Late night late May petrichor is a gift

Been a while since I caught the last train back from East Bay. Feels good, feels right

As a society I’m not sure we have resolved that Kanye songs still hit at karaoke

The Last Dinner Party is so campy (laudatory)

Been too long since I’ve been to the Fox. The Last Dinner Party is a good excuse

Just had some good Korean in Oakland and I thought you should know

Prizefighter playing a lot of indie catnip for me rn, Nation of Language, Alvvays

The Squamish people of what is now Vancouver were illegally dispossessed of their land 100 years ago. They sued, got the land back, and used their sovereignty to ignore local zoning and build 6,000 new homes over the loud objections of nearby wealthy NIMBYs. Now other tribes are getting in the game.

Jesus would have called the Senate a bad institution that needs to be abolished

I don’t hit the trains that much at Jack London. Takes me back to Ames

Who’d want to live here anyway?

Idea: a brewery on a ferry

I wonder what it would be like to live in a place that enforced blocking the box

Losers stay losing myemail.constantcontact.com/UPDATE--Mari...

Headliner not going on until almost 11 on a Tuesday? Oakland still on some real shit. Anyway, here’s Telehealth, if you want to listen to this year’s best Devo record, they are for you

Meet me in the bisexual murder bathroom

Mitch Marner lifting the Cup and winning a Conn Smythe in his first year after leaving Toronto would be an objectively funny outcome we have no choice but to stan

Back on my bullshit

Finally back in the neighborhood and woof that’s a big hole where people biking are constantly bobbing and weaving to avoid all the drivers going in and out of Trader Joe’s

So I'm pretty diligent about tracking my own expenses and it's maddening how we have absolutely no agreed upon norms when it comes to charges over the subtotal. Some places will tax you the credit card fee, others don't, some will only have tip amounts on the subtotal, others will include everything

“I Follow Rivers” should have made it on its own, we live in a failed society

The regional transit measure is well on the way to the ballot this November. A massive advocate signature gathering effort - over 1,000 people! - generated (pretty sure) a record 77,100 signatures of the 305,000 total. It would have been very close on timing and qualification without that effort.

It’s cute how the 20-somethings next to me are having crises about what they are doing with their lives. Get in line, honey

At long last, #Tahoe has begun to charge parking prices that reflect the costs imposed on society by motorists. Personally, I don't like to pay for parking, but I can't deny that making me pay for the parking I use is both fair and right.

Lmao this is just embarrassing remind me what he has done about our housing shortage again? I’ll wait. Can’t wait for this clown to spend $10m on a third place finish

It is that time again 🍆 🔥

Good day to find some more of San Francisco’s weird lil streets

A perfect day up here

What do you think the rent is?

That we allow Golden Gate Park to become a car-choked sewer any time the weather is nice is embarrassing

Between this and the moronic Helen Lewis piece on Pratchett, the Atlantic is really Atlanticing hard this weekend

Wrote a lil poem for The Sunset yesterday

What a time this must have been. Would have been something to see Running Fence with my own eyes. And the public meetings...lol I can imagine www.sfgate.com/sf-culture/a...

This is ultimately what keeps me very rooted in San Francisco. I have an obligation to stay and fight where I have a base of power

Naga at night

I’ve seen Hannah Lew in a variety of configurations over the last 16 years between Grass Widow and Cold Beat. Fun to see her celebrate her solo release

I saw someone post about bands they’ve seen 5+ times recently and I’ve spent several days thinking about bands I’ve seen that many times and I’m still coming up with more

More and more people are saying

Blessed to live in a city where I can see The April Magazine all the time

More people would bike if you made it easier for them to. It is as simple as that. People, given the chance, quickly realize they do not want to be trapped in cars and you should not force them to be in cars to enjoy and get around where they live

Yikes. "Bikes Will Not Replace Us." When you're mimicking a white nationalist slogan you've totally lost the plot.

Trying to be a good citizen and adding a new version of a release to Discogs should not feel like a Herculean task

2 is a punk number not worthy of your consideration

Closing out with a lil Chartreuse and a lil Cracker, like God intended

Alright one more show tomorrow night (and maybe one in the afternoon if I can make the timing work) and then a couple empty nights. What will I do with myself?

Why isn’t Queer Eye called Withering Gays?

Shoutout to the guy trying to take a phone call at Great American while the band is playing I wish you nothing but the best

Wild Nothing celebrating Gemini this evening, one of the more perfect mission statements of what 2010 sounded like if you ask me. “Chinatown” in particular remains unimpeachable

Been a while since I bought multiple albums from the opener and wasn’t planning to. Love being surprised at shows
