in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

Tech billionaires, AstroTurfing and a sophisticated information war explains the Bay Area's rightward drift, Dean Preston says

One of the most prominent progressives in the city, the former SF supervisor talks about how the left has lost the messaging game in recent years — but says he believes the tide is turning.

I think about this image a lot.

A four-grid series of windows that are views into the interiors of apartments in the modern style, from Jacques Tati's film Playtime. It is an indictment into how contemporary architecture ignores the way street life plays out in Paris.

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.
