thank god i 3d scanned this days before it caught fire

@bilalmahmood @KimChiSpicey @carlatcole @loomdoop appreciate you trying to stay focused on policy. This isn't the worst of what I see (Wiener gets a lot worse). I really wish the tone of the debate was better.
English
No one is saying you can't criticize me - you're welcome to do so.
I said to not disparage or slander or misgender staff or activists.
Discussing and debating policy is fine. Disparaging an individual is not.
If you can't respect that basic form of human decency, while posting from an anonymous account, that's disappointing.

Garry Tan and @bilalmahmood trying to make their bill look like less of an SF takeover by technocrats. I guess Bilal can still exploit the loophole since he can just change his identity every two terms.

Did you know that term limits for Mayor and Supervisors reset? Ren from Yes on Prop B is here to explain how we got here, what Prop B will change, and why that’s important. Yes on Prop B is endorsed by the SF Democratic Party. Want more info? termlimitreformsf.com

first time Melgar got my attention, didn't know she was working on this but she also voted for family zoning — not bad!

@micsolana @zachweinberg Seems like if a few corrupt ppl to to jail and we pass independent redistricting federally that would get us pretty far tho
English
@micsolana @zachweinberg Trump's corruption has created a lot of anger. "Let's go back to the status quo" has started to feel like being suckers to democrats. I don't have a great solution for this
English
all of their ideas now are like “should we dissolve the government, imprison our opponents, and seize every lever of power in the country? we’re the good guys remember, if we don’t do this the bad guys will win (an election)” like they don’t even talk about healthcare anymore lol
Pat Adams@PatAdams96
Kamala Harris is now calling for Democrats to hold a “No Bad Idea Brainstorm” where they discuss: - Abolishing the Electoral College - Packing the Supreme Court - Making Puerto Rico and D.C. states “We’ve got to neutralize these red states from cheating!”

Did you know in San Francisco, you can block housing from being built because it… causes a shadow?
Over the last 10 years, over 2000 units of housing have been delayed or stalled because of this.
That's why I’m announcing the SHADE Act - or Slashing Housing Appeals And Delays Everywhere.
You see today, our city treats “shadows” the same as toxic waste in our environmental review process. It allows anyone to appeal a project and stop it from being built on the grounds of some shade caused by a new building.
The SHADE Act will in turn: 1) eliminate local allowances for shadow as a reason for an environmental appeal, 2) streamline our environmental review processes from 30 days to 15 days, and 3) simplify and modernize our public notification processes.
Because let’s face it, San Francisco is paying too high a price for being afraid of its own shadow. It’s time to fix that.

@The_Real_TBA @VitalikButerin It's ok just do what you can. Also beans and tofu are cheap but you don't have to switch all at once
English
@VitalikButerin That's easy to say and do when your elite rich. Most of us are killing ourselves just to pay bills and support our kids.

Sent another 64 ETH to the Animal Welfare Fund.
I encourage others to think and act more in support of our non-human cousins too! The extreme suffering we're imposing on them in the billions is not something we talk about often, but it continues to be one of the larger blights on humanity.
And I'm getting optimistic that this century we can finally end it. Farming practices are improving, synthetic alternatives are improving.
Also, in my recent experience, good old low-tech vegetarian and vegan food has improved massively worldwide over the last ten years; I encourage anyone who has tried it long before and given up to take second look; there are far more healthier and tastier options today than the "pasta and salad" you would often get ten years ago.
English
@DadMurdos @Oakmanbearcow @politicalmath I think those are good & reasonable reforms.
It's gonna be a while, gestation crates are still legal in over 40 states. I'd encourage you to vote with your feet in the meantime by buying fish or non-ff meat. You don't have to go full vegan.
English
@RabbitsByNight @Oakmanbearcow @politicalmath Industrial reform is a thing. No, I do not have a specific list of perfect changes, but the bullet points of expanding animal pens, limiting antibiotics, and pushing for larger feed areas are perfectly reasonable.
Always an option other than hard bans.
All I have to say.

This is an extremely bad test for "would you have been chill with owning slaves"
Aella@Aella_Girl
a great test of "would you have been chill with owning slaves, if you'd been born into a slave-owning family" is whether or not you're vegetarian today
English
@DadMurdos @Oakmanbearcow @politicalmath I'm confused. We agree killing to eat is part of nature and morally ok (I'm with you here). We agree factory farming is bad. 99% of meat is in fact factory farmed.
What would you have us do about it? Should we take any action at all?
English
@RabbitsByNight @Oakmanbearcow @politicalmath Also, I don't believe killing animals is immoral. I think doing it in ways that require long-term suffering is. Temple Grandin already has proved we can improve the methods of slaughter available to us once.
That's basically my hard line. Killing to eat is part of nature.
English
@micsolana @Aella_Girl Even if meat is far less cruel (it is), the analogy works. 9 billion animals factory farmed per year in the US. We don't need to guilt meat eaters, but I do respect those who abstain on principle.
English
@Aella_Girl do you consider eating meat to be more or less cruel than owning slaves
English
@PalmyrPar She didn't say any of that. Analogy still works if you value animals only 1/10000 as much as humans
English
“Eating meat is equivalent to owning slaves because animals are at a totally equivalent level of consciousness and you’re as wrong not to think that as they were with slaves back then.”
What are you on about
Aella@Aella_Girl
a great test of "would you have been chill with owning slaves, if you'd been born into a slave-owning family" is whether or not you're vegetarian today
English
@DadMurdos @Oakmanbearcow @politicalmath FWIW I don't judge you for this. It's really hard to talk about moral beliefs without appearing judgy, but I think we have to do it anyway if any progress is to be made
English
@DadMurdos @Oakmanbearcow @politicalmath Even if it was a matter of need (debatable- beans and rice are cheaper), you still have to acknowledge it's a moral issue. In the same way as stealing to survive is a moral issue
Activists do focus on factory farming; this attempt in Solano county lost. People just don't care.
English
She's right and people losing their minds in the replies have too thin skin. Nobody said it's equally as bad as owning slaves. Just do your minute of self reflection and move on

The California Coastal Commission was created to make sure that nothing like these homes can ever be built again.
lusso@luusssso
We don’t give the California Coastal aesthetic enough love A top tier architectural genre
English
@maxdubler No I understand that. What I'm saying is we can have both good aesthetics and lots of development; in fact YIMBY policies (like less discretionary review) will likely help
But many believe it's one or the other, and seeing "defense" of this flip will confirm their fears
English
@RabbitsByNight That tradeoff is real.
We cannot have strict regulation of building aesthetics and lots of development because NIMBYs who oppose new housing will weaponize design review to demand smaller and more expensive buildings.
English
My unpopular YIMBY opinion is that this ugly flip job is preferable to any set of public policies intended to prevent people from doing stuff like this because they inevitably empower the most insane HOA Karens on earth to force people to use windows that cost 5x as much.
Moongazer@joeybeastmarket
This should warrant the death penalty
