END OF DAYS EDITION: THIS TWO-STORY HUMMER IS BUILT FOR THE APOCALYPSE
This beast is three times taller and wider than a regular H1.
The tires alone are $25,000 each and look ready to drive through anything in their way.
Inside, it’s basically a mobile mansion with two full floors, a Kitchen, a bathroom, and even a lounge.
Finding roads to drive it on? Let’s just say you'd have better luck parking a tank at your local Starbucks.

Your 40s will destroy your happiness.
You'll work 60-hour weeks while your kids need money and your parents need care.
Ray Dalio calls this the "midlife squeeze" - and it breaks most people.
His leverage strategy that changes everything:
Small businesses and homeowners in San Francisco: permitting is about to get easier.
Today, we announced reforms and legislation that will make permitting faster, simpler, and more transparent.
These ordinances will cut red tape, save time and money, and finally make our permitting system work for the people it’s supposed to serve.
Here are some examples of what this means in practice:
➡️ No more permits for sidewalk tables and chairs—putting $2,500 back in the pockets of small businesses and saving them valuable time.
➡️ No more permits and fees to put your business name in your store window or paint it on your storefront.
➡️ No more trips to the Permit Center to have candles on your restaurant’s table.
➡️ No more rigid rules about what your security gate must look like so businesses have more options to secure their storefronts.
➡️ No more long waits or costly reviews for straightforward improvements to your home, like replacing a back deck.
➡️ And we’re getting rid of outdated rules to give downtown businesses more flexibility with how to use their ground-floor spaces—because if adding childcare centers and gyms will help bring companies and employees back downtown, we should support it.
In addition, every city department involved in permitting will track timelines and publish them online. We’re building one system—simple, accessible, and focused on the customer.
And we’re not done.
In the coming months, we’ll roll out a consolidated permit application and bring more of the process fully online.
When we make it easier to open a business, improve a home, or invest in our city—we don’t just support individual success. We fuel our city’s economic recovery.
We attract more customers, more residents, more small business owners—and with them, the revenue and energy that San Francisco needs to thrive.

The number of homeless tents are at the lowest levels on record. Every San Franciscan deserves clean, safe streets—and every person deserves a path to stability. We will be relentless until everyone is safe and feels safe. https://t.co/8eKVJgWiHq
Not a popular opinion but I have been very concerned about recreational use of any drug, intent is important and really hope labelling does at least occur as too many think it is natural so it is safe and abuse use to detrimental long term effects.
I think marijuana is the most insidious of drugs. It is legal in many states, is socially acceptable to many and is relatively easy for kids to hide, access and consume (vape, gummies etc).
But the science is beginning to tell a very ugly story.
We should have never legalized it. But now that it is, I hope we do something to mandate standard toxicity and concentration labeling at a minimum. This stuff is turning a plurality of our kids into zombies.

We are seeing a live case study underway in San Francisco.
Under Progressive leadership the jail population fell, crime surged, businesses shut, and people left.
Now we have Moderates back in charge. All trends are reversing!

Right now there are a lot of new eyes on Signal, and not all of them are familiar with secure messaging and its nuances. Which means there’s misinfo flying around that might drive people away from Signal and private communications.
One piece of misinfo we need to address is the claim that there are ‘vulnerabilities’ in Signal. This isn’t accurate. Reporting on a Pentagon advisory memo appears to be at the heart of the misunderstanding: https://t.co/QfWgOxHAzp. The memo used the term ‘vulnerability’ in relation to Signal—but it had nothing to do with Signal’s core tech. It was warning against phishing scams targeting Signal users.
Phishing isn’t new, and it’s not a flaw in our encryption or any of Signal’s underlying technology. Phishing attacks are a constant threat for popular apps and websites.
In order to help protect people from falling victim to sophisticated phishing attacks, Signal introduced new user flows and in-app warnings. This work has been completed for some time and is unrelated to any current events. If you’re interested in learning more, this WIRED article from February 19th (over a month ago) goes into more detail:

Signal is open source, so our code is regularly scrutinized in addition to regular formal audits. We also constantly monitor [email protected] for any new reports, and we act on them with quickness while also working to protect the people who rely on us from outside threats like phishing with warnings and safeguards.
This is why Signal remains the gold standard for private, secure communications.
