Graph of the drought area in California. 2005-6 is one of the few periods of no drought at all. In 2015-2016 almost all of the state was in a drought with 60% in an exceptional drought.

Fun fact: in #Polish, all cardinal directions have the same names as times of day. East is "wschód" which means "rise" (as in sunrise, "wschód słońca"), west is "zachód" — "set" (as in sunset, "zachód słońca"). North is "północ", lit. "midnight", and south is "południe", lit. "midday".
Apparently, the #English etymology is not so clear. "West" and "east" seem to unrecognizably stem from the words for evening and dawn. "South" seem to be related to "sun", whereas "north" to "to the left of the rising sun".

It does signal priorities the supervisors may go on to weigh at budget time, when evaluating mayoral appointees that need confirmation, or negotiating with Lurie about legislation he wants passed. But it may be a weak signal because supes who signed onto this did so knowing it was nonbinding.

street art spotted on Valencia

a drawing pasted to a panel on the sidewalk. A hand holding a can opener sticks out the top of a small food can with eyes. It says, the revolution will not be in your feed. Seize the tools of liberation so that we might cast off the yoke of our oppression

TIL Baltimore has been drastically decreasing homicides for the past several years through non-police interventions focused on conflict mediation and treating "root causes of gun violence, such as poverty, mental health, and housing issues"

a soup bowl with slivered vegetables in a creamy yellow broth, and two cylindrical crispy tacos in a metal pan topped with bean paste, cabbage, avocado slices and dollops of red hot sauce

Headway management is a net good, but it's no fun being on the bus that's being slowed down to maintain headway. You've got places to be and that bus is draaaagging, missing every light on purpose.

Headway Service Management:

Perfect Headway: Three buses evenly spaced.
Bunched: Two buses right next to each other.
Gapped: Behind the two bunched buses, a third bus twice as far back as in the "Perfect Headway" case
Over 70% of the Muni network now operates on this headway model. Routes are significantly more reliable with even spacing.

By the numbers May 2025
Systemwide headway adherence: 86%
Metro/Rapid routes: 89%
Others: 84%

37 routes had 90% adherence or better
5 had adherence below 80%.

Top 5 routes by headway performance:
1. 38R Geary Rapid (93%)
2. L Taraval (91%)
3. 14R Mission Rapid (90%)
4. N Judah (89%)
5. 1 California (89%)

Bad year for bicycling at the California State Capitol. Caltrans quick-build bill died, among others.

SF folks: please call your supervisor and ask them not to redirect permanent affordable housing funds to temporary shelter
it’s likely illegal and it’s nonsense: the shelters would free up if people could exit to permanent housing!

yimbys keep calling it misinformation that #SB79 allows demolition of rent-controlled duplexes and telling others to read the bill. it's right here, plain as day!

(h) A development proposed pursuant to this section shall not be located on either of the following:
(1) A site containing more than two units where the development would require the demolition of housing that is subject to any form of rent or price control through a public entity’s valid exercise of its police power that has been occupied by tenants within the past seven years.

this potential — for AI companies to tweak their chatbots to give pro-Trump answers to appease MAGA — is one of the reasons I'm avoiding LLMs as a political practice. they are inherently extremely centralized, requiring massive resources to crawl data and train. to become dependent on such products is to subject ourselves to the owners' power. this is just one of the ways that can go disastrously wrong
