Two tile mosaics spotted in the Mission. Artist unknown, but it gives Invader vibes. #SFGraffiti #graffiti #mosaic #invader

We are proud to announce: the keynote at the October FediForum will be: The Stakes Are Real: Why the Open Social Web Matters Now. By Ben Werdmuller, senior director of technology at ProPublica. More details and registration: https://fediforum.org/2025-10/

Acronymy is on a mission to define every word as an acronym. The result for "yoyo" gave me a nice chuckle. https://acronymy.net/define/yoyo #yoyo #acronym

I'll be opening for Mei Ehara at the Swedish American Music Hall in SF tomorrow night! A few years back, Mei and her bassist got into yo-yoing, and now they’ve invited some of us local yo-yoers to perform at the start of the show. I can't wait! https://cafedunord.com/tm-event/mei-ehara/ #yoyo […]

So many AI-generated posters in our neighborhood lately. Comedy shows, house painters, community events… all rendered in the same generic slop-style. It even looks like the fonts are generated too, which creates weird artifacts and inconsistent letters. Gross.

Cool #sculpture spotted in Balmy Alley. I can't tell how it was made, but it seems too smooth to be 3D printed. Possibly cast in a mold? I really like it. #SFGraffiti #graffiti

This black pepper tofu and asparagus dish was fantastic! I'd recommend adding white onion . https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1023194-black-pepper-stir-fried-tofu-and-asparagus

Not sure if it’s obvious, but I’ve barely posted any digital art or yo-yo videos lately. I can barely explain it, but I feel like seeing so many ai-generated images every time I go online has really sucked the joy out of working digitally. So I’ve dug out old pens and sketchbooks and have been […]

In what feels like an entire lifetime ago, I used to work on the official X-Files website, and as the show came to a close, we decided (in 2002!) to do a livestream from the series finale party at the House of Blues in West Hollywood. These, friends, are some of the video highlights […]

the head of ICE getting filmed accepting $50,000 in what appeared to be cash bribes from undercover agents is the least surprising news ever > "On Sept. 20, 2024, with hidden cameras recording the scene at a meeting spot in Texas, Homan accepted $50,000 in […] [Original post on universeodon.com]

So many great albums released today. Here are some favorites: Atmosphere https://atmosphere.bandcamp.com/album/jestures Wife (SF) https://recessrecords.bandcamp.com/album/the-importance-of-daydreaming @evangreer (BST) https://evangreer.bandcamp.com/album/amab-acab Teke:Teke (MTL) […]

Tonight in SF: Writer's With Drinks is back! This is a great reading series featuring @charliejane.bsky.social and a slew of other writers. Always entertaining and hard to describe. The show is 7-9pm at Strut, 470 Castro. FREE, donation requested. Masks required. #sanfrancisco

Epic new music video for Tierra Whack’s “Tip Toe”. Its part of the soundtrack to “HIM”, a football themed horror film, and I guess Tierra stars in the film too. Rad! https://youtu.be/WcxgI6IM0vI?si=gxapNeYT1azLQyPv

"There's no more underground. Where do we go? Where do we go?" I love this song by #masterpeace https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmmVkO4QLSw

Tomorrow night, 6–9pm: fundraiser at Adobe Books. Tons of local artists donated work, and I’m selling one of my favorite pink/blue pieces too. Pick up some rad art and support a special bookstore. Flier by Maybe Later.

I really love this vegatarian mapo tofu recipe. The addition of tomatoes and mushrooms gives this sort of a stew vibe, but it works well. Add fermented black beans to bump it up a notch. https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1027236-vegetarian-tomato-mapo-tofu

Another sketch with gel pens and a little spray paint. This one’s sort of a label-on-a-label.

I love cool slaps like this. Collage art by VisionsCollage on USPS labels. #StickerSlaps #SFGraffiti #graffiti

A bunch of Terry Pratchett books in the free library at Clipper and Sanchez in S.F. these mostly appear to be his young adult writings, which I hadn’t seen before.

