Join my new predictive market platform Douchero to place a wager on which one of these guys gets caught with CSAM first.

My dear friend Zoe has set up her therapy practice to support queer folks coming out (including supporting families who are trying but clueless). If you know a US teen or family she might be helpful to, pass it on! www.rainbowconnectionscounseling.com

I ate these and didn’t die!

MTA killed 365 units of affordable housing citing funding constraints. Prop I tax revenue could have been used to fund these homes but Lurie refuses to spend that $ on housing. And now he & the YIMBY supervisors are trying to abolish the tax to enrich billionaires instead of building social housing.

Broken clock

you have to have a pretty impoverished vision of God if you're able to convince yourself that (a) starting a war will somehow trick God into doing something and (b) that God will pat you on the head for it upon return

Republicans consistently paint my entire profession with a broad brush of indoctrinating and grooming kids and all we get is crickets from democrats. I don’t even care about being underpaid, I just wish teachers were treated with a tenth of the respect that the troops are.

Oh look it's the "fetch" of Democratic politicians

a progressive income tax? sorry kiddo, that betrays a "utopian" desire that can only ever end in tragedy. but a relentless program of constant wars, occupations, and genocides fast and slow, for oil, land, and fulfilling the commands of a blood-hungry god? thats just Adults in the Room doing Policy

The Groundhog Day War

Im 38 and have never known a day in my life where the dems and republicans weren't salivating at the chance to bomb Iran. The amount of lies and propaganda we've been fed for decades was always going culminate into this. Solidarity with the people of Iran forever.

Sure

The sailors on the USS Gerald Ford who keep stuffing their t-shirts into the toilets so the bathrooms flood and the carrier can’t deploy to Iran should be awarded a collective Nobel Peace Prize

Media literacy: this (common) framing is misleading. $183m sounds like a lot, but it's over 3 years. SFUSD's annual budget is ~$1.2 BILLION and this year's cost is <$32m. So the contract represents 2.65% increase on the budget, consistent with inflation. Big whoop. thefrisc.com/sfusds-183m-...

MAKE AN EMERGENCY DONATION to Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate there and they are overwhelmed with requests. CO borders KS, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out. GO DONATE. tcpipeline.org

Friends coming to GDC, let me know if you'll be in town Sunday evening; we have a surprise open seat at our pre-gdc dinner party.

I ain’t watching all that

There have always been horrifically anti-trans groups and individuals. Few have done more, though, to launder their hate into “respectable” conversations than Jess Singal. No publications have done more to help that along than The Atlantic and The New York Times.

this game rules play The Killing Stone y'all

Sometimes the rapist class is SO CLOSE to understanding feminism. Why are working-class people so much more attuned to class dynamics? Why do women & people of color perceive micro-aggressions? Why do prey have big ears?

Kiki's Delivery Service 4K imax remaster playing at the Metreon Friday of GDC, I'd hate to have a talk booked against this gkids.com/films/kikis-...

Alysa Liu telling 60 Minutes “I love struggling, it makes me feel alive” is a legit revolutionary statement from a Bay Area native in a time when copious amounts of time and resources are being put toward convincing us to opt out of experiencing struggle, friction and self-actualization

Free (probably) morels, most likely won’t kill you, no guarantees.

Before Sunrise (1995). Walking out of the theater once wasn’t enough!

Should we tax rich assholes? Let's ask two rich assholes. sfist.com/2026/02/18/n...

If you've ever seen those Chick-fil-A ads with the cows trying to get people to eat more chicken, you understand the principle behind this article

"It's not artificial intelligence. It's African intelligence." Michael Geoffrey Asia, the secretary general of the Data Labelers Association in Kenya tells @jasonkoebler.bsky.social about the notoriously brutal and underpaid work of training AI. Watch now: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QH65...

I think the media understands the difference between e-bikes and illegal e-motos. They are intentionally conflating the difference between legal e-bikes and illegal e-motos to stoke fear and get clicks. It's could destroy the e-bike revolution if we don't find a way to stop it.

Less than 24 hours after these folks went to yell at Superintendent Su, SFUSD called an emergency meeting and then we got our new contract. www.instagram.com/reel/DUreX7x...

btw a few weeks ago i went to a powerpoint party and did my talk on how AI sucks and you shouldn't use it and anyway this is my entire thesis

There’s a lot of truly evil criminal shit happening in the world these days, so it’s nice to read about a good old-fashioned shady tow truck operator.

Direct action gets the goods

you can watch it here:

“It’s unfair of you to expect me to have had a moral compass long before I was ever forced by a PR crisis to feign one.”

The thing I found so disturbing about Threads was the idea that if reduced to bare survival we could lose culture— not Shakespeare but *English*— in the next generation. An enormous relief when the Cold War ended the year after I saw the film.

San Francisco teachers will enter their 4th day on strike Thursday, unless a deal is made late tonight. Negotiations have centered on wages, among other issues, so we asked: How much do teachers make vs. city workers? On average, less—much less. missionlocal.org/2026/02/sf-t...

Senator, I am a San Francisco parent who supports the teachers strike so that we can have staffed and stable classrooms. There are statements from @saikatforcongress.bsky.social and Sup. Connie Chan supporting UESF and they have showed up on the picket line. Are you supporting the teacher's union?

my big takeaway from @emmaruthless.bsky.social's SFUSD strike diary: anyone trying to tell you it's families vs. teachers is trying to sell you a load of crap www.coyotemedia.org/area-teacher...

SFUSD teachers still on strike! Bringing breakfast to striking teachers at my neighborhood school was the easiest & most heartwarming thing I've done in ages.

why do you need to observe your house if you're not in it. you are giving yourself an opt-in mental illness. no one has to live like this

If you weren't bothered about it cooking your brain, perhaps quit using it because it requires tracking your location & citizenship status. jfc

SpongeBob is older than ICE and does more for America.

All San Franciscans should be raging mad at SFUSD leadership right now. The stalemate with the teachers union is just part of an attack on the city's public education. The budget woes are exaggerated to the point of misinformation. Teachers separately funded with state money are being eliminated.

Teachers WANT to teach. They should be able to afford to live in the communities where they teach. You can help these teachers do so, just like I just did. Support the UESF Solidarity Strike Fund. Contribute here: actionnetwork.org/fundraising/...

This is insane. The superintendent of my school district is out here crying at a press conference to make sure teachers don't get raises. Real gaslight, gatekeep, girl boss hours here in SFUSD.

In addition to lying about the contract being offered to teachers, the school district is restricting access to programs for recent immigrants contrary to official communications via @esksf.bsky.social @missionlocal.org missionlocal.org/2026/02/teac...
