Reading in @sfstandard.com that SF's Vallaincourt Fountain will be taken down. A bummer that SF let this weird piece of landscape design wither. I love that it looked like a collapsed freeway. (A freeway used to run next to it). Here are pix I got with water in 2022: sfstandard.com/2025/11/03/v...

New Mexico's universal free childcare (so Elizabeth Warren!), Colorado's free lunch, Mamdani's free buses: something good is happening. (And don't anyone get riled up but maybe it's happening incrementally?) p.s. Some (but not all) free community colleges in California.

New York City Mayor-elect Mamdani is kicking off with a big move: bringing former Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan to co-chair his transition team. It's a strong suggestion that he’s willing to take on powerful corporate interests as mayor. trib.al/99csETK

If you work at the DNC I feel like that whole Jawarhalal Nehru section of Zohran’s speech was for you.

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

NYMag blew up its story about ICE's increased presence at 26 Federal Plaza, and pasted it on a wall a few blocks away on Broadway

One of my questions about that NYT Popcast interview with Rosalía is I'd like to know if the hosts plan on asking Taylor Swift whether she plans to sing in Spanish or Korean. The idea that English is somehow the universal language of pop is absurd.

Rest now, brother. We have the watch. And I will see you in Valhalla. 🫡

Silicon Valley’s performative dropping out is … performative. They want education for them but not for you. They want chauffeur-driven cars for themselves but robot taxis for you. They want screen free classrooms for their kids but screens for yours.

"The old sculpture, like White supremacy, is gone and still here: broken, mixed-up, monstrous, lurching blindly forward. The work unearths the ravages of the past and the present, while aggressively asserting there will be no going back." Sharon Mizota on "MONUMENTS" email.kcrw.com/shock-rocker...

My office captured several stills from today’s @dhsgov.govmirrors.com video supporting Gregory Bovino. The imagery is deeply troubling; it evokes another era when masked government agents rounded up so-called “undesirables" (I’m sure that’s just a coincidence).
