A mom watching her kid playing joyfully on a new playground and then saying she’ll vote to destroy it by reopening the highway to cars sounds like satire written by @thewaroncars.bsky.social

“Fuck my kid, this would make my once-a-week drive slightly faster”

Ryuka's mom, Denise Leo, 50, supports Prop. G because it would restore the road for weekend commutes. She drives Friday mornings for work as a library aide in San Mateo and wants the option of taking the Great Highway, rather than 19th Avenue.
The pathway above the highway always worked when she wanted to go for a run, anyway. Or, wait, does she oppose G?
Told that a "no" vote keeps the road closed to cars, she paused. In 2024, she pointed out, it was the "no" vote that kept the highway open.
"I'm gonna vote to open it," she said, looking at her son. "Even though he likes it."

So Trump "negotiated" a deal for Russian diesel. The first tanker carrying it will arrive in less than 24 hours. It has apparently been heading for the US since mid-September. I wonder how all those rolling-coal diesel bros will feel about running communist diesel in their freedom trucks.

@cjewel @ELS Was it from Elsevier? This kind of behaviour sounds very much on brand for them.

@spacelizard @petrillic Not to mention the cognitive damage this approach causes to the sloperators themselves.

I have recently had a glimpse of the other side of this. One of my other colleagues is highly dependant on Claude for everything, and has been working with a couple of contract programmers on creating some new telescope automation software for a couple of their projects. I got asked to help a […]

<David Attenborough voice> and here we see the endangered grey hedge muppet. While generally docile, this species has been known to attack when startled, and therefore it is advisable to make noise if one sees one, well in advance of coming upon its location […]
