Really is a tough call. On one hand - every Nobel prize winning economist is adamantly stating that Harris has a significantly better economic plan But on the other hand - the dumbest people I’ve ever interacted with say Trump is a good businessman Quite the dilemma

hi, you should vote in sf local elections are won by a few hundred votes, which means you can swing the election sf has ridiculously fixable problems caused by a fringe group that we can vote out many of you recognize that sf is important, it’s important to you and what you work on, and it’s culture is nowhere else this is the city where the future is built. in any other city in the world, caring about climate change means posting on the internet. In SF it means building an electric stove. This is the only place in the world where people look at problems dead in the eye and then actually do something about it. The people of sf make life extension drugs, cryogenics, robots, powerful batteries, self-driving vehicles, pass the turing test, and read ancient scrolls. San Francisco is like the driver’s seat of the world. that culture only gets to exists in the context of good institutions. A small, fringe group has captured sf for years and driven it into the ground: they’ve blocked housing for years, driving up rent prices. They’ve effectively stopped enforcing laws, and let dealers poison and kill thousands of the poorest folks in the city. in this election we can genuinely fix it. Please vote! Save SF!

So basically Elon Musk is a traitor working with America's enemies, he's also the main funder and proponent of Donald Trump's campaign, and he controls a bunch of our communications and national security infrastructure. And is the richest guy on earth, to boot. Seems bad

My “For you” is like 80 percent right-wing propaganda. There isn’t an algorithm on the planet that would serve me that content unless someone had their finger on the scale.

SF Muni buses should have mounted cameras that bus drivers can use to auto-cite people driving in bus lanes and get a cut of the fines. win-win-win.

I'm happy to see @Waymo open-source our miles driven and crash data (with severity) compared to human benchmarks. AFAIK we're the only company that has done this. We also commit to regularly update this site. Of course, the numbers are impressive too! waymo.com/safety/impact/
