I’m sorry, almost 1 in 10 U.S. journalists work at the NYTimes? Not because of its size, but because so many other newspapers have died? That is…wild. www.niemanlab.org/2024/12/the-...

A gallery person told me I should paint things SF art buyers want in their house. So I asked myself what does someone who drives a Tesla with a HARRIS/WALZ sticker want? I think I nailed it. This is _Political Painting for a Centrist to Hang_, 18x24. Wax and razor blades. #artadventcalendar

Just a little reminder that the South Korean president who just declared martial law was elected two years ago on a wave of anti-feminist backlash. Misogyny is routinely part of the authoritarian package. www.bbc.com/news/world-a...

Really @sfstandard.com? Was the family killed by a car while waiting for a bus to blame? Why not cover the things that actually cause pedestrian deaths: massively huge SUVs that eliminate pedestrian visibility, poor road design, complete lack of traffic enforcement. sfstandard.com/2024/11/28/r...

“We don't right now have any information about who put them up. We do know that they're very professionally designed signs. They're very large. They're very well done. So someone went to a lot of trouble to put these large signs up.”

As a climate person, I'm highly skeptical of AI, and shudder when I hear tech execs say it will "solve" climate change as a justification to invest in it. Here are my recent thoughts from Tik Tok, feat. a shoutout to @jtemple.bsky.social and his recent piece in @technologyreview.com. (2 part video)

Important research on NIMBYism. The most disheartening finding is that "commission votes are correlated with commenters’ preferences".