Still getting the hang of these Mattehop pens by Pentel.

My friend Apple is hosting an live art show tonight at Dermafilia Gallery in San Francisco. Her crew made a bunch of hand-drawn fliers and wheatpasted them around the neighborhood, so I documented as many as I could in this post […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Yo-yo club in SF today. Hope you can join us! #sanfrancisco #yoyo https://mastodon.social/@docpop/115140870709391639

@nythecreator.bsky.social oh my gosh, bridgy is finally sharing your across to the fediverse! Woohoo! I wonder why it 9 months to finally bridge..

Use Signal, y'all.

New pens, new art! These Mattehop pens are very opaque and fun to work with. These types of gel pens (like the Gelly Rolls) are really unusual. They are almost a mix of a paint pen and a roller ball. Totally the opposite effect of the alcohol based markers I'm used to.

Last night, 4 Touchstone Climbing gyms in Northern California (including Dogpatch Boulders and Mission Cliffs) voted to unionize, joining 5 already unionized gyms in SoCal. I’ve been a TC member for 16 years and I’m glad to see workers organizing to make the […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

New record store in the Mission! The Plastic Pancake is a new shop on Valencia near 25th St in #sanfrancisco. I really appreciated their collection of novelty, comedy, and spoken word records, but saw some great looking jazz albums too. More info here https://www.instagram.com/theplasticpancake/

I use the default weather app on my iPhone and my partner uses the default weather app for android. Even though we are using the same location, the Android app is far more reliable. For instance, it rained all night in S.F. and is still raining now. Android keeps saying there’s a 20% chance of […]

I finally found a copy of “Krossover Into The Flower Kosmic!”, a comic book based on the characters of Kool Keith (Dr. Octagon, Black Elvis, Mr Gerbik, etc). #hiphop #koolkeith

I got this season’s flu and Covid shots from our local Walgreens this morning. No issues and both were covered by insurance.

I had a fantastic day riding bikes with friends yesterday. We biked down 17th (I really liked the new bike path) then ate lunch at Breadbelly in Pier 70. Then rode over to Toxic Tire Beach and saw some metal bands playing there. Then stopped by Dog Patch Boulders.

Spotted a piece by Sapien in Toxic Tire Beach. #SFGraffiti #graffiti #homosapiens

you know what? screw it. theremin mode. https://github.com/samhenrigold/LidAngleSensor/releases/tag/1.0.3

Spotted this art hung up near Pier 70. It appears to be cut from wood and attached with strong epic. I think the blue tape was used to hold it up while it cures and just hasn’t been removed yet. #SFGraffiti #graffiti

Wanted to get into MF DOOM, but didn’t know where to start? I made a youtube playlist for casual listeners: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1g-GXFBtDQeOOTIVc_cr3F--uQ4EEYMj The playlist is based on An Absurd Existence’s wonderful video "MF DOOM for Dummies” […]

weird moments from my life, #272 -- explaining Noisebridge to John Cusack (with @micahflee ), from https://boingboing.net/2013/09/04/john-cusack-in-hacker-land.html

On the run.

I'm so proud of you, son! (original video by yoyoshopsg on IG) https://www.instagram.com/reel/DNe9FLmxyKc/?utm_source=butts #yoyo

Tummy ache.

These took forever to re-lace, but totally worth it.

I watched Spike Lee's "Highest 2 Lowest" today and really liked it. It's weird and totally different from what I was expecting from the trailers. Apparently it's based on Kurosawa’s 1963 film High and Low, which I really want to watch now. #spikelee

Great vibes at the Mission Community Market on 22nd St today. Great weather and all my favorite foods are in season. https://foodwise.org/markets/mission-community-market/ #sanfrancisco

“Resist for those who can’t”. Hand embroidered flier on 24th Street in S.F. #SFGraffiti #graffiti #protestart
