I gave a talk to the business students at Lincoln High School this week. Nothing is more fun that seeing students who are ambitious and eager to learn. Thank you to @RidgewayRex for organizing!
I am proud of my academic & professional achievements, and to have studied under some of the leading neuroscientists of the country. But I’m disappointed that SF politics have devolved into smear campaigns to distract us from the issues. So let's get into the facts. 🧵
San Francisco banned Algebra in 8th grade 10 years ago. The board of Ed is waiting another 2 years to bring it back. Commit to vote for math! YES on Prop G: 0m5z7fk5xel.typeform.com/to/znvJeOeo
Public schools in SF have had data showing their approach to math is a failure for years. We need to send them a message with Prop G.

“One of the most important races gets the least amount of attention: San Francisco public school district’s Board of Education. We can enjoy a thriving city that’s great for families if we can elect a strong school board that leads for students...” - Cofounder/ED @MeredithWDodson

Last night @SFParents kicked off our Board Bootcamp Fellowship (Winter ‘23-24 Class) with 12 amazing parent leaders and education champions. This is among of the most impactful work that we do. 1/
💻 Our campaign for a new Computer Lab in Chinatown is *this* close to reaching its goal! To take advantage of Black Friday sales for computers and tech, we're hoping to finish fundraising this week. Please pitch in if you can! gofundme.com/f/chinatown-co…
(Re)building a Computer Lab in Chinatown with Cameron House x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
Century-old San Francisco Chinatown nonprofit Cameron House 金美倫堂 was burglarized in a high-profile case and lost its computer lab. (sfstandard.com/2023/07/19/dis…) Now a group of tech activists are fundraising to rebuild the lab. $30K raised now! Link: gofundme.com/f/chinatown-co…
I went to public school and took math ahead of grade level starting in 6th grade. I'd taken Calc III, Linear Algebra, and Differential Equations by the time I went to college. CA wants that to happen only in private school which would ensure that only the wealthy succeed.
Silicon Valley just hit a new level of silly. A company told me they're not ready for a seed round, so this is their "spore" round.
We are excited to announce our Series A led by @Temasek with investment from @lowercarbon, @Toyota, @felicis and other angels. We will use this $21M to grow our commercial teams to plant millions of trees across land in the US. reuters.com/business/susta… @Reuters @JessopReuters
Want happy climate news? Humans aren’t the first organism to disrupt a stable climate. We can be the first to learn from deep time & do something about it. Our series explores paleobiology & the inherent scalability of biological sequestration. Read more: livingcarbon.com/deep-time
Earthquake in SF just now! It feels like it's been a while. Nice small reminder of where we live. ;)
Putin is literally blaming cancel culture for the backlash against his horrific war. This is what happens when the concept of accountability becomes a culture war issue.
Hopefully, it is now extremely obvious that Europe should restart dormant nuclear power stations and increase power output of existing ones. This is *critical* to national and international security.
1. Production is up, rising, and approaching records, yet Russia’s actions still leave our consumers vulnerable. It’s a reminder that real energy security comes from reducing our dependence on fossil fuels
Russian forces are shelling residential areas of #Kharkiv with Grad missiles. And they claim that they only target military infrastructure…#russianinvasion
Russia claimed a peacekeeping force needed to stop a genocide in Ukraine. As Russia turns their guns on civilians in their homes, they are making their lie into a truth.
Remember when Pres Zelensky of Ukraine asked the US for weapons to defend itself from Russia, and Trump used that to blackmail Ukraine to make up stuff about Biden? This is why we need honest world leaders.

“@GrowSF is not a serious organization. They try to trick people by putting forward non-controversial ideas that everyone can get behind” - @JackieFielder_ The horror!
She continues: “The problem is they use this for the nefarious purpose of trying to support their corporate reactionary…” blah blah Which is truly SF DSA leftism in a nutshell. We can’t have normal common sense things because the people who put them forward aren’t socialists.
RCV might seem complicated, but it's as simple as: 1. Rank every candidate you like, in the order you like them 2. Do not rank any candidate that you dislike There is no benefit to only ranking a single candidate, a strategy known as "bullet voting." growsf.org/blog/2024-04-r…
With almost 50 people running for Mayor, ranked choice voting (RCV) will be essential to electing a mayor who actually improves San Francisco. Don't throw your vote away by voting for one person. You can vote for UP TO TEN! Read more about RCV here 👇 growsf.org/blog/2024-04-r…

Dean wants grocery stores to give a 6 month notice before they close. But all the notice in the world won’t fix the root causes. Dean has had 4 years of notice that our streets aren’t safe. 6 months more will do nothing. And stores will keep closing. kron4.com/news/bay-area/…
Little Star on Divis is honestly on one of my favorite pizza shops in the District. The cornbread crust is sublime. But the restaurant is in limbo. Revenue is down 18% in 4 years. They're not making a profit on any pizza ordered. And plan to close by the end of the year.
proud san francisco socialist @DeanPreston grew up rich in nyc, bought his house with daddy’s cash, and just published his strong personal portfolio of FAANG stock he wants you to know he hates capitalism
It's weird to think that Dean Preston grew up much richer than Garry Tan or Brian Chesky or the Collisons or for that matter almost all the tech founders he hates on.

Well, it's over. The @sfbos has voted to override (and therefore enact) Aaron Peskin's downzoning legislation over the veto and objections of Mayor @LondonBreed

The case for Prop G: Why the algebra measure on San Francisco’s March ballot is necessary. Parents don’t trust the school district’s piecemeal promise to bring algebra back over multiple academic years — because they’ve seen school board plans go off the rails too often before.…
In 2023, crime rates in SF dropped lower than it had in a decade. In 2024, our public safety progress continues. January 2024 had a 30% drop in property crime & 11% drop in violent crime compared to January 2023. Both remain below pre-pandemic levels.
