@BellaBaddie__ Uh… same thing Zuck and Co. did to Facebook?
I left FB back in the day for Instagram because it was a simple photo sharing site. It’s not that anymore.
@20th_Centurygal Mogwai playing Atomic live. Ear splitting, anxiety inducing experience. At least three people fainted, and this was before that was a common occurrence at concerts.
Wherever you hang out online, your algorithm is a mirror of your consciousness. It feeds you exactly what it thinks you want, whether you’re aware of it or not.
The algorithm isn’t the problem. Your scrolling habits are. Stop interacting with low-vibrational content.
My X feed right now is full of people from all over the world exchanging thoughts, ideas, and memes in their native languages thanks to @grok’s auto-translate feature.
And guess what? We’re all after the same thing: peace, love, and freedom from tyrannical systems of power, division and oppression.
Once the language barrier breaks, we realize the vast majority of this planet’s inhabitants have a shared humanity. It’s beautiful and fills me with hope and optimism for our shared future.

Welcome home Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy! 🫶
The Artemis II astronauts have splashed down at 8:07pm ET (0007 UTC April 11), bringing their historic 10-day mission around the Moon to an end.
Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back.
Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: https://t.co/rzM1P0QbOl
Those sacred substances open a door to a fast-tracked spiritual awakening that can never again be closed. It’s a profound (and sometimes bumpy) journey to merge with divine oneness, then reconstitute back into the meat suit. Welcome to the club! If you don’t already have a meditation / mindfulness practice, now’s a good time to add that to your stack.
In San Francisco, we are getting rid of the nonsense and focusing on common sense.
The first Executive Directive I signed as mayor created the PermitSF initiative, to make permitting fast, predictable, and transparent. In our first 100 days, we focused on making life easier for small businesses.
We made changes like no more permits for sidewalk tables and chairs, no more fees just to paint your name on your storefront, and no more trips to the Permit Center for candles on restaurant tables.
Now, at the 200-day milestone, we are expanding those reforms to make life easier for every San Franciscan.
This new package of PermitSF reforms will deliver changes like:
➡️ Ending the ban on parking in your own driveway.
➡️ Activating vacant and historic buildings by giving owners tools to restore and attract tenants.
➡️ Issue all permits for small restaurants over the counter.
➡️ Removing a requirement that all excavation permits include a parking plan.
➡️ Escalating stalled permit applications to senior staff after three rounds of revisions, so no project gets stuck in limbo.
➡️ Overhauling the city’s outdated permitting software with a modern, public-facing system to streamline the process.
Our permitting process has been death by a thousand cuts. With today’s changes, we are proving to San Franciscans that we are taking meaningful action, big or small. Because for so many of our residents, the little things matter.
Thank you to my co-sponsors—Board President @RafaelMandelman and Supervisors Myrna Melgar, Chyanne Chen, @bilalmahmood, @mattdorsey, and @JoelEngardio—as well as Elizabeth Watty for leading the multi-agency PermitSF initiative. And thank you to the staff at the Permit Center, who are helping San Franciscans get things done every day.
We are building a city government that works for everyone—and when government works, San Francisco wins.
