This morning on KQED they were talking about a Ruth Asawa exhibition that’s running through September 2nd

And how deeply involved she was in developing SF’s arts education, including SCRAP

Separately from the housing construction exemptions:

The new (changes to CEQA) exempts nine types of projects from environmental reviews: child care centers, health clinics, food banks, farmworker housing, broadband, wildfire prevention, water infrastructure, public parks or trails and, notably, advanced manufacturing.

An oddly specific list, that…

Particularly, the definition of “advanced manufacturing” seems to be exploitable.

According to the new law’s definition of “advanced manufacturing” https://law.justia.com/codes/california/code-prc/division-16/chapter-1/article-1/section-26003/

Taking the inclusion of “additive manufacturing” for example… Asbestos is arguably an additive, so are BPAs, and so forth…

“Additive manufacturing,” according to a quick Google, actually means 3D printing, but the letter of the law…

There’s some crazy statistics behind the passage of these “anti drink spiking” measures.

According to: https://calmatters.org/politics/2024/07/california-drink-spikinglaw-bars/

A survey published in 2016 in the American Psychological Association’s journal “Psychology of Violence” found that 8% of 6,064 students surveyed at three universities believed they’d been slipped drugs. Eighteen percent of more than 45,000 respondents in a 2022 global survey from a London-based research firm reported that they had been drugged. The same survey noted that 92% of the victims didn’t report their suspicions to police.

Historic, because Berkeley started the whole single family zoning thing in 1916 https://www.berkeleyside.org/2021/02/17/berkeley-may-get-rid-of-single-family-zoning-as-a-way-to-correct-the-arc-of-its-ugly-housing-history

That’s raw!

What are you talking about? I don’t see anything right wing in there.

Quite the usual mainstream California liberal stories like https://lookout.co/five-years-after-george-floyds-death-new-photo-exhibit-explores-evolution-of-santa-cruzs-black-lives-matter-movement/story

And a letter to the editor https://lookout.co/we-must-resist-courthouse-arrests-and-create-sanctuary-spaces/story

And pretty good local coverage as far as I can tell.

You don’t need the clipboard.

Go into FB’s app, create a post, add photo, select Photos from the various options of where to get photos from.

A screenshot will be in the Album called Screenshots, so inside the Photos app, navigate to Albums, find the Screenshots album, and your screenshot should be in there for you to select and attach to the FB post.

Then ideally you should delete your Facebook account and uninstall the parasitic app.

Too bad, the main political proponent of this light rail line has died.

Santa Cruz could have had this:

Deserts have ecologies themselves…

We can’t build shit in America…

So I finally managed to track an Outbaking rugelach down, and it’s pretty tasty!

Pretty much ideal to go with a coffee.

I hate my Samsung S25.

The hardware is lightning fast, but this OneUi garbage fucks up multiple apps, even Voyager that I am using to type this right now.

They especially seem to fuck over the Fossify open source apps.

The redundant Samsung apps (Phone, Messenger, Calendar, Photos, App Store, et al) are garbage clones of the vanilla Google Android apps.

I never had this many problems with my Motorola, which did use vanilla Google Apps

Regardless of climate and health costs.

Sounds like fossil fuel companies alright…

I had hoped that the humans of the 25th Century Federation had evolved or developed educational, political , and other social systems to where bigotry wasn’t a large problem anymore.

Kind of like getting rid of money.

Otherwise, there will always be a dark undercurrent of prejudice and hatred in all human dealings, and maybe the Romulans, Klingons, and other antagonistic spacefaring civilizations are justified in not wanting to deal with a human-led Federation.

3000 per day over 3 days.

But yeah, new org, new venue.

Thrifty ice cream counters were kind of hard to find in CVS’es already…

You can find Outbaking rugelach in the near Easy Bay and San Francisco at select locations. https://www.outbaking.com/find-rugelach-near-me

P.s. I’m not affiliated with Outbaking.

Oh shit! 😭

That’s an interesting idea…

Congress has passed laws mandating that the money be spent on certain things.

Federal Administration refuses to spend the money that’s allocated, so the State Administration withholds that amount from the Federal taxes collected, and steps in to spend the moneyon those certain things instead, bypassing the middleman.

But of course our Federal taxes are paid directly to the Federal IRS, so there would be problems with that.

Yeah, it hasn’t happened after 2022, so it’ll be great to have them again!
