Drive through worker new best friend mixed up our 2x4 order for a 4x2 and after correcting that we ended up with 2x6s. I guess this is my new go to order now.
A YIMBY member arguing against Prop 10, which simply unblocks rent control in the state, but doesn’t establish any, said “We give a voice to people who are not even here yet.” Repealing Costa Hawkins in favor of rent control, he argued, would help people already here at the expense of those to come.
He continued “…one time someone who was already here gave me hell me for calling it 'Frisco, so, like, fuck all of 'em, right?”
I’m sorry once you live here long enough you should know to say the correct name, “YIMBY Socialists”, not just “YIMBY.”
WTB Slack compatible emotes for all the traffic light protocol levels, will share if I end up making my own. I’m picturing bold Helvetica “TLP” net to a stoplight w/ the appropriate light blinking.
The streamers and passive cynics among us at A5 in Berkeley last weekend weirded me the heck out in an uncanny valley way.
I stayed close to one pair of dudes because they were clearly watching the rest of us as if we were non-player characters and I was on a security team. At one point when we were blocking traffic, and cars were honking their horns in solidarity with us, and lots of us raised our fists in support, one turned to the other, “look at them getting excited by car horns like that’s gonna do anything.”
It turns out there are lots of, maybe a majority of (yikes), people who are “lol sportsball” about solidarity.
