    Free claw machine on the corner of Lexington and 19th. Apparently this happened last week too, and that one still had $7 in coins in it. I wonder where they are coming from. #SanFrancisco #MissionDistrict

    @loops@loops.video @dansup@mastodon.social can&#39;t figure out why I keep getting an error when trying to upload a short video via the web. It&#39;s under the file size, and looks like it&#39;s uploaded fine, but I get an error when trying to publish. Happens with every video I try tonight.

    I just realized there&#39;s a video-producer gap in my friend group, and that bums me out. I have local friends I can talk to about photography, illustration, yo-yos, electronic music production, circuit soldering, graffiti, activism, and art pranks. But I don&#39;t have any homies I can talk to about pacing, storytelling, scripting, or editing. Video production plays as big a role in my life as any of those other things, maybe bigger. It&#39;s weird that it&#39;s so solitary for me.

    Rad to see so many murals and graffiti pieces going up on Mission St today. Especially at 18th and Mission, where an all-women crew is putting up some fresh pieces. Shout out to AP.E for organizing this session. #SFGraffiti

    Here&#39;s a weird bit of Batman history: Moebius, the legendary French cartoonist, submitted a short Batman comic to DC, who promptly rejected it. Pissed off, Moebius then submitted a twisted parody of his comic to Penthouse Comix, who ran it in 1995. Read that version on my site: https://docpop.org/2016/09/moebius-parodies-batman-1995s-not-batman/

    The American Astronaut was incredible! I&#39;ve never heard of this film before, but I assume it&#39;s a cult classic. It really nails the classic sci-fi vibe with a great sense of humor and fantastic music. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_American_Astronaut

    I can’t believe this keeps happening. Never had it happen before 2026, now it’s happened to five shoes this year. What is going on?!

    Chuck Tingle gave a fantastic presentation tonight at the @internetarchive@mastodon.archive.org. Really funny, thoughtful, and uplifting. Even if you haven’t read his books, I’d recommend seeing him speak if you get the chance.

    Last night I played &quot;Class Struggle&quot;, a 1978 #boardgame designed to teach #Marxist theory. The game was designed by Bertell Ollman, a professor of politics at NYU. At the beginning of the game, players roll the &quot;genetic dice&quot; to determine their class: Capitalist, Workers, Farmers, Students, etc Class Struggle obviously draws inspiration from Monopoly, but I think Cosmic Encounter (published in 1977) may have been inspiration for CS&#39;s asymmetric rules (depending on which...

    I’m loving the return of alternative papers in #SanFrancisco. Definitely feels like a reaction to the rise of ai slop online. I hope these periodicals stick around for a while.

    Weird double-whip #yoyo trick I found last week. I thought it was a new trick, but someone tracked down an older version of this trick from 17 years ago https://youtu.be/nFnAbxK5938?si=tTuK74l3FiSIwOJu&amp;t=26 I&#39;m glad I asked before I just took credit for it.
