San Francisco’s first ‘equity’ weed store was an epic failure. City Hall insiders may still pocket millions

The crackdown on people for accurately describing Charlie Kirk is outrageous and appalling but don't let your anger lead you to boost some tiny conflict-hunting account when you could be yelling at Jeff Bezos or Ezra Klein instead

97% of New York City's three million free parking spots are free. Adding meters to just 25% of free parking spots could generate billions of dollars for the city. Using demand-based pricing, cities can price parking by block — setting the right price to ensure a few curb spaces are open on every block. It's simple: prices increase when demand is high and decrease when demand is low. San Francisco successfully piloted demand-based parking and saw: • 1 67% drop in parking search times • 1 30% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions • Y 22% reduction in double parking
just saying, if an pro-transit mayor wants to fund some ambitious policies, there is a massive goldmine of 3 million free parking spaces in New York City just sitting there waiting to be metered

I often miss New York but never on trash day (when I stare wishfully at the carefully bound piles of cardboard slowly melting into the sidewalk in the rain)
This (bins and single-stream recycling) is extremely triggering for New Yorkers
He’s got a(n ecclesiastical) record a mile long. And he’s Catholic
NBC somehow found a Chicagoan in St. Peter’s Square, who happily proclaimed “we’re not the Second City anymore.”
Someone in this Parisian bar just told the person next to them that the new pope is American and they responded with horror lmao
Say what you want about “Donald J Trump” and “debasing the presidency” and “the death of democracy” but it’s because of him a bunch of San Francisco local news reporters get to go to Alcatraz in absolutely screamingly nice weather today
One under appreciated aspect of California is the auto accidents caused at four way intersections by someone who only too late noticed which of the four gas stations at the intersection has 87 octane for four cents cheaper
Paranoia along the old US 101 in Willits.
Not me, I paid $9 to be in the friend congestion relief zone
It happened quietly because there’s too much more going on, but sure looks like Trump’s DC US attorney just launched a crackdown on legal cannabis stores in the District. outlawreport.com/breaking-doj...
But can she do it on a rainy night in stoke
The Assassination of Pope Francis by the Coward JD Vance Vance approached a seated Pope
They should get Pitt and Affleck back for the sequel
We already knew this but the plan is to deport American citizens.
*TRUMP: WOULD LIKE TO GET HOMEGROWN CRIMINALS OUT OF THE US TOO
Sometimes I forget San Francisco the muscular port city does have a container terminal — it’s just hard to get to and small and Oakland’s isn’t and so it just kind of sits there
One fun aspect of “modernity” is how much of the old stuff is too well built, too costly or just too expensive to move
It wants to live a best life as cutscenes for Medieval 2: Total War Crusades
This is my favorite tree in San Francisco California
You went to the pro-natal conference. Your ancestors “homesteaded” in Natal. You are all the same
If the left wasn’t there maybe they had something better to do and in this case just about anything sounds better: a lecture on kropotkin attended by three people, getting stuck in traffic
Not touching the natalist discourse today since I’m old enough to remember the same people scolding people who *did* have children — and in difficult circumstances — for inadequate “personal responsibility” or whatever. Which one is it, fam
