Let me see if I can summarize: The disabled Icelandic founder of a design agency acquired by Twitter in 2021 was ghosted by Musk's Twitter. After a public callout, Musk asked him to describe his work, then laughed at him as HR finally got in touch to say, "You're fired."

A reminder that Muni fare inspectors are not peace officers. They cannot detain you nor prevent you from leaving a Muni vehicle or station. You have no obligation to provide them with any personal details. They can only detain you if an SFPD or BART police officer is present.

Officials at SFMTA believe that nearly 21% of people who board Muni buses and trains aren’t paying a fare. Now they’re planning to double the number of fare inspectors to try to reverse the rise in fare evasion.

While City Hall patted itself on the back yesterday for a do-nothing resolution on the Middle East, another arson struck Bernal Heights. I'm disturbed that a resident had to call 911 FOUR TIMES to get a response, completely unacceptable. We need a D9 Supervisor focused on D9.

@GergelyOrosz They, especially Netflix, want a hardware ecosystem where all the players pay *them* to have a Netflix app on their hardware. That’s why Netflix dropped the AirPlay end-run for “quality” reasons. Giving it to Apple for free doesn’t support that business model.
