This probably isn’t the first coyote to make it to Alcatraz, but there’s probably good reasons why a pack hasn’t established itself there, e.g. The island may be too small to support a pack, as the article implies.

So a Chinese EV imported into the US via Canada would have a 6.1% + 25% = 31% total tariff?

That’s not too bad…

Imported cars into the US from Japan and the EU are tariffed at 15%, so given lower initial costs, Chinese-via-Canada cars should be competitive.

In a sense it’s refreshing to see that former Mayor Breed wasn’t in a hurry to sell her political connections to the highest bidder after she left office, but come on girl, you need to keep those influence muscles in shape…

I’d imagine that the television license fee that the BBC is traditionally funded by has been on the decline for the last decade, hence the new-ish rush to market the Beeb’s content on Big Streaming, like Dr Who on Disney+

The money will never reach the agencies, but will instead be used to erect golden statues of Trump on top of the smoldering ruins of our cities.

Newbie Supervisor Wong failed the low bar of getting 4 supervisors to sign the proposal to get the measure on the June ballot.

Enh he thinks veterans are suckers and losers anyway.

Those “overpriced” products in your local stores?

You’re supporting your neighbors.

There’s also the cost to you of shipping, even if it’s hidden inside the payment for your Amazon Prime membership.

Although these days with the dominance of chain stores, some percentage is shipped out of the community.

Also, shopping locally reduces single use plastic shipping package pollution.

I haven’t shopped on Amazon for over a decade, and only buy something online if I truly can’t find it locally.

And then I prefer buying from the company’s own website, then eBay, then AliExpress, before I’ll even think of one click inside Amazon.

(Sausalito Vice Mayor Melissa Blaustein said) "The problem we’re really dealing with here is that these systems were designed in World War II,” she said. “The way our flood levels have changed, the way our sea levels have changed, just the way the general infrastructure has aged, they’re not sufficient for the times we’re living in.”

Either protect what they have, or the people and businesses have to become climate refugees.

I ate the Onion on this one…

From a different article:

The Trevor Project operates a 24-hour hotline and digital crisis services for LGBTQ+ young people, reaching about 250,000 individuals annually.

Until last summer, it also staffed a specialized option within the 988 National Suicide & Crisis Lifeline tailored for LGBTQ+ callers.

That program ended in July after the Trump administration halted targeted federal funding, costing the organization about $25 million.

Is Pastis having health problems?

A lot of Adams’ conservative activities were summarized in the Variety article, which is why I chose to post a link to it, as opposed to other articles.

Please vote Yes on the transit tax initiative in November!

I’m the Red guy when I’m trying to introduce my friends to the latest great anime show.

It was an influential and popular comic back in the day when it broke out.

Scott Adams tarnished his legacy when he went off the deep end into conservatism, and it remains to be seen whether the comic will become even more dated than it already is, but it did capture something relevant to a lot of people back then.

What took you so fucking long?

Unfortunately this looks like a cynical move, and leaves doubt on how you’d actually vote on the Gaza genocide.

This is really good!

The production values are better than expected for a comedy, and I honestly cried at the touching parts.

Prediction: While the Demon Lord’s power and violence won him a kingdom, it’ll be his daughter Doux’s kindness that keeps it together.

The permitting bureaucracy nightmares in SF are well documented.

The Chronicle has a whole series of articles on the topic.

For example, the now-opened new Bob’s Donuts location on Polk https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/bobs-donuts-sink-permit-20175685.php https://archive.is/NvBjF

Not listed in the series, but this guy lost $200K trying to open an ice cream store… https://www.sfchronicle.com/local/heatherknight/article/s-f-ice-cream-shop-hopeful-sees-dreams-melted-by-16116082.php https://archive.is/PPpHt

It made (prospective store opener Jason Yu) particularly angry that his cousin was able to open a nail salon in Daly City in just a fraction of the time he spent on Matcha n’ More. She’s painting nails after a few months of effort, but he never did scoop any ice cream.

Absolutely devastating news. The team defends much better with Bradley than without, and we’re shite at defending already.

I also think Palace’s price on an early Guehi transfer just went up.
