Future Colliders Comparative Evaluation -- Working Group Report
In anticipation of the completion of the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) programme by the end of 2041, CERN is preparing to launch a new major facility in the mid-2040s.

KPMG citing PitchBook data: UK fintech investment totaled almost $11B in 2025 across 418 deals, down from ~$13.4B in 2024 across 527 deals; Revolut raised $4B (Aisha S Gani/Bloomberg)

As one might expect El Cheato appointed judges rule in favor of trump far more often than do judges appointed by prior presidents.
But the amount of that imbalance is beyond astounding.
From the NY Times:
"Trump’s ‘Superstar’ Appellate Judges Have Voted 133 to 12 in His Favor"

We voted to fund it with 2020's Prop I, but for obscure reasons of state law, the use of the revenue wasn't legally binding, only intended. And then-Mayor Breed refused to do it. But we can fund it now!

Fund San Francisco's Social Housing Program with Prop I Property Transfer Tax Revenue, as Promised!
In 2020, San Francisco voters passed Prop I which levied a transfer tax on properties worth over $10 million dollars. The Board of Supervisors unanimously passed a resolution assuring voters it was their intention to spend the revenue from the new tax on a Social Housing Program.
