Can anyone in SF explain why our most bike friendly part of town (Golden Gate Park) is a "No Parking Zone" for @baywheels ? And that there are a total of just 10 docks in its ~1.75 sq mi!!!??? This is bananas.

@CeeLei @FifthandMission Really gutted to hear this news. Thank you for all your work and I hope you find an awesome new job telling the stories of the Bay area.

I’ve put off writing this note but it’s time to face the difficult thing that I’m still processing: @FifthandMission is ending, the podcast I’ve produced and hosted for over 2.5 years. Today’s final episode is my goodbye note and reflection to listeners. sfchronicle.com/podcasts/artic…

@patwater @abhinemani CfA has abdicated that role. If someone has filled it, I don't know who it is.

@tomdooner @abhinemani and I were chatting the other day how it feels there less civic tech vibes on twitter these days

where do civic tech people hang out these days aka where can I ask stupid data management questions like the best no / low code way to replace a clunky access db with something that's easier to maintain and, well, access the data out of

@patwater Wow, congrats! That's huge!

@tomdooner @NavaPBC That was a good one! Here's teh latest linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

Today's my last day at @codeforamerica after 6.5 years. It's been an emotional day, as I reflected back on all the connections I've built and the work I've done. Working with the #cfabrigade network was a joy, as was all the product work I was able to do.

@patwater @NavaPBC Thanks! How are you doing these days? I was just thinking about that one camping trip you invited me on that one time, heh. Fun times!

@tomdooner @NavaPBC Best of luck good sir!

@mattBernius @codeforamerica Thanks, Matt ♥️. I hope we cross paths again soon!

@tomdooner @codeforamerica You are the best Tom. I am sorry I am a coast away today. When I think CfA and what we aspire and hope to be, you are one of the people who I feel most embodies those ideals. Good luck at Nava!

@Ling_Garcia @codeforamerica Thanks Mai-Ling! I hope you're well!

@tomdooner @codeforamerica Tom- you’re a gem. End of an era- and off to the next. Can’t wait to see what you do!

@thisboy @codeforamerica Thanks! How are you doing? I think of you whenever I look at my Strava segment for Hawk Hill (lol)

@tomdooner @codeforamerica Congrats -- that was a good run

I look forward to when I can wholeheartedly say that @codeforamerica has the best working conditions of anywhere in civic tech. Please help us convince CfA that providing strong labor protections will make it a great place to do good work.

@codeforamerica "43 days of PTO" is misleading -- the proposal is for 17-19 company holidays plus 18-24 days PTO. IMHO we should treat them differently since PTO would accrue whereas holidays do not.

Our economic proposal builds on our already strong benefits package, adding key features like: ➡️Gender affirming care ➡️Fertility assistance ➡️Automatic wage increases ➡️Added baby bonding time ➡️Up to 43 days of PTO per year Details here: codeforamerica.org/news/union-ben…

@mattBernius Damn dude I hope you're well. The karma gods owe you big time after all that...

Before anyone asked, I did check to see if there is a frequent surgery punch-card for a few procedure. No. No there isn't. 2/2

Ok, I think I need a exorcism or something. A little over a week ago I had surgery that ended up being more involved than planned. Yesterday I feel and broke my clavicle... requiring more surgery. Today someone hit my parked car in front of me then drive off... 1/2

@dogpatchryan @markasaurus And they have a liquor license/have boozy drinks!

@markasaurus I’ll let the office know!

While we still have a lot of ground to cover in negotiations (including on a lot of economic issues), we eagerly await to see the discussions we'll hold at the bargaining table this Thursday!

@dustinbpalmer Where is the FTC in preventing this abuse!??! Smh

When you're really into industry consolidation AND vandalism.

@Weather_West @mmcphate Does this mean that if the last 20 years are abnormally dry, then the baseline will decrease (thus making it easy to surpass)? Or is it constant in this analysis?

@mmcphate No, this is relative to a fixed baseline. That baseline is changing in the real world, but not for purposes of this calculation.

Brief thread about...snow. As of this weekend, the Southern Sierra now appears to have largest snowpack in recorded history (as measured by snow water equivalent, or SWE). Not just for the calendar date, but for *any* date! #CAwx #CAwater [1/n]

@ctuan hey, in your last story, you mention: "There’s also a reported 50% decrease in the number of passengers in cars heading into resort parking lots, according to a regional transportation study." Any idea how I can find that study? Seems interesting to read.

@auweia1 @DeanPreston This is theft, not fraud. These scams are enabled by antiquated technology on EBT cards.

@DeanPreston no mention of the fraud? cbsnews.com/losangeles/new…

@openargs I would love to come back. But to do so I would want: - amicable separation with Thomas - some indication of changed behavior from Andrew - more heart to heart about the whole thing - time to pass
