Looks like we won't hear anything about Hopkins law suit until Feb 2027 at the earliest.

It’s a beautiful day to Vote Early in California! ✅ Yes on 40 to support health ❤️‍🩹 ✅ Yes on Alameda County RTM 🚊 ✅ Yes on Berkeley AA 🥗 ❌ No on 41 & 42 that would block wealth taxes 💰

How do you get on the internet and say that government salaries are outrageous when you just spent $3 million on you 7-bedroom house?

These guys cannot stop telling on themselves. Latest one says their taxes went up 12% ... they live in a 7800-square-foot house.

Every individual complaining about their tax bills on Berkeley Nextdoor is living in a home over 3000 square feet.

There is a candidate for local office in Berkeley who refuses to disclose their campaign expenses. And they've changed treasurer three times, currently to a treasurer with no address, phone, or email. @estupido.fyi rate this campaign 1-10

Hey my town has an Oxford Street. Let's go.

I assume the Lula victory party, Berkeley chapter, is in the street in front of Shellenberger's house.

I have made a spectacularly good veggie fried rice. That is all. Carry on.

Good times supporting @rossforberkeley.bsky.social!

Development and transportation policy in Berkeley has been largely dictated for the last 55 years by people who inherited their homes and have never had real jobs. Incredibly they are still one side of the 2026 local election campaign. If you have a job and pay rent, vote accordingly.

The fact that the community access cable station in Berkeley has a seven-figure budget, and that is funded by line items on cable TV bills, is the most Boomer-coded thing I have stumbled across recently.

Either general artificial intelligence is upon us, or the frontier model I pay $200/mo to use writes syntactically invalid python programs every single time. Literally 1000s of times in a row.

This late Richmond train would be A LOT less problematic if it had ten cars, not five. Every rush hour train needs ten cars. You can't plan for every car to be crush loaded because any little problem becomes a big problem.

Quick update on whether you can blame Ralph Nader for literally everything. I had forgotten about this.

Scientists: you can hire illustrators for next to no money.

Celebrity bicyclist and El Cerrito council candidate is glad-handing on my BART car. Elect bicyclists everywhere.

This election season has made more sorely miss the days when I was the god-king of gmail spam ops.

a good soup makes you feel like everything's right in the world. to be clear though, it's not. the soup lies.

Pretty bummed lately. Can't explain. The eternal struggle is demoralizing even if you get some little victories here and there.

Xavier Becerra proof of life.

Ordered coffee at a not-coffee place that had an espresso machine. Guy put the shot on, turned around and forgot about it. 5+ minutes later, close to a pint of espresso-like effluent in the pitcher. He just finds a bigger cup into which to pour it 😂

Lmfao Dems +9 on transgender issues after hundreds of millions of dollars in attack ads. Get absolutely rolled x.com/PollTracker2...

Every time I learn about a Mills Act tax exemption in Berkeley I become incandescent with civic rage. $37k per year subsidy to this 7,700-square-foot mansion that occupies 4 parcels.

This invitation was created by scientists to maximize my distaste.

You guys ever consider stealing the Prius the doordash guy leaves double-parked and running? Just for like a block or two. No jury will convict, surely.

Who will stop the "Berkeley Tenants Union" from defacing public property? @alfredtwu.com you are reportedly a member of this organization's steering committee. Why do you deface and vandalize parks every election year? I try to be allied by EVERY year it's "haha F U we are jerks" from BTU.

I voted against Prop 45 but I still want legislative CEQA reforms. I am still mad about the 420MW solar power plant that got downsized to 130MW after being sued by the Sierra Club on behalf of a lot of rich San Francisco people with vacation retreats and hobby ranches. CEQA was the problem here.
