San Francisco will do anything to get people downtown except let them live there

Going through some old pics, delighted to rediscover this tremendous display of wit.

Earthquake!

🧵 ALERT: In 30 minutes we'll join the @sfmta.com board meeting to hear about the new citywide bike plan and streets upgrade 🚲 Here's the agenda www.sfmta.com/media/41813/...

The mass firing of federal tech workers at 18F is one of DOGE's most extreme political acts yet The federal digital services team 18F had a diverse workforce and openly inclusive policies. That's why DOGE killed it.

The mass firing of the federal tech workers at 18F is already being subsumed by fresh hells. But it's important that we take a beat to understand what just happened—that elimination of 18F is one of DOGE's most extreme political acts yet.

i'm on bluesky for the scientific community

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people:
18f.org

This is tragic. Anyone who was familiar with 18F knows those were some of the real heroes of government, who helped make government tech/digital services better for the public.

They were doing real work that DOGE pretends to do, but is too ignorant to know how to do.

🧵 ALERT: Sorry for the late notice - we're about to join the SF Board of Supervisors meeting to hear about the mayor's attempt to oust a police commissioner, a proposal to lower fees on projects that convert downtown offices into housing, and more. Join us!

Photos: The Tenderloin, according to those who live there Photos and short interviews with Tenderloin residents who discuss living in a place that many identify with the fentanyl crisis.

Photographer Gustavo Hernandez has been walking the Tenderloin taking portraits of people who live there.

Some move there because they love it. Others do so because they don't have a whole lot of other options.

Everyone, though, has something to say about it.

Thankful for ai-generated alt-text, always does a better job than I could ever do and takes seconds. Wish this was just a built-in feature.

This image showcases an elegant installation piece in a minimalist gallery space. A lightweight, translucent purple fabric is suspended mid-air, stretched tautly between two points, creating an undulating, wave-like form. A fan on the floor is directed at the fabric, likely causing it to gently ripple and move. The wooden floor and plain beige walls provide a neutral backdrop, emphasizing the ethereal quality of the floating fabric. The setup is cordoned off with white stanchions, inviting viewers to observe but not interact directly. Taken at SFMOMA.

This image features an abstract and vibrant scene with a high-contrast color palette. The composition includes large, floating circles in bold red, yellow, and blue tones, interspersed with mirrored and distorted reflections. These shapes dominate the space and seem to float above a crowded setting where people are walking and interacting. The negative effect of the image gives it a surreal, dreamlike quality.

This black-and-white image features a large and brightly back-lit lobby with a staircase in the foreground. The lobby is mostly empty except for the head of a single person standing at the bottom of the stairs. The components of the image are sharply contrasted, with some areas in deep shadow and other surfaces reflecting the intense light. Taken at SFMOMA.

This image depicts a minimalist light art installation featuring colorful fluorescent light tubes arranged horizontally on a vertical grid. The tubes emit vibrant red, yellow, blue, and green hues that illuminate the surrounding area, creating a warm and dynamic glow on the plain walls and wooden floor. The installation sits in the corner of a clean, contemporary space. Taken an SF MOMA.
