@loomdoop San Francisco government has been centrist/neo-lib since the mid 70s.
The last left-ish mayor was Moscone. San Francisco has been flexible on social issues.
THIS GUY LIVES UNDER SFO'S TAKEOFF PATH SO HE BUILT A CEILING PROJECTOR THAT TRACKS EVERY PLANE FLYING OVER HIS HOUSE IN REAL TIME
he uses a cheap $30 radio receiver to pick up the signals that planes broadcast while flying.
then projects them onto his ceiling in real time
when a jet flies over his house you hear it outside and at the exact same moment a plane glides across his ceiling labeled with the airline, aircraft type, and destination
pure black background so the projector's rectangle disappears and only the aircraft are visible
but he didn't stop at planes
it also draws the real sky behind them. sun, moon, bright stars, constellations, and live satellites including the ISS. all at their true positions for his exact location and time in real time
so he's lying in bed watching the actual night sky projected onto his ceiling with real planes crossing through it as they take off from SFO
there is a huge market for every man alive that runs outside to see the helicopter
vibe coded the whole thing himself with a cheap radio, a projector, and some clever software
Vera Molnár in 1990: "…perhaps around '81, I said to myself, ‘Does the beauty of this drawing come from this magic square?’ I'm not so sure. So I tried to manipulate this using computers, only instead of following the order indicated by Dürer's magic square, I went at random."
From Molnar by LR Ways Productions, 1990.
@j_em_bee@RonChusid In the end D’s will happily go along with all of it and help them, will also shield everyone from accountability. No practical difference.
