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.

We create these political systems. It’s entirely up to us whether these systems benefit lower and middle class folks or the wealthy.
The economy is human made. It does what we tell it to do. It doesn’t need to be “left alone” for wealthy people to exploit at the expense of everyone else.

Framing political problems as capitalism vs socialism has already lost the debate by accepting the premise.
We live in a liberal democratic society. If people matter, they deserve health care, a living wage, leisure time, and access to higher education. Houselessness is a failure of democracy.

as a reporter, the part of this that i’ve simply never understood is how the next person to ask a question when he does something like this doesn’t simply repeat the question that set him off. it’s not just solidarity with your colleague, it’s an important question that remains worth asking
I’m not going to pretend it’s easy to say something in the moment when you witness the president do this and you’re aboard Air Force One with all the uniformed officers and secret service and fancy wood accents, but this is really an instance where you should. people.com/donald-trump...

Then a bunch of dickhead entrepreneurs will bright idea negotiation services, adding a layer between consumer and insurer and getting their own cut of the action. Consumer screwed doubly.
Cassidy: "The president is proposing that we take the $26b that would be going to insurance companies if we just do an extension and give it directly to the American people in which 100% of the money is used for them to purchase healthcare on their own terms. That makes them an informed consumer."

The tariffs have a much more profound effect on small business. They have less room to pivot and don't necessarily have the resources of large corporations that can find loopholes to avoid or delay paying.
“I look at running a successful business for 32 years, and then having an Administration gut punch the entire industry to where I might be put out of business.”
Watch Barry Barr of KAVU talk about how tariffs are hurting small businesses.

I feel like astrology was the gateway to AI and chatGPT. Like I learned to politely just be quiet as an otherwise intelligent friend was like, “Well, it *is* Virgo season!” and now you hear someone go, “I asked ChatGPT how to hammer a nail” and I’m like, I should have called you an idiot sooner.

I'm pretty sure KBFG plays Candlebox's Far Behind every night between 12 and 12:30. I should already be asleep by then so I can't actively listen. Is it the same show every night, or a DJ's favorite song?

I'm trying to use Bluesky to sell tickets to my comedy special taping. Don't make me promote on Twitter. I'd rather have an empty house. But it'd be so much nicer if it were full.
