#SFMTA, #SFDPW: yes we need bike racks. We also need to locate them so they don't interfere with the ramps needed for wheelchair boarding (or, for that matter, in the path of embarking/disembarking passengers of all mobility levels)

We are at most a few years away from the mainstream media becoming controlled top to bottom, with a few very exceptions, by ultrarich conservatives and their hirelings.
CBS News is gone;
CNN seems about to follow.
The Los Angeles Times installed an AI-powered “bias meter” to warn readers against taking some of what they read in the paper’s columns at face value.
And all across the country, local news is on a ventilator;
the right-wing Sinclair network is taking…

The Washington Post Has Become Right-Wing Even Faster Than I Thought
It’s not going to happen. It’s happening: The mainstream media is becoming right-wing. What are wealthy liberals going to do about it?

I am curious about tree migration efforts to get ahead of climate change caused forest dieoffs.
I live towards the southern end of the California coast redwoods. As the climate warms the cool-foggy zone that these trees need will be moving north.
But for trees that take a thousand years to mature, they can't move their range northward at the needed rate.
(I hear that there is a similar issue with sugar maples.)
Anyway, I am wondering if there are planting/propaga…

The way all of these people convinced themselves that Mamdani is antisemitic is a subject far more worthy of media examination than any of the ‘groupthink on campuses!’ thinkpieces we’ve been subjected to

Am Ende ist das die Realität bei vielen Bürgerlichen. Wenn die Zeiten auf Fortschritt stehen spielen sie mit, aber insgeheim ist die rohe Bürgerlichkeit immer vorhanden.
Da verschiebt sich auch in den vermeintlich liberalen Zeitungen etwas sehr deutlich nach rechts.
"Insgesamt spüre ich bei den Interviewern einen "Eure Zeit ist abgelaufen, jetzt sind wir am Ruder"-Gestus, und ich finde ihn äußerst beunruhigend."

"However, if you scoff at the idea that one should have any ethical boundaries at all, and think that there’s no reason to care about the overall utilitarian impact of this technology, that it’s worth using no matter what else it does as long as it makes you 5% better at your job, that’s sociopath behavior."

Various thoughts on the Maduro case:
1. Did they read him his Miranda rights when they arrested him?
2. Does anyone remember the international law Head of State doctrine? That would seem to create immunity. (See URL below)
3. I notice that in photos the guards have DEA badges - which suggests that nobody has an actual indictment.
4. I see that the trumpies want to charge gun violations. Wouldn't it be amusing if he defeated that on 2nd Amendment grounds?

Not the first thought that comes to mind, but this is an #environmental problem, not just about skiing or a local economy:
"Ropes once used to mark out the piste hang in tatters and bits of plastic are falling off a pylon. The old sheds at each end of the ski lifts often still contain transformers, asbestos, motor oils and greases. Over time, these substances seep into the soil and…
