@PippengerHarlo Supporting Connie is funny coming from someone with "parks fan" and "free transit enthusiast" in their bio

what’s confusing about Connie Chan to national observers is that locally, she has been pretty firmly on the left flank of the S.F. political divide. Although there are some big asterisks there, she has built real credibility and trust with local labor and progressive groups.

Lincoln Riley says it's taken four "fun but challenging years" to open USC's window. But the program's window is open now.
English
@NDIrishLax How would he call him on bullshit? By pretending he didn’t say “anytime, any place”?
English
This dude is an actual clown and it's sad that Marcus Freeman has too much class to call this guy on his bullshit
Chris Treviño@ChrisNTrevino
Lincoln Riley’s full comment on the #USC-Notre Dame rivalry game ending: “Had Notre Dame lived up to their word and played us anytime, anywhere we’d be playing them the next two years.” @ThePeristyle
English
@carlatcole Overnight repeal would be disastrous, but a transition out of it with subsidies for lower/fixed income folks to prevent a shock would be good.
English
Garry Tan pretends to care about Chinese grandmas & aunties but repealing Prop 13 will lead to massive displacement of beloved longstanding communities
Kim Chi@KimChiSpicey
Garry Tan and GrowSF want to REPEAL Prop 13. GrowSF also endorsed Breed after she defunded law enforcement. So yes, Garry does want Chinese grandmas robbed in their driveway and then taxed out of their homes. Now Garry and GrowSF are endorsing Saikat Chakrabarti and Scott Wiener for congress so they can do this at a national level.
English
@matthewstoller Or normal tech workers paying AMT. We already tax unrealized gains! This is a thing that exists today!
English
Taxing unrealized capital gains is outrageous unless it’s property taxes paid by normal people that’s cool
English
@SSN_NotreDame I’d love, just once, to hear an ND fan say it was stupid of Freeman to say “anytime, any place.” Because that’s the rule y’all set. Sorry we called your bluff.
English
Translation: “ND wouldn’t roll over and do exactly as USC pleased so USC decided to end the rivalry”
Unnecessary Roughness@UnnecRoughness
“Had Notre Dame lived up to their word and played us anytime, anywhere… we’d be playing them the next two years.” Lincoln Riley just called out Notre Dame in response to the rivalry with USC being put on hold

@gfodor If the role of junior programmer is gone, that means every higher level of programmer is gone as well (because there will be nobody to advance). Godspeed with your AI generated code and nobody to review it.
English
These are mostly clever/cope driven reframes or strawman arguments. What happened for me:
• I will never hire junior programmers, the role is gone (maybe a new kind of junior swe will exist)
• I run AI agents all day long to do things
• I can and have vibe coded video games, for some definition of vibe coding
• I no longer manually write code
Santiago@svpino
A few 2025 predictions that never came to be: • Junior developers were supposed to be fully replaced • Prompt engineers were supposed to be the highest-paid role in tech • Every company was supposed to be running autonomous AI agents • Everyone was supposed to be able to vibe code video games by now • Writing code manually was supposed to be obsolete • Most companies weren't supposed to be hiring engineers anymore None of that has happened. Some of it may never happen at all.

@SFC_Datebook I cannot believe you employ a film critic who sees no value in movie theatres. Genuinely: what the actual fuck?
English
ASK MICK: Chronicle film critic emeritus Mick LaSalle also answers questions about his “inner essence,” plus his reading and viewing preferences. sfchronicle.com/entertainment/…
English
@MickLaSalle’s @sfchronicle piece saying there’s no reason to go to a movie theater genuinely might be the most offensive thing about cinema a film critic has ever written. It’s a fireable offense. What a joke.
English
@Rosencrantzisme @kpomerleau "If SF really wants to tax the wealth of its residents they should tax the poorest residents!"
English
If CA wants a one-time tax on the wealth of its residents that would also raise revenue in perpetuity, it should raise its sales tax.
And CA could do this without raising the rate!
Kyle Pomerleau@kpomerleau
1. This is pitched as a one-time tax, but no one will believe this. It's meant to fund an ongoing expense (healthcare)! 2. A 5% wealth tax is a massive tax that is nearly a 100% tax on the returns to capital.
English
@chrisgpt An MIT showed that using ChatGPT actually erodes your critical thinking skills. You have it literally backwards.
English
People who are anti ai, will become duller and less intelligent than autodidacts who use these models to increase their critical thinking.
Especially as the models get better and learning your preferences
Samswara@samswoora
Opus 4.5 is so good its all I can talk about I'm learning things at like 10x my normal speed this is amazing
English
@antoniogm AMT is literally a tax on unrealized gains that thousands of tech workers - myself included - have experienced.
Yes, it eventually comes back as a credit, but I still had to scrounge up hundreds of thousands of dollars when exercising shares. Billionaires can do this easily.
English
Nothing reveals the innumerate “I don’t know how the world works” of the Left more than wealth taxes, particularly for tech companies.
This is a tax on paper wealth. The founder literally doesn’t have the money to pay. They’re obliged to leave the state or file for bankruptcy.
Ro Khanna@RoKhanna
Peter Thiel is leaving California if we pass a 1% tax on billionaires for 5 years to pay for healthcare for the working class facing steep Medicaid cuts. I echo what FDR said with sarcasm of economic royalists when they threatened to leave, "I will miss them very much."
English
@tellmechase @noahsloss Charges against these fraudsters started in 2022 by Joe Biden's DOJ. The grifter is the guy with the video camera. Try again.
English
@noahsloss Obvs got you spooked because you have an idea of the truth about how the dnc stays viable.
This is the mother of all grift investigations.
Thx!!

Local VC Bros are just being openly MAGA.
This is a “they’re eating the dogs, they’re eating the cats” racist, anti-immigrant kind of story, straight from Trumpworld.
amanda moore 🐢@noturtlesoup17
I filmed this FBI raid of an allegedly fraudulent Somali owned business outside of Minneapolis almost two weeks ago. The New York Times and KARE 11 were also there.
English
@YIMBYLAND This discovery literally started with Biden's DOJ. This youtuber didn't uncover shit. It's been a known story, if minimally covered nationally, for years. (B-ski link, which I assume this site hides, so I shortened it)

My one question with this whole thing is like did the state literally never inspect these daycares?
This seems equally, if not more horrific, as the fraud…
Nick shirley@nickshirleyy
🚨 Here is the full 42 minutes of my crew and I exposing Minnesota fraud, this might be my most important work yet. We uncovered over $110,000,000 in ONE day. Like it and share it around like wildfire! Its time to hold these corrupt politicians and fraudsters accountable We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening, the fraud must be stopped.
English
I’m independent. I don’t blindly subscribe to labels like you. Every party needs to be held accountable sometimes.
You can say you believe all those things, but if the people you keep voting for do the opposite on most of them, then your words don’t really matter.
You’re a classic champaign neolib.

@KimChiSpicey @huip1 Ah, making shit up, cool. I support a wealth tax, the cap gains tax rate is insane, public services are good, sales taxes regressive, etc. Meanwhile I genuinely view you as a conservative from the stuff you post here, I just haven’t figured out if you realize you’re one or not.
English
@huip1 @braundiggity He’s a typical neolib. When it comes to taxing everyday people, he loves socialism. Then when it comes to taxing billionaires and regulating large real estate developers, he goes full-blown Reaganite.
