Since we have a lot of new users and I have some new followers, I thought I’d share a few Bluesky tools (lists, feeds, starter packs) I built!

In the past 2 years a small group of insane people on X have doxxed my home address and sent me a glitter bomb, posted dozens of bizarre AI images of me, crudely speculated about my sex life, and tried to get my husband fired because they don’t like my posts about, uh, zoning reform.
vividly remember, in the Corbyn Hell Years, seeing people on Twitter quite actively bonding over their joint hatred of me - trying to outdo each other in their meanness - and I just don't think it's possible to explain how weird and unpleasant it is, especially as someone who's....no-one
People don’t really understand the nature of the problem. It’s not lots of little random ankle-biter tweets. That’s annoying but whatever. It’s when hating you becomes this communal pursuit that exists separately from yourself. Like there’s an entire group of people working together to target you.

Incredible but not surprising that Friends of Adeline would stand up for the principle that wealthy, exclusionary areas should never change (when Adeline itself was upzoned up to 8 stories just a few years ago)
are “the people” opposed to building housing on some of wealthiest shopping streets in America?
will it make “healthy black families” less healthy if some of the whitest parts of Berkeley are upzoned?
or is this just more NIMBY horseshoe stuff in Berkeley?

The space catapult (aka mass driver) is not the crazy part. Humans have built lots of complex things *when there's an economic reason to build them*. Datacenters on the Moon are not it. At least not until most of Canada is datacenters.

One of my black pill moments was that Biden actually focused on lifting the lowest quartiles up at the expense of the rich and the online left screamed at him about student loan forgiveness.
The vibecession was primarily driven by lower sentiment among the upper and middle classes, not the lower classes.

Beneath Berlin's Potsdamer Platz, an overlooked retail strip has been reborn as a bicycle parking facility and public passage connecting users to the S-Bahn station. Modest in scale but rich in possibilities, it integrates seamlessly into the revitalised entertainment, commercial and office centre.🧵

I saw this in Emeryville today, & wasn’t surprised. It’s very common to see signs, signals, trees, etc knocked down by dangerous drivers, in addition to the people they injure or kill on a daily basis.
Where is the “Car Accountability Act” to address these exponentially more severe concern?

I do think that the fact that the stars of the online “left” are all definitionally self-employed small-business owners is underdiscussed
Having the same class interest as a realtor and hating Democrats is a less interesting combination than many think!

In January I tried Claude Code out and it immediately turned a 4 hour job into a 15 minute job without any errors. Not a huge economic impact there, I just have more time to go hiking now. I don't buy claims of 20% GDP growth, but I also think a lot of people haven't adjusted to recent improvements.
