  I didn’t recognize at the time what a masterpiece Deerhoof’s The Magic (2016) was. How foolish of me to have previously ranked Breakup Song (2012) over it as their best album of the 2010s

  Chat is it good when "moderate Democrats" in San Francisco take money from the same billionaires funding MAGA? (Chris Larsen, whose company Ripple donated $5m to the ballroom, donated $1m to Daniel Lurie's power grab Props D, E, and F, $500k to supervisor candidate Theo Ellington, and is a top-3 donor to the SF Democratic Party) https://social.wildeboer.net/@jwildeboer/117464746448564710

  GrowSF’s unwanted sister PAC sent their latest misinformation in a perforated envelope, disguised to look like an overdraft notice from your bank. Disgusting. #sfpol

  At least it's finally getting built. The 53-unit development around the corner at 2435-2445 16th Street, where the former auto glass and auto body shops still stand, cleared all permit hurdles in 2019, and there’s no construction in sight. The market is too fickle to rely on for something as essential as housing. We need public investment to build the housing SF needs. Vote yes on B, C, I, J, and 1! https://missionlocal.org/2026/10/san-francisco-mission-district-321-florida-housing-pro...

  New poll has the boy king (SF Mayor Lurie) at 63% approval, or net +37. While that’s frustratingly high for a corrupt POS selling off our city to billionaires, at least it's lower than the 74% that keeps getting bandied about from a poll in the spring. Jackie Fielder approval at net +10, both DSA and the Democratic Party have equal approval and disapproval, net approval of the concept of socialism +17. Chan/Wiener vote intent within margin of error. https://www.thedemocracylab.com/pdfs/...

  I received this GrowSF poll. The language was heavily loaded to make the use of these drones and cameras sound much more limited and accountable than it would ever be in actuality. I saw through it because I know their game, most people wouldn't. Remember that polls can be used more to manufacture a narrative than to honestly uncover what people actually think.

  If you were wondering how the SF #YIMBY movement is going, they’re cheerleading for ending the requirement for developers to plant trees when they’re *already tearing up the sidewalk anyway*. Why bother to fund permanently affordable housing, ban sprawl, or shift highway subsidies to transit? Much easier to promote density by having cities be polluted, gray, and dead anytime some developer says it’ll save him a few bucks.

  The Mission voted against giving the SFPD drones by 20 points. Now SFPD is flying more drones here than any other neighborhood. This is an occupation.

  Vicious attack mailer against Lurie just dropped 🔥 It’s harsh but true. He does indeed oppose big corporations paying their fair share to keep vital SF services from being cut. How out of touch can you be? Yes on D and let’s make the nepo baby a one-term mayor!

  Is the new GBV title Bob Pollard's estimation of his own place in rock songwriting? He's not so boastful as to assume he has a place in the pantheon, but the *crawlspace* of the pantheon, well, that's not too much to ask. https://guidedbyvoices.bandcamp.com/album/crawlspace-of-the-pantheon

  Last boost: I disagree with Connie Chan on transportation issues, but in a federal race where our new Congressperson will vote on foreign wars, I'm going to amplify both of the non–Scott Wiener candidates. Wiener spent years denying the genocide in Gaza and attacking people calling for peace as antisemites. He falsely maintains the problem is just Netanyahu, ignoring that Israeli "opposition" leaders make constant genocidal statements too. Wiener would be an enabler of...

  It would be cool if the Coast Starlight's running time were half as long and if there were 6+ departures per day and you could, on one ticket, freely get off at stops along the way and visit for a bit before getting back on the next train toward your destination.

  Carefully hugged this smol oak tree on Shotwell Street 💚 Coast live oaks were likely the most common tree in so-called San Francisco before colonization and provide habitat/food for 270 species. But they’re rarely planted as street trees: only 9 scattered around the Mission according to DPW. The city only allows them on sidewalks 15’ wide without overhead power lines, a unicorn situation. Even then they usually plant Australian and other exotic species.

  Okay, I need the prog supervisors to have a charter amendment ready to go to require BOS confirmation for mayoral appointees that fill vacancies. If it doesn't have six votes now, so be it, just have it ready for that final vote the minute Chow/Gee or Brooke are seated. It is very unusual and obviously prone to corruption that SF lets its mayor fill vacancies unilaterally https://missionlocal.org/2026/05/sf-london-breed-stephen-sherrill-bloomberg-conor-johnston-district-2/

  Why do anarchist gardeners plant shrubs with upright growing forms? Because proper trees are theft.

  Philanthropy is how the rich trick us into not taxing them, which would let us accomplish much more good and without their veto on how it's done.
