It’s a nice conspiracy theory but the School Board recall was initially opposed by SF tech politicos & happened only ‘cause of a couple of very not-rich outsiders. & the DA recall happened because Chesa refused to adjust to the pandemic & handled it poorly.

The story of the San Francisco school board and DA recalls is that they were a data yoink to target SF residents and voters and turn them rightward for future elections. Sounded crazy to say for the past few years but we are seeing the effects now.

understated burn from SF Standard on tech bros loving puffy profiles: "Colossus adds a twist befitting our nepo-baby era. Its subjects tend to be born not in rags but with relative riches. Their great accomplishment is to accumulate even more money than their well-off parents."

People are annoyed that You Can See Everything wasn't more condemning of Holmes but I read it as not about her guilt per se (assumed) but rather as an inquiry into whether she's a delusional psychotic, a garden-variety con-artist, or a stone-cold sociopath. I'm still not sure!
