Bryan Goldberg, the CEO of Bustle and intellectual equivalent of a large wet sponge, just published his latest treatise about people who are not him. He calls it "satire." The rest of the internet calls it defiantly dumb, insulting garbage.

To the pronounced horror of some people who work at Google, a cadre of anti-tech-gentrification protestors today surrounded one of the company's private San Francisco shuttles, eventually smashing one of its windows.

A series of events: the New York Times writes about how insulated Twitter is from its destitute urban surroundings. Twitter engineer writes that, well, if you've made it into the company's offices, you've deserved it.

When PayPal co-founder Max Levchin saw one of San Francisco's innumerable homeless over the weekend, he did what any of us would do: tweeted a picture with a remark about the person's use of portable electronics.

Well, if you're going to be awful, at least be awfully honest. Or something. Or, maybe think twice before hopping off the Google Bus as it's surrounded by protestors and saying "Why don't you go to a city where you can afford it? This is a city for the right people." Update: This was probably staged.

[Demonstrators blocked a Google shuttle bus at 24th and Mission this morning with signs that said "Two-Tier System" and "Illegal Use of Public Infrastructure." Activists want tech companies to pay San Francisco $1 billion for "illegal" use of MUNI bus stops to fund affordable housing and help block evictions. One Google bus rider, upset about the delay in her commute, described the shuttle as hijacked and #undersiege. Image via Twitter]

Words have power. Words have weight. And words—particularly when leveled against the underprivileged tech sector workers of Silicon Valley—can hurt. What might seem like a silly term to you is someone else's cultural nightmare—so cool it with the "t*chie" talk, OK?

The bullshit industry has never boomed harder: Harvard biz student Ryan Allis, the "CEO" of a "company" called "Connect," wants you to know about a "conference" he's organizing. He was kind enough to spam everyone he knows and try to swindle his classmates.

Former San Francisco mayor Willie Brown has looked out his 35th floor window at the St. Regis and decided he doesn't like what he sees. In his latest Willie's World column for the San Francisco Chronicle, Brown admonishes local techies for fueling class warfare in the streets.

The New York Times says Twitter is "providing lawyers to help fight evictions" as part of its tax break agreement with San Francisco. Isn't that like asking Peter Thiel to donate to a college scholarship fund?

Another reason to escape San Francisco: this advertisement, spotted in the back of a cab during Dreamforce 2013.

Dreamforce 2013 attendees sit outside and watch a DJ. Repeat after me: This is a business conference for adults, this is a business conference for adults, this is a business conference for adults, this is a business conference for adults, this is a business conference for adults, this is a business conference for adults...

After pricing much of San Francisco out of affordable housing, budding tech-types are regrouping in style: hotels, theaters, and other gaudy structures are now converted group homes, and having 12 roommates has never been so cushy.

A month before San Francisco's last mayoral election, when Ed Lee's rivals struggled to raise funds, Lee was helped along by independent committees like San Franciscans for Jobs and Good Government, a group funded by Ron Conway and Sean Parker. In one quarter alone, they raised $364,000, half from Conway and $100,000 from Parker.

That squeezed out feeling San Francisco residents have been complaining about isn't just psychosomatic. A new study shows that evictions—especially ones where units are taken off the rental market—have "skyrocketed," reports the San Francisco Chronicle.

This is both the craziest and lamest outcome for the three floating mega-vessels covertly assembled by Google. San Francisco's KPIX 5 news team says the barges will serve as private showrooms and floating party zones for rich clientele.

Whether it's a data center, Google Glass store, or floating stage for an Eric Schmidt orgy on international waters, one thing's for sure about Google's mystery boats: they're creeping everyone out. But an intrepid reporter at the Portland Press Herald checked one out.

Probably a murky area of the law right now, but we're thrilled to see a big first step towards criminalizing face computers.
