Seems bad that SFUSD is slipping in a contract with OpenAI for a whopping 12,000 end users with a REDACTED price tag, way out at the end of the meeting between requests for field trips and heater upgrades… 🤔🤔
Unions aren’t just a response to bad bosses, they’re a tool in our toolkit against fascism. Imagine if hotel staff had the power and protections to shut down hotels during raids!
You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test
Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs)
Good tech.
Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales)
Bad tech.

The most dangerous attack on press freedom of the modern era has almost completely fallen off the homepages of our major news organizations. And what little coverage there is barely mentions the First Amendment. This is very wrong.

I'm not seeing a lot of coverage but I got the email about it 🤷
Clear, direct, doesn't sound like a staffer sat down and workshopped the wording, doesn't include any irrelevant shit about this being a "distraction" from something else. I feel like if more candidates just acted like normal humans it would go a long way!
There's a Princess cruise ship that's been chillin near Treasure Island for many hours, anyone know what the deal is?
I am now actually riding the self driving sales tax bus. I got the name this time, it's this www.anrok.com 🤷
Join DSA SF and @jackiefielder.bsky.social at city hall Monday at 12 to rally for a Muni measure that grows service while protecting tenants!
The MuniForever proposal:
- expands service by 10%
- prohibits tax pass-throughs to rent-controlled tenants
- shifts tax burden onto corporations and mansions
It seems like this would be a lot easier to fix than the extra fingers or whatever? So that "when" will be quite soon I fear
I didn't think to note the name of the company 😐 whatever Muni is charging for that ad space it's not enough
what does this mean
"Self-driving sales tax"
- an ad on the side of a muni bus
If you're trying to ditch NYT Games, which you should be since their games singlehandedly prop up the entire dogshit rag financially, you should switch to Puzzmo. An annual sub is 50% off today for a crazy $19 and as a bonus doesn't enable the genocides of Palestinians and trans people
You can also help by asking the SFMTA Board to close the commercial passenger vehicle that Mayor Lurie is abusing to allow Waymo, Uber and Lyft onto Car-Free Market Street. If Market becomes a robotaxi and ride-hail highway, it will be hopelessly congested and make service restoration difficult.

Friendly reminder that striking workers are asking you not to patronize ANY Starbucks store.
If you're traveling this week, your airport definitely has other options. Zero reason to even think about crossing a picket line!
For me it's the way the press pool just quietly went along with it because he's the president
The entire point of this country is that we don't have to let some guy do whatever he wants just because of his title. We don't have to respect him or go along with him just because he holds an office
The media is gonna say the Epstein Files were released and leave this part out of it
The second paragraph of every article about Trump freeing House Republicans to vote to release the Epstein files should make it clear that he could order them released himself and chooses not to.
SPEAK UP AT CITY HALL TO KEEP MARKET STREET MOVING! Tuesday, November 18 12pm: Deliver signatures (Polk St) 1pm: Public comment at City Hall (room 400) Join us to hand-deliver 2,500 petition signatures to the Mayor, then make public comment at City Hall for car-free Market Street.
DSA SF is joining the Keep Market Street Moving campaign for two actions at City Hall Tuesday, November 18, where we’re supporting the Citizen Advisory Committee’s call to close the loophole that allows commercial passenger vehicles on Market Street between Steuart and 10th.
ok I guess this is it www.documentcloud.org/documents/26... (linked from www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a... )
"not to be trusted" is quite the understatement
The committee website has this oversight.house.gov/release/over... but I gather it's mostly pages of nothing meant to distract from what was released earlier
Does anyone have a direct link to the actual emails? I don't trust the news reports which seem to be mostly downplaying the situation from what I've seen
I'm begging you all in the media. Please read the emails for more than 2 seconds. They don't just say Trump "knew" about underage girls. THE EMAILS SAY HE PERSONALLY PARTICIPATED.
