A freshly installed separated bike lane next to the memorial for a 2 year old killed by a driver at 4th and Channel St in San Francisco

Another view of the new bike lane and narrowed vehicle lanes, facing north.

DIRECT ACTION GETS THE GOODS: Turns out there WAS room for more safety improvements at 4th and Channel St, as the community-installed curb extension has been officially replaced with a separated bike lane. This is a start, but we need MORE here and across the city.

@lukebornheimer.com has I think

Probably a bad sign that my first reaction is that it’s wrong to eat this because you could have subbed in nuggets for one of the burgers

Join DSA SF and @jackiefielder.bsky.social at city hall Monday at 12 to rally for a Muni measure that grows service while protecting tenants!
The MuniForever proposal:
- expands service by 10%
- prohibits tax pass-throughs to rent-controlled tenants
- shifts tax burden onto corporations and mansions

Bottle of old bay hot sauce on table in restaurant

It was on the table at Grossman's Noshery in Santa Rosa a couple weeks ago

It's very satisfying to do that 😈

I biked up the north, always car-free side and wondered why I was the only person up there. Then I went down the south side and saw why.

Are the south gates to twin peaks usually closed these days? I love it 😍

SF Streamlined Its Street Teams. Now, Fewer People Are Getting the Help They Need Street medicine outreach workers describe a new, expensive, and disorganized program that lacks clear objectives.

For months I've heard crazy stories about SF's reorganized street medicine teams, which are now forced to focus on "the list" — a small number of homeless folks who've annoyed politicians or angry neighbors.

This means every day they have to drive past people in urgent need of medical care. 1/3

In the former official’s opinion, it was more likely that the vessel was carrying migrants on a human smuggling run. It would be impossible to know for sure, however, given that any evidence of drug smuggling was destroyed in the attack.

You know that boat the administration blew up? A former law enforcement official told the NYT the boat seemed to be carrying not drugs but *’migrants *

That's quite the detour

@printtemps.bsky.social did it this summer

2 children are dead, 17 people injured in Minneapolis school shooting Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara said the shooter fired through the windows of Annunciation Catholic Church during Mass on Wednesday. The gunman was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The Current | Great Music Lives Here The Current, from Minnesota Public Radio, Great Music Lives Here

I'm really into this Minneapolis radio station after visiting this summer www.thecurrent.org

I can't believe you've never been to McLaren Park!

They directed a visiting Australian on butterlap to ask me about these things specifically

Found out this week that my areas of SF expertise are dispensaries and POPOS according to my friends 😂

a snippet of a mini-comic, at top - straight line stretches from point A to B. Immediately below, same dot at A, then becomes a curving, meandering line that winds through the page and ends at a point with rays and a question mark emanating from it. Text reads: "Nothing can do this for you - that robs you of experience and conflates answers with learning. Rather, it's all the decisions you make along the way, the mistakes, struggles, and surprises! These pathways you create - this is learning.

My drawn statement on Ai as standalone from my now finished minicomic as syllabus for new liberal studies class!

I made a programmable @caltrain.com bike tag using an e-ink display. It does not need a battery, drawing just enough power from the NFC antenna to refresh the display, and then requiring no power to maintain the screen afterwards. It’s perfect for occasional trips.

@senditjerry.bsky.social told me weed dulls your dreams. I didn't smoke yesterday, went to bed at 10, dreamt I was biking along a pier, fell into the water and kept sinking & sinking, woke up at 10:30 gasping for breath. I'm going back to being a pothead 🌬️

Three ideas to save S.F. Muni that have nothing to do with cutting service OPINION: San Franciscans should ask themselves why bus and train service are on the chopping block even as we continue to subsidize the most polluting mode of transit.

“We cannot keep asking transit riders to pay more and get less while car owners enjoy vast subsidies and free rein over public space. Congestion pricing, expanded meter hours and reformed parking policy are not radical ideas”

Totally. SFMTA is considering doing traffic diversion and is currently doing traffic analysis. You can see the wires along Sanchez and Steiner.

Bicycle route the Wiggle with no bike lane and a block of bumper to bumper car traffic

San Francisco's main bike route, the Wiggle, during afternoon commute hour 🤮

The Muni Monthly Pass now costs $1020 annually. A Residential Parking Pass (RPP) costs $190. Why is it 5 times cheaper to store an entire car curbside than to ride Muni?

Parking is free in most of SF most of the time and charging for it would raise more money for SFMTA than fares ever could
