When an article says "some scientists think" then remember this: I, a scientist, once thought I could fit a whole orange in my mouth. I could, it turns out, get it in there, but I hadn't given sufficient thought to the reverse operation.

Hey so I once saw the Locust do an acoustic set, just thought I'd get that on the record in case someone's working on my eulogy.

I perversely appreciate how the Inky's editorial board is some Yass-ventriloquized nonsense EXCEPT when it comes time to dunk on the NYT.

And that, in turn, makes the streets significantly more dangerous--from people not knowing how to comply with whatever stupid whim struck the mayor this week, from unhoused folks dying by exposure and cops, and from the stakes of being disturbed rising precipitously.

Yes, there is a wretched endgame, which is Wheeler and Trump's concentration camps. (And yes, there have been bills floated in the CA legislature trying to establish camps in the Mojave, because I guess Manzanar is a fun tourist attraction.) But largely, this will empower Loud Noises as governance.

This incentivizes the inept Mandelman/Breed supervillian-screaming-"Do-ANYTHING!"-at-your-lackeys approach to housing policy. Fine them, that will get them off the streets! Jail them, they'll definitely have a home when they get out! Ooh, what if we tried performative, ineffectual cruelty?

The homeless are under attack in America. The Supreme Court doesn't protect their right to camp on the street anymore. California is legally sweeping them & involuntarily institutionalizing them under Proposition one. Most mayors in America attack their encampments. @remorahousedc.bsky.social

Trust you on this guy's track record, but even so, this baffles me. Even if you need an anti-abortion bobblehead to head up the health department, couldn't you just... appoint an anti-abortion bobblehead to head up the health department and not have "co-leaders" or whatever is going on over there?

I very dimly remember Wikileaks tweeting out some edgelord-y antisemitic shit from their main account, and at that point completely ceasing to hand-wring about Assange in particular, even if the idea of persecuting document repositories was upsetting.

The determination of Breed, Dorsey, Humphreys, etc. to address SUD/MI/poverty as a zero-sum game means there's no chance at all this housing will be operated without cruelty and obsessive control. (Also, the wraparounds will almost certainly be funded by cutting them for those in general housing.)

Sober housing that allows relapse is by definition not sober housing. The entire institution of it is driven by authority, surveillance, and punishment. This would be merely disruptive if the consequence of relapse was being moved to general housing, but the consequence here is eviction.

Sober housing, for some, has additional benefits over "general population" housing. But as long as there's no intention to house everyone, creating differentiated sober and non-sober supportive housing largely serves as an extra instrument of punishment.

This recent WHO report doesn’t hold back. It states in plain language that corporate practices are leading to millions of preventable deaths each year—in Europe alone. From strategic lobbying to weaken regulations to the subversion of science, there are many normally quiet parts spoken out loud.

I used "commercial determinants" in a conference presentation and multiple people came up to me to say they'd never heard the term before. Sure seems like the idea that many corporations are working from the same playbook to similar impact is one whose time has come.

Much respect to the gentleman at the tennis court in Tiburon, CA, who arrived in a cybertruck with a matte gunmetal finish. You are one of the few who doesn't look like you're driving around in an HVAC unit from 1993. Instead you look like you're driving around in an HVAC unit from 2016.

Sadly I'm traveling so I can't post my 2003 Matt For Mayor shirt, from when Matt Gonzalez as a Green came close to edging out Gavin Newsom. It's a raglan sleeve baseball tee with a very mid-aughts circus font and now I'm wondering what SF's first Hipster Dork Administration would've looked like.
