Permanent Pie Consuming Class

I'm not going to make a list of boxes to check off in Oakland, but if I did, a slice at Pizza Ponte would be one of them. Crust is perfect. Sauce is a bit sweet but the ricotta sets it off.

Deactivating until mid-January. It has been fun, but I need to focus on my job search efforts.

Why is Bay Area transit always more of a clusterfuck over the holidays?

Now take this and compare to what KY congress people were saying re: Rob Reiner yesterday

good morning holy shit www.nytimes.com/2025/12/16/u...

I would be so angry about what he said about Rob Reiner if not for the fact that the 25th Amendment is right there and no one is even bothering to mention it.

Kentucky is gonna flip so blue it's not even funny.

The first day of Chanukkah has been so unbearably sad. I can't wait for this year to be over.

The Cinnabon article reminds me of the things that don't work about leftism/socialism and are positive about capitalism. Namely allowing people to behave badly. Don't worry, I'm not a libertarian, I just think that economic consequences can be the best behavioral consequences.

Needs more disruption, rioting, and chaos in the background.

A friend of mine recently interviewed for Alameda County with an AI agent. If I ever find out who rubber stamped that, I will make hell seem like a good option for them..

Imagine Joe Biden or Kamala Harris saying that affordability is a Republican construct.

TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there. Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.

Reaching out to rural areas and rural voters is hard but necessary work. Hopefully, this election resonates through 2026.

Our science program is just a bunch of old dumb fucks manipulating the stock market. Project Genesis, really? Are we in an anime?

I do not care what country you are from..If you are a group of three men traveling and you flank a woman on the train and proceed to cough over her, your passport should immediately be revoked.

Let's stop calling anything these companies do research. Any research facebook touches implies serious ethical challenges and conflict of interest.

I'm in Japan and if you stay at the street level, you miss out on some delicious things.

Carmel should not exist. It should become public ward of the state. www.sfgate.com/centralcoast...

I'm so disappointed in this country and inept political leadership (mostly local) every single day. I will be in Japan in two days and I can't wait to be on a mental break.

I was so deeply disappointed whenever any YIMBY activist group would try to justify inclusionary zoning.

Do you ever feel so existentially dead that deciding what to feed yourself with produces overwhelm?

I am still in disbelief that anyone with a single brain cell thought that this would be a good idea.

So-called “inclusionary zoning” is a tax on new housing that reduces the amount of housing that gets built, worsening the housing shortage and driving up rent. It is bad, counterproductive policy and we should stop doing it.

I hope that Trump going after Hoffman is his undoing.

We are doomed.

Okay, so maybe I wasn't too mean to him ...
