. The Trump administration is about to release it's own anti-science "Cass Review," a sham review with pseudoscience that will be used to justify sweeping crackdowns on trans care in the United States.
No experts are involved in its drafting.
