astonishing how whenever you go to the post office the queue in front of you is made up almost entirely of people who appear to have ended up at the post office by accident, have in fact never visited a post office before, and have no idea what they want out of the experience

Hi @GavinNewsom, just in case you were unaware, you can (and should) do this too!

@davalangator @ASFleischman My point is, if bystanders said that, that supports the prosecution's argument that he was applying the kind of force that would have killed even a non-fragile person

[Roan Kattouw (@[email protected]) @catrope]

@davalangator @ASFleischman That seems like a tough argument to make given that bystanders were telling him that he was killing him and should stop

@Davvvvve559379 @AsoetUesu @HitFactoryPod @RobertSecundus It talks about in-home daycares, most of those are one-person businesses where the owner also does all the work

Hi @GavinNewsom. This is what climate leadership looks like.

@HellaSanFran @SFMTA_Muni All of these are already car-free (JFK, that little stub of 7th Ave near Lincoln) or have separated bike/ped paths next to the road (Panhandle, Kezar). No changes to the status quo in the piece of the map you screenshotted here

@humantransit @SFMTA_Muni A citizens initiative tried to increase taxes on TNC and AV companies (not a tax per ride but a tax on the companies) and it passed, but a competing business tax overhaul measure got more votes and invalidated it

@sashaperigo @EskSF Wasn't he consistently polling in the 1-2% range though?

If you wanna know why California has a housing shortage you can observe all the local politicians having a five alarm meltdown at the idea of a building going up in an expensive urban beach neighborhood that has built virtually nothing for decades

@cafedujord Hey maybe now they'll be able to afford fixing the elevators in their buildings so people stop falling down the elevator shaft

@RoxyTall Most American fridges come with a built-in tap that dispenses cooled and filtered water!

@Mtclai @dominionvoting @SFElections Hmm it's true that provisional ballots look different from mail ballots because they're ballots from polling places, but you'd hope they'd be compatible? It wouldn't totally surprise me though

[Roan Kattouw (@[email protected]) @catrope]

@Mtclai This is only true for some provisional ballots, not all, right? Remakes should only be needed when someone cast a ballot in the wrong district, meaning it has a race on them that they're not allowed to vote in. Hopefully provisionals with the right ballot type don't get remade?

[Roan Kattouw (@[email protected]) @catrope]

@Mtclai This is incorrect, we had 4-card ballots this year

[Roan Kattouw (@[email protected]) @catrope]

@Mtclai @SFElections Note that people can mail ballots from anywhere in the United States! If you're out of town around election day, you can take your ballot with you, mail it from somewhere else, and as long as it's in the hands of a USPS employee *somewhere* by election day, it'll be postmarked

[Roan Kattouw (@[email protected]) @catrope]

@SFMTA_Muni @sfjason2525 Where do they ship it from, Antarctica? You can send a sheet of stickers in the regular mail from most other continents for less than $14, hell USPS Priority Mail with a tracking number is only like $8

[Rob Miles @robertskmiles]

I want to say again, as a person with a Computer Science degree who is generally hugely in favour of technical solutions to social problems:
No computer voting machine system that our civilisation can deploy is better than paper ballots

[Roan Kattouw (@[email protected]) @catrope]

@Liz57799642 @judyr4792 @ukiri2 @TheAnimalsKnow @RossKneeDeep Nope, vote counts are transmitted by taking out the memory cards and physically transporting those. They're also printed on paper for later audits.

are the "your body my choice" posts from Trump supporters a winning message? weird how liberals and only liberals have to tailor every utterance towards winning people over while conservatives get to just let it all hang out
