Op-ed: Double Parking Likely Contributed to Inner Sunset Tragedy - Streetsblog San Francisco This is yet another example of why protected bike lanes have to become the default in San Francisco

Yep. β€œJust go around,” is never polite or useful. Often accompanied by aπŸ–•, an angry tone of voice, or rephrased as β€œfuck you motherfucker.” β€œJust going around” puts bikes & peds into β€œcar lanes” which ppl in cars mistakenly believe are their sole domain. Anyone wandering near them is at fault.

Also of interest: The Hysteria Podcast/This Fuckin Guy does a scary (and customarily witty) takedown of him.

I’ve created a handful of hater lists to block. They’re either tag hijackers (give money to this precious dog!!) or obvious bots (booby downshots, following 50k ppl, zero posts). One of those (which appears to be both boobies and dog gfm) revenge added me to all of their lists. Oh noes.

This is also Ripley. She is also enormously helpful.

Oh, what was MY first clue that the timeline went sideways?

When V (The TV Series, 84-85) returned with a garbage budget, then predictably ended with a fairy fart and a shitty cliff hanger.

1 dead after car crashes into 2 ppl in SF.

Per my previous email: bc the driver stayed to chat with police, I guarantee they will 100% not be punished in any way for killing 1 person and injuring another. Oopsydaisy, amirite?

Sometimes I see a hidden post from a well loved person like @chucktingle.bsky.social and think OH NO what terrible thing did they do then I realize they committed the sin of posting about a sportsball which is fine I guess :)

(I have an extensive sportsball mute list.)

That’s right, Bill. Let’s β€œbalance” the needs of a β€œfrustrated” person optionally wielding an armed multi-ton metal weapon capable of turning the human body into a crayon mark on asphalt against someone who is β€œwalking slowly.”

YOU’RE THE GODDAMN PROBLEM, BILL.

Driver Kills Two-Year Old Child in Mission Rock - Streetsblog San Francisco SFMTA responds by repainting crosswalks. But once again things are following a familiar script

Takeaway: in San Francisco, car murders of pedestrians are accidents, & free of repercussion as long as you stay & chat with the police for a few minutes. It’s actually helpful bc the city can trumpet new design safety features to mitigate more people doing car murders at that exact intersection.

They’re no heroes. But agreed probably less villainousβ€”for nowβ€”than some of the others?

I will not read the NYT for any reason bc I imagine somewhere in there is an entreaty for its gentle readers to understand this is a perfectly reasonable action to protect women.

Just got a fishy message from legit Apple support informing me I was off the iPhone upgrade plan bc I allowed AppleCare to expire. On my previous phone. Verifiably sent in & replaced w this phone. Which. Has. AppleCare. Apple genuinely seems to be losing shine in all manner of ways.

Gavin Newsom will explore why this may or may not be good idea but definitely after the next election cycle on his next podcast, β€œIt Me! Gavvy!! With my good good friends Peter T and Arnold S who have completely average net worths and very normal perspectives on money in politics!”

Do it. Subscribe. We are getting more honest headlines that do far less damage to real human beings from this semi-infotainment.

Whatever thing you’ve heard re trans people being bad in some way is :always: a lie, perpetuated by people like Jesse Singal & the wicked NYT (like, that sounds so old schoolmarm, but wtf else do you call a previous world gold standard now fallen so low, willfully lying at every turn?).

IME it’s usually good meta data that what I am about to hear will be 100% passive aggressive bullshit. I don’t mind it. ;)
