Holy bulgogi! I did NOT expect such a surge of followers. If you're just following me for the first time: I skeet about housing, tech and identity. My biggest pet peeves are modern day segregation and opportunity hoarding along lines of race and class. Esp here in the San Francisco Bay Area.

If you havent seen "Core Lord" satire on YouTube, you will get a sense of the personalities that own our coast lines. Build more housing. youtu.be/60mhsrzI8Xc?...

this is very well done www.wsj.com/us-news/the-...

RETVRN

Saw the post all over bsky. I also wanted to believe it, but I also tried my best to look up the claim, could not find sh** and decided not click repost. Stay frosty. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The company's whose Daenerys-bot (allegedly) drove someone to suicide, is now going under.

Wut...

It is still insane to me that the most popular bus routes in the city are forced sit with private vehicle traffic.

I know my bsky community is less interested in global stuff, but my friend and old colleague just released this book on Nepal's major political tide changes. Universally relevant to all technology mediated social movements though, consider giving it a read! www.amazon.com/dp/990500737...

SF Bay Area could totally double that per capita ridership there

I just love the feeling of being socially engineered in the dumbest of ways.

Again, let's just stop & remember that age-based legal restrictions on access to social media/online services are a bad idea & infringe the rights of young people to speak, access information and arts & culture, find community and play. Then look at the madness involved in trying to make them work.

We should demolish the fish market to add one more lane.

There's a term for this... Not in My something something. www.marinij.com/2026/09/27/s...

Just about sums up all my cringe and discomfort with AI safety evangelism.

As I've been hosting workshops on housing, a point I regularly bring up is desegregation was once a goal, but now its largely forgotten or ignored. Reactions to this have been surprising, but has reaffirmed my belief that desegregation has to be the goal again for housing advocates.

Absolutely scorching endorsement, bringing serious heat for Weiner and against Chan, but a blast furnace at Pelosi for her role in this race and her true reasons for it. Never read an editorial this heated in Chron www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/edit...

It's a beautiful thing to see people democratically decide never to allow anyone but themselves to democratically decide things.

It is legitimately insulting that we live in a time where democracy ACTUALLY IS under attack, but a bunch of neighborhood busybodies who hate housing think not having enough meetings is an assault on democracy. Get a grip missionlocal.org/2026/09/rich...

Squid Game should be way higher. Happy Chuseok, losers.

Happy Chuseok. Shout out to those who gorge on too much rice cake and regret it. Ive been there.

There is no "public transit" in capitalism. But replace public transit with anything you want to guarantee inaction. (I say this as a critic of capitalism)

If anyone asks me what animates me as YIMBY, it is to put a check on the outsized power these people have over our lives. Not because I get off on seeing construction. Just to clarify.

Use an algo and walk away. It's disturbing to see the DOGE mentality normalized and even seen as just inevitable in every facet of life. (Gift link) www.vox.com/good-medicin...

If you want a Sunday morning longread I wrote up a rough version of the talk I gave at LDX3 this week on the Manager's Path in the Age of AI skamille.medium.com/the-managers...

The reason not to triangulate against trans people isn't that it's bad politics (although I believe it is) or unnecessary (although I believe it is). It's because YOU MUST NOT ABANDON THE VULNERABLE TO DEPRAVED PEOPLE WHO WILL DO THEM HARM. If we will, what's the point of anything else we do?

eliminate EV subsidies, ban cheap overseas EVs, ban EV component import, deport people bringing battery technology to the US, pay billions to kill clean energy projects, end fuel economy standards, and then do THIS is such an elaborate prank on the American people you almost have to respect it

It's almost as if "techno optimism" only benefited a certain demographic of people this entire time.

Hasan Piker coverage will continue until morale improves.

This is great news. I for one support journalism's major shift to covering out-of-context sound bites extracted from hundreds of thousands of hours of jibberish streamed during games of Fortnite. Policy is for losers.

If only the "online left" saw capitalism as a question of attention as much as material production, they would realize that all their favorite people essentially have an industrialist monopoly on the means of attention and would be damned if they ever shared it in any meaningful way.

As I keep saying, professional influencers are petty bourgeois entrepreneurs who make their money by harvesting attention, and that position in the capitalist economy tends to lend itself to a certain kind of politics.

You know who'd back my refusal of solidarity with Palestine? My Irish artist friends! Right, lads? *Holds up hand for a high five*

Potential cuts to San Francisco’s public transit system would be significantly worse for the city’s economy than the effects of a proposed parcel tax to fund it, according to a new analysis from the controller's office. via @kellywaldron.bsky.social missionlocal.org/2026/09/san-...
