@scott@carfree.cityI'm shocked, shocked, that waiving the transfer tax on downtown office to residential conversions did not result in a single such conversion happening.
Well, not that shocked. (The real point of March 2024 Prop C was the sneaky provision letting the SFBOS reduce the transfer tax altogether without an election. Not to produce housing but to cut downtown landlords' taxes.)

@davidaugust@mastodon.online“Google handed over a trove of personal data about a student and journalist to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in response to a subpoena that had not been approved by a judge…”
“…latest example of how the U.S. government is using a controversial type of legal request, called an administrative subpoena, to demand that tech companies turn over the private data of individuals who have been critical of the Trump administration.”
@cdarwin@c.imJoe Rogan, the influential podcast host, said on his show Tuesday that
the war in Iran was “crazy”
and had left Americans feeling “betrayed” by Trump,
describing the conflict as a sharp reversal from the policies that the president had campaigned on.
“It just seems so insane,”
said Mr. Rogan, who endorsed Trump in 2024 and said he still texted with him on occasion.
“He ran on no more wars:
End these stupid, senseless wars.

@cdarwin@c.imDemocrats watched with mouths agape this week as Latino voters,
many of whom have sat out previous primary seasons,
turned out in droves for James Talarico in Texas.
But the push to win back the elusive and swingy coalition that proved pivotal to Donald Trump’s 2024 victory goes way beyond the closely watched Lone Star State.
This is a story that kicked off last year as Democrats overperformed in Latino-dominant districts across Virginia and New Jersey.

A hydrothermal explosion at Black Diamond in July 2024 sent rocks and mud flying hundreds of feet high and damaged a boardwalk used by visitors, prompting the closure of the area
