When walking across the Golden Gate Bridge, I came across the term “Redwood Empire” on one of the plaques. I’d never heard it before, and it was shockingly hard to find reputable info on it. So figured I’d post a history I found on it here! https://www.marinhistory.org/blog/post-37/

yes, I fly my helicopter to the store 1 mile away to buy bread. but it's fine because my green investments in solar power for other people to use will make my helicopter trips net zero by 2045.

“Asking an AI chatbot a question consumes a great deal more energy than finding the answer via simple web search or calculator. It adds extra demand for no good reason... a bit like driving to the shops in an SUV instead of riding your bike.”

The SF Chronicle's senior meteorologist says your phone weather app is wrong and underestimating how hot it's gonna be in the city the next couple of days (high 80s, possibly 90 in parts). https://www.sfchronicle.com/weather-forecast/article/heat-google-apple-apps-22075792.php

Here in SF, @SafeStreetRebel installed a mini road diet at the 4th St/Channel intersection in Mission Bay where a driver killed a 2-year-old last month.

They also tallied all the City's proposed changes in response to 138 fatalities in the past 5 years, and it's revealing. 33% of fatal crashes led to NO proposed changes. 71% either proposed no change, repainting existing road markings, or just doing changes already required by state law.

I have not had a meaningful conversation out loud with another person in over a week and I did not realize how much I needed this

I definitely feel like ambient "urbanist" content really downplayed my general feeling that I am going to get run over by an adorable tiny truck while walking on an entirely paint protected sidewalk about a foot wide that someone has parked their car in
