Ehhh... He was my assembly member, and the ties to the Duong family (aka the bribery scandal that brought down Oakland Mayor Thao) and the way they pushed out more progressive candidates for his wife to replace him in the Assembly, were meh.

Saw a small group playing hackysack in the BART station on Saturday. Why in an underground train station outside the paid area? Not my business.

He literally wrote One Billion Americans. And we're certainly not getting anywhere close without a LOT of immigration. What a hypocritical, swaying with the breeze, bandwagon-y shanda

The ironic thing is that the top two primaries have reliably resulted in the more centrist/conservative Dem getting elected. Schiff juiced the Republican so he would not have to square off against Porter, I think Newsom did something similar, and Feinstein beat out (the problematic) de Leon

I was at Rutgers before the recession, when we had to cut some classes and specialty sports (like fencing) to build a new football stadium. Rutgers just missed a chance at a bowl game. Such a ridiculous investment.

I work in East Oakland, and the way some of my coworkers talk about downtown, just because of the perceived racial makeup (which has been changed markedly by gentrification)....

I went to the MS office home page on a new work computer and it's mainly copilot, and you need to look for all the other apps. So now more clicks and searching the page to get to what I need.

When I was 21, a man followed me out of a parking garage. When we stopped waiting to cross the street, he asked my age. His response? 'you looked 17' and walked back to the parking garage.

Even before I became vegetarian, I hated poultry, because it's dry and not great as a meat.

They do teach a lot of math in preschool now (thanks common core!), but being able to be in a class social-emotionally is super important for literally the rest of your life.

People tack on a lot to the SF School Board recalls in 2021, but the instigating factor was the change from testing to lottery admissions to the elite public high school in SF.

It's definitely a question of judgment. Nearly 20 or even just weeks of ignoring the Nazi symbol on your chest is not procrastination, that is poor judgement. Platner just might not have the judgment to be a senator!
