If anyone knows of a good tenancy lawyer in SF, please let me know. My colleague is a Stanford researcher and disabled. He want to bypass the Rent Board and is ready to take legal action. (And he's a great guy who does not need this grief, esp given the expense of this apartment in Mission Rock.)

Bowen Yang is a national treasure.

Our son is taking part in a social experiment.

He has to wear a tory 2024 t-shirt for 2 weeks and see how people react. So far he's been spat on, punched, had a bottle thrown at him and hit on the head with a shoe.

I'm curious to see what happens when he goes outside.

I miss written tutorials. I hate how every tutorial is a YouTube now.

Really worth the read.

Happy birthday, @kfury!

Tomorrow is the 10 year anniversary of the shutdown of Google Reader. It comes at a time when the world needs federated media tools more than ever.

The Verge wrote a story about it and the early Reader team, and it feels very weird to have apparently been deleted from the product’s formation and early history.

Who killed Google Reader?

Google killed Reader in 2013, shutting down its RSS reader after years of neglect. Now, the team that built it reflects on what they made and how the web has changed in the decade since.
