Heres tonight's #TimelineCleanse: I can't imagine MAGA doing anything like this. It is so whimsical, creative & silly — an awesome way to protest. Doesn't that look like fun? I would have loved to have been there! I hope we can think of something fun like that here in sunny California. 🌞 ☀️ 😎

If you are in Seattle, please go patronize this store because this is amazing content/promo 😂 (laughing to keep from crying, and I do kind of low-key want that orange spider plant I have never seen that before) Source: www.instagram.com/reel/DTQrTqZ...

I think I reread this one as an adult home for the holidays trying to sleep on a shoddy air mattress "couch" in my grandma's "apartment" loving room on the second floor of my parents' house. Bess gets fat shamed. George gets butch shamed. Nancy has an asexual level of disinterest in Ned.

Not a perfect movie, but what a bizarrely wonderful horror romp!

Why would I get in a Lyft or Waymo in San Francisco when I can ride the 35 Muni and have the whole dang bus to myself for less than $3?

My favorite plays rn are bands I first—and perhaps only recently—heard at an outdoor music sesh, thru free tix I won to some undersold show, passing by on the street, or in a soundtrack to some art school 5-sec animation project. Some BANDS aren't getting 1,000 streams per year, no less each SONGS.

This conservative wolf in moderate Dem clothing has been so blatant in San Francisco. It's absurd anyone still gets away with it, and yet.

I bet you forgot we don’t have a Dept of Education, didn’t you? What a shitshow.

Fierce!

NEW: Courts this year are deciding major cases that will determine the fate of the VRA, confron restrictions on direct democracy, and affect ballot access and redistricting. We explore the seven legal questions that will shape democracy in 2026:

A particularly glaring omission: a complete lack of any good government and watchdog groups.

This is amazing news! 🙌 Sunset Dunes is such an incredible and needed space for people.

I regularly have to go out for lunch by myself in San Francisco. There is a serious lack of sit down restaurants that have affordable lunch plates that make a coherent, quick, and enjoyable lunch for one person.

Mayor Lurie would never (Mayor Breed didn't either) (Mayor Lee didn't either) (Mayor Newsom didn't either)

Started the new year on a great note yesterday! Had a bunch of friends over for a New Year's Day Movie-a-Thon, and one of the flicks we watched was The Muppet Movie. Having a roomful of friends sing Rainbow Connection, Movin' Right Along, Can You Picture That, and the finale together was magical.

My usual reminder that “we’re gonna file a lawsuit” isn’t news. That’s a press release. “We filed a lawsuit and here’s the complaint” is news.

Low production numbers were regularly used to attack progressives, but low 2025 numbers won’t be attributed to politicians. What’s changed is who is in power. Truth is, self-proclaimed “pro-housing” politicians have blocked social housing while doing performative deregulation that’s built nothing.

Around half of San Francisco is without power right now and something like 1/3rd of intersections I drove through had waymos stopped in the middle of them making a dangerous situation even worse. Do not let Waymo into your city.

Dehumanizing terms other San Franciscans have used to describe unhoused people in conversations with me this week: transients vagrants #WordsMatter

There's stubborn, and then there's whatever this is

Awesome! Ever since I camped at Kirby Cove surrounded by all but one empty campsite on an utterly gorgeous night, I've been hoping the park service would start penalizing no shows. Three no-shows is too generous, but it's a start. Jerks shouldn't hoard campsites.

You blathering ageist ableist soggy used mattresses. My elderly father can walk off a plane, but can't safely stand in a security line for nearly an hour then walk through chaotic crowds to his departure gate while carrying carry-on bags and the cane he sometimes needs when his bad leg gets wobbly.

Local elected official here 🙋‍♀️ Calling and tweeting are absolutely not the same thing. If you call or email me I will carefully listen to you or read your message. And as long as it’s not a form message or hate speech, I’ll respond. On social media your message often won’t have the same impact.

"My writing is not a product of a machine. It is a product of my history." Such a great read.

Five days after the Bay Area Clipper upgrade started, and it's a mess! Couldn't register my Clipper card online. Couldn't add fare at 24th St BART station. Hal the Clipper machines weren't working at all. The other machines aren't taking credit card payments, just ATM, which I dont carry on me.

As we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

It's the last day to sign up for ACA health insurance. I know there's uncertainty, but you can always sign up and cancel; you can't not sign up and decide to later (without a qualifying event).

Spotted: some errant html IRL

Next Generation Clipper is launching around the whole Bay Area today! Riders will get new features like: 🚌Free and discounted transfers🚇 💰Fare payment will get faster 📱Instant availability of added value or passes What to know during the Clipper transition 👇

Never vote to give a government power you wouldn't give to your worst enemy

Meanwhile Google maps always tries to send me transferring between infrequent bus routes just to avoid a 15 minute walk to BART, even though the walk+BART route takes half the time.

Time to cancel your Instacart account and let them know why

It appears that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has, within the past week, scrubbed a large amount of climate change content from its official website, as well as *removed human-caused warming* from the discussion on its "causes of climate change" page.

A friend has shingles-caused nerve pain YEARS later. She's likely on daily medication forever. My mom had incapacitating electric shock-like pain for months. I'm going for my first shingles vaccine shot on my 50th birthday! A few days of side effects is better than the agony shingles can cause.

How'd they record the inside of my brain like that?

Redditors + Repro Justice folks- we’ll see you at today’s r/prochoice AMA from 12-5pm ET ! Link below

The idea of brainrot as authentic art will haunt me.

Hey, Yay Area! Here's a Public Service Announcement

Does everywhere have to blast Xmas music right now? It's bad enough how pervasive it is, but every shop and restaurant has the volume at 11. IT'S TERRIBLE. STOP IT.
