Waymo privatized another public street:
Chanel approaching 4th, San Francisco
Possibly queued for a Billie Eilish show at Chase Center ~half mile away.
The light rail train on 4th seen passing in front of this roboherd has more passenger capacity than all of them combined.

Larry Summers tells @theharvardcrimson.bsky.social
he’s stepping back from all public commitments in light of his messages with Epstein, saying he is “deeply ashamed” and hopes “to rebuild trust and repair relationships.”
He will continue teaching.

The craziest fucking thing to me about the Epstein emails is that apparently an English professor friend of his (and wife to former president of Harvard) made a book recommendation to him. And the book was goddamn Lolita.

Got turned down on a piece about ICE in Chicago for an international news org because they believed I couldn’t be objective about my neighbors getting kidnapped. And well, guilty as charged I guess.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

I've never been to NY, but am I wrong in thinking it's weird for the US president, a Republican from NYC, to endorse the Indy/former dem candidate for NYC Mayor when his own party has a candidate?
Also, fuck Schumer.

I had thought most of my naive idealism had been stomped out of me by now, but it’s amazing to me that this level of public animosity could be directed by Democratic leadership toward a sweet and personable young candidate of their own party seemingly exclusively because of his background.
Q: It's election day in NYC. Did you vote for Mamdani or Cuomo?
Schumer: "Look, I voted, and I look forward to working with the next mayor to help NYC."

I actually think Schumer and Jeffries will probably both endorse Mamdani next weekend so the force of their endorsements has the biggest possible effect because that’s what Schumer always does

If Democrats brush off a Nazi tattoo as an innocent mistake, they're abandoning the ability to make effective arguments against Nazis across the aisle. It'd be an unforced error that would taint the party for generations, and rightly so.

That a "journalist" is using the unjust, politically motivated prosecution of a Palestinian American woman who has been repeatedly PHYSICALLY attacked by ICE goons as some kind of a "gotcha" is beneath contempt. Palmeri should be absolutely ashamed of herself.
