I keep seeing these headlines for stories about the "wife of Weezer bassist" which quickly reveal that "wife of Weezer bassist" is the very least interesting thing about her.

I've thought about emailing Sen Scott Wiener's office to encourage them to sign up to sfba.social but he's not actually my senator. I should email my assembly member and senator though, and maybe Rivas' office, to recommend they get on the fediverse. https://mas.to/@kerrytani/114236826940340544
